ABOUT THE COMPANY
Sikora + Dance was founded in 2022 by Artistic Director Caitlin Sikora after 12 years of self-producing choreography as an independent artist. With her unique background in Dance, Physics, and Human-Computer Interaction, Sikora creates work that is both cerebral and visceral–dealing with emotional and existential complexity through physically demanding movement sequences that weave into gradually transforming patterns.
Sikora + Dance finds its roots in ballet, modern, and contemporary dance forms, alongside unique influences like ballroom dance, New York Minimalism and conceptual art. The company’s creations celebrate the beauty of the body and the dualities that challenge the mind.
Sikora's movement and performance aesthetic have been shaped by her time performing with the Hannah Kahn Dance Company and in works by William Forsythe, Merce Cunningham, Ohad Naharin, Cora Bos-Kroese and Winifred R. Harris. Her choreography and digital creations have been featured in the Boulder International Fringe Festival, Warwick Summer Arts Festival, MIT’s Hacking Arts Festival, and SXSW. In NYC, her work has been performed at Gibney's Agnes Varis Performing Arts Center in a split bill with veterans Summation Dance Company, Green Space as part of their D.I.G. Artist Residency, Theatre for the New City, and now CPR – Center for Performance Research. The company is presently based in New York City.
