Siena Avalon Ciancia

A shifting landscape where bodies search for home—in rooms, in others, and in fleeting sensations that make the mundane sacred.

This work-in-progress traces home as something felt, built, lost, and reimagined. Bodies search for a place to land, to be held, to recognize themselves; sometimes that home is a room, a person, or a fleeting sensation under the skin. Hovering between the domestic and the ethereal, the piece queers the familiar — unsettling norms, reframing the mundane, and asking how bodies carve out space when traditional notions of belonging fall short. It invites the audience into an intimate, shifting landscape where sanctuary is fragile, sensation becomes holy.

Siena Avalon Ciancia is a multidisciplinary, movement-based performance artist and creator. Originally from the United States, Siena has spent years living nomadically, gathering inspiration from different corners of the world before rooting in Amsterdam, NL. Their work emerges from the intersection of multiple disciplines, forming an evolving exploration of identity, perception, and embodied experience. Guided by a fascination with fantasy and immersive world-building, Siena crafts realms that blur reality and imagination — enticing viewers into the worlds which we embody.
