THE ARTIST BEHIND ASTC

MORE THAN
ONE WAY
TO CREATE.

Born in Italy and based in New York City, Amanda Spilinga is a multidisciplinary artist whose work challenges the boundaries between artistic disciplines.

Trained in ballet, modern, jazz, and contemporary dance, Amanda developed an artistic practice shaped by technical discipline and a desire to explore beyond established forms.

After moving to New York at the age of 20, she continued expanding her creative vocabulary through street dance, theatre, performance, and storytelling.

Her artistic journey became increasingly driven by a question that would eventually shape Alternative Synergy:

What becomes possible when we stop separating the different parts of who we are?

THE BIRTH OF
ALTERNATIVE
SYNERGY.

In 2017, Amanda founded Alternative Synergy The Company to create a space where different artistic languages, cultural perspectives, and individual experiences could coexist, challenge one another, and generate something new.

Her vision took shape through The Debut (2018), ASTC's inaugural stage production, bringing together 16 artists from diverse backgrounds and movement disciplines.

What began as an original performance project evolved into a multidisciplinary creative company encompassing stage productions, choreographic works, artist development, movement education, and creative collaborations.

THE APPROACH

BEYOND
EXECUTION.

Amanda's work extends beyond creating performances.

Through the development of the ASTC Dance Method, she explores how technique, musicality, storytelling, improvisation, and physical awareness work together to develop more versatile, expressive, and independent artists.

Her approach challenges the idea that artistic growth is measured solely by technical execution.

Instead, it invites performers to take ownership of their choices, deepen their relationship with their bodies, and discover possibilities beyond familiar patterns.

This philosophy informs both ASTC's original productions and its educational experiences.

THE CREATIVE VISION

A COMPANY
THAT KEEPS
EVOLVING.

As Founder and Artistic Director, Amanda shapes ASTC's creative direction, develops original concepts, and brings together artists and collaborators whose perspectives contribute to each project's identity.

Her work spans choreography, theatre, writing, directing, performance, and interdisciplinary storytelling.

Through ASTC, she continues to build a company defined not by a fixed roster or a single artistic discipline, but by the possibilities of collaboration, experimentation, and transformation.
