Americans in Havana

Americans in Havana

Premiere: 2025, Brooklyn, New York

Americans in Havana is inspired by a trip Caitlin took to Cuba with her husband Andy, who was returning 30 years after immigrating to the United States as a teenager. The work is a love letter to Andy and his family– celebrating the beauty, passion, and resilience expressed in traditional Cuban songs. It follows the arc of the trip from classic cars to the world's most beautiful beach to the stunning architecture of Old Havana, eventually taking a turn that most Americans could never have foreseen.

Sharp Woman

Premiere: 2025, Queens, New York

Sharp Woman is an exploration of how women negotiate gender-based expectations and limitations and how their tactics have evolved over the past few generations. An all-female trio navigates angular positions with precision and attack, at times playing with provocatively feminine imagery, all searching for a sustainable sense of empowerment through self-acceptance. They seem to make some headway, but old questions and conflicts linger in the background.

Three Neapolitan Songs

Premiere: 2019, Manhattan, New York

A simple love duet set to music by Roberto Murolo, Neapolitan Songs explores the romance, confines, challenges, and comfort of a lasting partnership. The dancers liltingly glide, swoop, and spiral in unison, exploring the ways their bodies might fit together. Tension grows as they begin to exert influence and fall into asymmetrical roles. The power struggle comes to a breaking point and the couple is faced with a decision about how to move forward.

This piece premiered in 2019 by Caitlin Sikora and Joseph Giordano with photography by Redford Mancio. This piece was restaged in 2023 performed by Jared McAboy and Xenia Mansour with photography by John Suhar.

Lux Perpetua

Premiere: 2023, Manhattan, New York

Lux Perpetua is an exploration of organized religion from Caitlin’s perspective as a former practicing Catholic. Returning to Catholic mass for the respective funerals of each of her grandparents, she was struck by both the comfort one could find in such strong multi-generational tradition and her own numbness to the words and actions in the service. The dance grapples with the reality that the church is, for many, a symbol of judgement, restriction, and exclusion, and for others like her grandparents, a source of comfort in the face of grief and meaning in the absence of answers. Relating to both perspectives, Caitlin draws inspiration from the Catholic church’s grand and elaborate architectures, centuries-old musical traditions, memorized verses and ritualistic choreographies: sitting, standing, kneeling, bowing heads, standing again. With music from Verdi's Messa da Requiem and an original musical collaboration with Jon Tippens, the piece reimagines the Catholic requiem mass as a eulogy for a once reassuring religious practice and identity, a place to grieve the losses experienced when one walks away from their former faith.
