Sidney (Sid), a vibrant member of Restless Dance Theatre’s dancer community, has always had a deep love for music and movement. His journey into the world of performing arts began at the tender age of 7 when he took his first steps onto the stage during musical and drama extravaganzas at primary school. It wasn’t long before Sidney found himself drawn to the front of the stage, relishing the spotlight. Sid joined the Company dancers in 2024.

His passion for drama continued to blossom throughout his time at Henley High School and Company AT, where he explored various roles and honed his theatrical skills. Sidney’s artistic journey led him to No Strings Attached Theatre of Disability, where he continues to learn and grow.

In 2019, Sidney embarked on his adventure with Restless Dance Central workshops, joining in the middle of Term 3. His exceptional talent and dedication caught the attention of Michelle, who extended a special invitation to join the Emerging Artists ensemble. Sidney continues to thrive in this creative environment, cherishing the opportunity to perform alongside his peers. His ultimate goal is to grace the grand stages of the world with his talent.

What Sidney values most about being part of Emerging Artists is how it encourages him not only to dance but also to delve into his creative depths, expressing himself through movement and pushing his artistic boundaries.

Sidney’s dream is to become a celebrated performer, captivating audiences with his dance prowess. In 2023, Sid performed Ecoute Pour Voir | Listen to See for the Restless Open Day with Restless Company artists. Then, in 2024, Sid performed Ecoute Pour Voir | Listen to See in Singapore’s Esplanade Festival while training with Company artists and performed in Shifting Perspectives in VIVID Sydney.

Outside of his artistic pursuits, Sidney finds solace and adventure in the great outdoors. He enjoys swimming, snorkelling, and scuba diving, relishes cycling, and finds tranquillity in long walks with his loyal canine companion. Additionally, Sidney has ventured into the world of music, collaborating with a DJ mentor to craft unique House and EDM mixes, which he has had the privilege of showcasing at various community events and even as a guest on 92.7 Fresh FM radio.
