Ariana Andretta is a multi-hyphenate artist based in New York City. Her artistic practice stems from the belief that dance is a form of communication, and she often gravitates toward artists who share that spark. She has danced with creatives such as Al Blackstone, Billy Griffin, Jena VanElslander, and Yancy Greene for New York City-based projects. Most recently, Andretta created Tar Beach, which was incubated through New York Theatre Barn’s open choreography lab. In educational settings, she enjoys passing on the gift of movement to her students and sharing in the engagement of community. arianaandretta.com
