She starred in operas ranging from Donizetti’s Elixir of Love with The Orlando Philharmonic, to Poulenc’s Les Mamelles de Tirésias at the Aldeburgh Festival, and Atthis, by G.F.

PERFORMER

is a poly-disciplinary performance artist based in New York City. Her inspiration is deeply rooted in her quest for collective healing, self-awareness, and the freedom and advancement of queer, black and indigenous people of color. She utilizes various movement-based practices & healing modalities to dismantle fear-based thinking around our identities in order to self-actualize our deepest creative desires. Her practice consists of exploring, sustaining, and reinventing the provisional nature of humanity as it relates to the environment in its macro and micro moments through movement, music, & performance. In the last years, she has performed in a series of works including “BLANKS” (Getsethamane Herron-Coward/Signature Theater), "The Hang" (Taylor Mac/ HERE Arts), "Dark Girl Chronicles" (Nia O. Witherspoon/The Shed), "Second Skin: MONSTER" (Magnus Works/Judson Memorial Church), and so much more. Synead was most recently awarded the New York City Trust Van Lier Fellowship and is an apprentice with Urban Bush Women. She is currently in pre-production for "Priestess of Twerk" created by Nia O. Witherspoon set to premiere this spring at The Space at Irondale Brooklyn. She is continuously inspired to create boundary-breaking art that challenges societal norms and inspires others to cultivate change in their inner worlds in hopes that it will create change in the world around us all.
