In 2025, Skipor has worked with Susann Neuenfeldt of PKRK, Kianí del Valle of KDV Ensemble, collaborated with Roberto Duarte for his “Retratos” series, and premiered their work “you can always carry me” (presented by Radialsystem “Open Stage”).  In 2024, they choreographed "my sky. this body" for CORDILLERA (Raum für Körper und Utopien) as part of the autumn program Relicarios//Sterben Noch Nicht Ganz, and they were awarded a research residency to develop their first durational piece “wide and wide, still flying" which premiered in Sarzana, Italy. 

They have been a dancer in residence with the “Creative Gesture: Collective Composition Lab for Music and Dance” under the direction of Emily Molnar at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (CA) and were a recipient of the Nō Studios Fellowship for Creative Professionals (US) which supported their independent research project on the relationship between dance pedagogy/performance and infant development.

Graduating summa cum laude, Skipor holds a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences and minor in Anthropology from Arizona State University, with special focus on human development, ethnophysiology, and ecological reciprocity. Skipor’s work acts as a foreground where they express their perceptions and experiences through a blend of both the arts and sciences.
