Yoshiko Sienkiewicz (AKA Yokko)

Actor, Movement Artist,

i am an Actor, Movement artist. I was working as an actor in Japan, then came to the USA, and started studying English in 2006. I attended the University of Oregon, and SUNY at Albany, where I recieved a B.A in theatre. I've trained at Shakespeare & Company, after which I graduated with an MFA in Acting from The Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University in 2012.   I lost my hair at age 19 years old, when I had just started studying acting, and living by my self in Tokyo, Japan. Unfortunatley, one of medications I took to try to recover my hair gave me irritation, and I lost all of my skin. I was in the hospital for about four months, then I stayed in my family home for one year untill my skin became manageable. After much reflection and recovery, I was able to act again. So, I decided to enter the SLA theatre company to be trained. I also learned Mixed martial Arts, and how to work in a team. It was good experience, however, at that time I was always wearing a wig. I was too afriad to share fully who I was and I always dreamed to go to the USA to study English & acting. So, I came here and started studying theatre. I dream of sharing my work to connect to each other. Meeting is like a miracle. There are so many people on this planet; there are few people I can meet in my life, people who I meet are precious to me, people who I exchange words, emotions, thoughts are very important to me. Thank you for being you.
