We’re thrilled to celebrate Jayden Couzner, who has recently joined Restless Dance Theatre’s Emerging Artist program.

Jayden’s journey with Restless began at just eight years old in our Links class. From there, he progressed into Central, continuing to develop his skills. Now, after a successful audition, Jayden has taken the exciting next step into our Emerging Artist program.

Concurrently with fellow Emerging Artist Phoebe Moore, Jayden graduated high school at the end of 2025 and now spends two full days each week training. Jayden also continues to attend Central, as the benefits and friendships from this class remain an important part of his life.

Our Emerging Artist program provides a professional platform for dancers to refine their skills, gain industry experience, and explore future artistic pathways in dance theatre. Jayden is also particularly interested in the technical side of performance, bringing curiosity about how productions come to life both on and off the stage.

Jayden is also a part of our ReMix program a year long initiative led by and for Autistic and neurodivergent artists.

Welcome, Jayden. We can’t wait to see what’s ahead.
