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. Sikora is an NYC-based dancer, choreographer, media artist, and software engineer. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UC Irvine with undergraduate degrees in Physics and Dance, continuing on to an MFA in dance from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and an MS in Integrated Digital Media from NYU's Tandon School of Engineering.
With strong roots in ballet, modern, and contemporary dance forms, alongside unique influences like ballroom dance, New York Minimalism and conceptual art, Sikora celebrates the beauty of the body and the dualities that challenge the mind. Her creative work is both cerebral and visceral–dealing with emotional and existential complexity through physically demanding movement sequences that weave into gradually transforming patterns.
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. She currently works on AI and Human-Computer Interaction at Google while continuing to build her company of bright, talented artists.
