About Nia
Bio
Nia Farrell (she/they) is a creator/writer, performer, and Mundane Afrofuturist. On stage and screen, Nia specializes in ritual-based work that celebrates the dreams of Blk (Black) communities and offers paths to actualizing those dreams. Through this work, they invite audiences to exercise the muscles of radical imagination and envision near-futures that begin today.
Nia makes work alongside director Talia Paulette Oliveras as “Ta-Nia” - a theatre-making duo dedicated to making Blk space in an anti-Blk society. Together, Ta-Nia has collaborated and/or presented work in New York at Mercury Store, Playwrights Realm, Soho Rep (Writer/Director Lab; “A Map to Nowhere things are”), Ars Nova (ANT Fest; “Dreams in Blk Major”), and internationally at Schauspielhaus Zürich (“What You’ll Find On the Way to Becoming”), Berliner Festspiele Theatertreffen Stückemarkt, Schauspiel Dortmund (“Eternity, The End, and Everything that Never Began”), and Hessisches Landestheater Marburg (“Tactics for the Future”).
As the Internal Creative Producer at Nine Muses Entertainment, founded by Bryce Dallas Howard, Nia manages the company’s slate of projects and co-facilitates its emerging artist programming. A member of the first Nine Muses Lab cohort at NYU, Nia has since supported Howard on the live-action Star Wars series “Skeleton Crew,” “The Mandalorian,” and “The Book of Boba Fett” (Disney+). She is a co-producer on the documentary feature “PETS” for Disney+, directed by Howard and produced by Imagine Docs, and will Co-EP the feature film “All of Her” for Nine Muses.
