Sydona is a rope artist, movement practitioner, and photographer who uses her extensive training and performance experience in classical dance to inspire her ventures into experimental and experiential art of all forms.

Originally from San Diego, California, Sydona has been training and performing as a professional dancer since she was thirteen. Since completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Alvin Ailey/Fordham University in May of 2018, she has been performing in various nightlife around Brooklyn and New York City as a dancer, immersive performer, and rope artist.  She uses her extensive training and performance experience as a foundation for her ventures into immersive theater and experimental performance art. In the past six years she's performed at events (in no particular order) by House of Yes, House of X, House of Gemini and Scorpio, HAVEN, The Red Pavilion, The Box, Hit Me Up, Nuit Des Cordes, Folsom Street Fair, Dances of Vice and The Secret. In 2019 she co-built two 300 square foot installations at Industria and at Knockdown Center for events produced by Wizard Studios and in January of 2020, December of 2022, and December of 2024 she assisted Hajime Kinoko's large scale Shibari Web performances in NYC and San Francisco. She is currently HAVEN’s house rigger and a resident rope educator and facilitator at Temple and Hit Me Up.

Since March of 2020, Sydona has immersed herself in honing her rope practice and photography. The past three years specifically she’s focused on finding as many opportunities for advanced Shibari education as possible, including workshops with Hajime Kinoko, Soptik, Ropunawa, Tamandua, RopeTales, Murasaki Haruan, and Yagami Ren, as well as 30+ hours of private tuition with RopeTales in Milan, Italy.

She currently works full time as a freelance nightlife performer, bondage artist, photographer, and creator. In this time she has traveled both within the U.S. and internationally for rope opportunities, as a performer, as an educator, and as a student.

Sydona is available to hire for performances, demos, photoshoots, installations, and private rope sessions.
