Five Skins is a nonprofit interdisciplinary arts organization combining music with other art forms. Its performances incorporate theatre and dance, curated live film scores, and original film productions. The music extends beyond the classical repertoire into free improvisation and folk tradition, honoring musical heritage alongside the artistic achievements of the past.

The name comes from the architect, ecologist and painter Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and refers to the five layers of being that connect us every day: our skin, clothing, home and family, society, and the Earth itself.

Alongside its performances, Five Skins is active in education, running an Interdisciplinary Workshop for musicians to nurture creative development in its community in Vilnius and abroad.

Five Skins' collaborators and partners have included the Wende Museum of the Cold War, American Cinematheque, the Pico Union Project, the American Institute of Architects, the Hundertwasser Foundation, and Villa de la Texonière.

Five Skins was founded in 2019 by Daniel Goldblum and Dominyka Šeibok, and is now led by Dominyka Šeibok.

Dominyka Šeibok

Dominyka Šeibok is a Lithuanian flutist and interdisciplinary artist whose work asks a question classical music rarely does: what happens when the instrumentalist stops disappearing behind the score?

Her recent project To Embody Music explores flute and body expression as a single artistic language - unlocking what classical instrumentalists have always had but rarely used: the body as a full instrument of musical expression.

She has collaborated internationally with choreographer Joachim Schlömer (Switzerland) and the Heidi Duckler Dance Company (California), and has performed with the Neue Philharmonie München, the International Orchestral Institute Attergau (a Vienna Philharmonic project), and at the Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venice. Her playing can be heard on the SRF Radiostudio Zürich label in Des Knaben Wunderhorn with conductor Graziella Contratto.

Trained with Christian Studler at the Hochschule der Künste Bern, Dominyka is a first-prize winner of multiple international competitions and recipient of a Presidential Honor of Lithuania. She has served as Principal Flute at the Szczecin Philharmonic and currently performs as a guest with the Lithuanian National Philharmonic.
