hey, y'all!

I’m Sydney Sinclair!

I’m an actor, director, intimacy choreographer, and coach based in DC + NYC and I believe theatre is one of the most radically human things we’ve got.

I grew up in Dallas, Texas, in a house full of loud voices and big feelings. But it wasn’t until I stepped onstage that I realized I could turn all that feeling into something true. Something that could reach across the lights and land in someone else’s heart.

That’s what I love most about theatre: its power to connect, heal, and transform. Whether I’m performing, directing, guiding intimacy work, or coaching actors, I lead with empathy, curiosity, and a fierce belief in the bravery of vulnerability.

Onstage, I aim to make space for truth, vulnerability, and big, bold choices. And whether I’m directing, choreographing intimacy, or coaching, that same belief carries through: that the best art happens when we lead with heart, not ego… when we hold space for brave risks… when the room feels like home.

For me, being human is the bravest art, and theatre is how we practice it.

When I’m not making theatre, you’ll probably find me dancing around my kitchen, writing half-finished poems, at pilates, or hanging with my cat Pebbles (unofficial assistant director of my life).

If you’re looking for an artist who brings rigor and heart, who makes space for joy, truth, and transformation, I’d love to connect.

I trained at Oklahoma City University (BFA Acting, Directing minor) and worked as Theatre Academy Manager at Virginia Children’s Theatre, where I helped young artists take bold creative risks in a space built on care and trust. I’m now pursuing my MFA in Classical Acting at George Washington University with the Shakespeare Theatre Company, exploring the timelessness of story with fresh eyes and an open heart.

But beyond degrees and titles, here’s what matters most:

I’m an actor who leads with heart: who steps into every role with fierce empathy, emotional honesty, and a deep belief in the power of story to heal and connect.
