CHOREOGRAPHER

chrysalis is a representation of my growth journey the past year and a half. from the seedling of starting college as a dance major to the sprouting and discovery of myself, I am led by the path God is guiding me on. this piece combines the techniques of various dance styles, both Western and non-Western, that are living in my body. this performance specifically was performed in an MFA Capstone piece titled AKATA in October 2022. please let me know what you received from this piece, and I hope you are blessed by it. ~xo sydney Choreography By: Sydney Richardson Music: On the Nature of Daylight By Max Richter Performed at UCLA Glorya Kaufman Dance Theater

A work that discovers the power and intentionality of testimony. Everyone has a testimony; something they thought they wouldn't come back from or wouldn't survive. Yet through the storm, there was yet light. We share our stories, we bloom, we overcome.
