About Nicolette Forte
Nicolette Forte is a dynamic and multi-faceted artist whose creative practice spans music, theatre, visual arts, and community engagement. With two decades of experience, she brings a rare generosity of spirit and an innate ability to connect deeply with people from all walks of life. Her artistic journey is a vibrant fusion of disciplines, reflecting her boundless curiosity and commitment to creative expression.
A graduate of Swinburne University’s Small Companies and Community Theatre program (2007), Nicolette has been a dedicated performer, theatre-maker, and arts facilitator ever since. Early in her career, she co-created and toured Billie’s Backyard, an acclaimed Theatre in Education production with performance troupe Theatre on Toast. Since then, she has performed at Melbourne, Adelaide, and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals (2013–present), and has worked in creative support roles with Rag Theatre, City of Voices Theatre, Y-GLAM Youth Theatre, Polyglot, SPARC, and All The Queens Men (2011–present). Her community arts projects have been in collaboration with organisations such as Port Phillip Community Group, Stonnington Council, City of Port Phillip, and Sacred Heart Mission (2015–2019).
Music
Songwriting is a universal language for sharing emotions—a way to connect with the heart and express what words alone sometimes cannot capture. Nicolette Forte writes songs about the experiences that move, shape, and transform her human journey. Often, the songs give voice to the things she find too difficult to speak about. Through singing, these feelings are alchemised—transmuted as if by magic—into something lighter, something easier to carry.
