A story teller at heart, Amy Yatta combines dance and theater in order to promote empathetic communication and compassionate listening. Her goal is to create art that relates to audiences on a deep, personal, and emotional level. Growing up in a small town in central Pennsylvania, Amy channeled her knack for daydreaming and constant fidgeting into a love for dance and musical theater. That passion for performance led her to pursue a BFA in dance from Point Park University. The pandemic swept the nation and lockdown commenced in the middle of her sophomore year, and despite all of the hardships remote learning presented, numerous supplemental film projects and creative assignments led her to discover a love for choreography. From then on, there was no turning back; diving head first into creating, she has now produced numerous dance theater works throughout Pittsburgh and has no plans of stopping anytime soon. Amy’s mission is to help audiences break down barriers within themselves and recognize the humanity inside each and every person through her relatable art and storytelling.
