About

Since beginning to dance at the age of 2, Arianna has grown to identify as a movement storyteller. Utilizing her dance and theatre background along with her experiences and her heritage, Arianna uses movement to showcase truth, while educating and uniting the community around her through understanding. Recently, Arianna’s works have featured multi-mediums of art, combining not only movement and dance, but acting, music, visual art, and poetry to convey the personal experiences of the performers as well as her own. Arianna is a firm believer that no one can tell your story better than you. It is a choice, privilege, and freedom everyone should have.

As a director, Arianna encourages her cast members to collaborate and converse with each other in order to build a trustful artistic collective. In fostering this environment, Arianna has been able to create more vulnerable works that are personal to each individual performer and to the group as a whole. This creative approach puts the collective group of artists before the work and has been a vital part of her process and success. Arianna believes that by starting the creative process with a conversation, her work also becomes the artists’ work, and together they can comfortably take on more challenging topics and touch audiences in deeper interpersonal ways.

Arianna is passionate about creating works that are not just about the vulnerability of humanity, but those that create the opportunity to speak one’s truth, and fight for what humanity truly should be - a connected community.
