Sydnie L. Mosley

Sydnie L. Mosley is an award-winning artist-activist, choreographer, director, producer, and writer, renowned for socially aware creative work with her dance-theater collective SLMDances.

Renegade Performance Group’s 2025 world premiere Against Gravity: Flying Afrikans + Other Urban Legends christened 651 ARTS’ brand-new performance space in downtown Brooklyn earlier this year as its first live performance. At the center of this work is the creative collaboration between André Zachery and Ayinde Jean-Baptiste, with Jean-Baptiste serving as an executive producer, co-director, and co-writer alongside Zachery.
