Sydney Lemelin was born in California under a libra moon.  She holds a BA in Dance and BS in Information Science from the University of Maryland, College Park (Go terps).  She spent a post-bacc year in rural Vermont ripping up floors and creating spreadsheets for The Field Center, an interdisciplinary performing arts center.  Then, purely for dramatic affect, Sydney relocated to southern Florida.  She now brings boutique contemporary performance to the idyllic sea-side village of Sarasota as The Ringling’s Performance Producer.  She’s excited to be back in D.C. (but don’t call it a comeback) to perform for her longtime conspirator, collaborator, and nemesis Amber Lucia Chabus.  She has enjoyed dancing with Moving Ethos, BANDportier, Heart Stück Bernie, PEARSONWIDRIG DANCETHEATER, Britta J. Peterson, Jo Lloyd (Melbourne, AUS) and Orange Grove Dance.  She has presented work with Project Alchemy’s Choreographer Showcase, Sarasota Contemporary Dance’s Rising Choreographers Showcase, Dance Place, Baltimore Theater Project, The Clarice Center for Performing Arts, and more. 

Grateful for the invitation to step back into performance with a close friend and collaborator of many years around themes that have been popping up in my own life.  What does it mean to heal and live and find joy communally? The body is my favorite means of postulation- lets dive in!
