Artist Statement

Siena Yannotti

Dancer, Choreographer

I move to be understood in the most authentic way possible. My body acts as the display of my intimate knowledge; to divulge myself to anyone who wishes to know. I move through life inspired by the things that bring joy, energy, and utter abandon: parties, my friends, art, taking up space. The fleeting nature of dance demands absolute presence, and I am committed to experiencing it richly, wholly, and confusingly. I am interested in revealing the things that would never be spoken aloud through movement. The visceral feelings that manifest within come out in the most human and animalistic way possible: through our flesh. I create to experience life in its rawest form.
