She has dedicated her life to two careers, teaching students with Visual Impairments, and freelance dancing. Throughout her career, she has danced with companies like Of Moving Colors in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Tennessee Ballet Theater in Memphis, Tennessee that aim to bring people’s life stories to the stage and community.

Then, while in Boston pursuing a graduate degree in public health, she fortuitously tried an improvisational dance class. From the first wiggly roll across the floor, she knew she was in love. Rather than focusing on the pursuit of technical mastery, she could explore movement for the sake of curiosity and authenticity, collaborating with other people eager to create unpredictable things together. Her devotion to improvisational movement and composition grew, along with her belief in the insight of a favorite instructor, that you should approach movement to be interested, not to be interesting. Olivia’s deepest interest is in how people move and express themselves physically, especially when they don't think they can “dance.” With that foundation, she went on to teach workshops with the Movement Arts Collaborative in South Carolina and has been an avid learner of many dance styles. Now, living, working, and dancing in St. Petersburg, she’s convinced she wasn’t put on earth to be exceptionally good at things, just to love doing them. Hopefully, she can model and expand opportunities where others will feel that way too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/203053f6-e58d-40be-b3b2-23cad726ba2e/e3ab6b4ead544dcc7286365d064501fa.jpg Momentum: Choreographic Mentorship - Sydney Lemelin Sydney Lemelin was born in California under a libra moon.

Momentum is a five-month artistic mentorship (May 1 – September 28) developed in collaboration with The Dalí Museum. This program supports choreographers at any stage of their career in creating research-driven, process-centered performance work. Inspired by Dalí in America and artistic movements such as Surrealism and Happenings, artists are invited to propose bold ideas that can evolve through exploration and experimentation. While artists may use the framework of a “Happening” as inspiration—ephemeral, site-responsive, interdisciplinary—the concept remains intentionally open. Proposed works are expected to grow, shift, and transform throughout the mentorship process. The program culminates in the Momentum Choreographers Showcase this fall.

Then, while in Boston pursuing a graduate degree in public health, she fortuitously tried an improvisational dance class. From the first wiggly roll across the floor, she knew she was in love. Rather than focusing on the pursuit of technical mastery, she could explore movement for the sake of curiosity and authenticity, collaborating with other people eager to create unpredictable things together. Her devotion to improvisational movement and composition grew, along with her belief in the insight of a favorite instructor, that you should approach movement to be interested, not to be interesting. Olivia’s deepest interest is in how people move and express themselves physically, especially when they don't think they can “dance.” With that foundation, she went on to teach workshops with the Movement Arts Collaborative in South Carolina and has been an avid learner of many dance styles. Now, living, working, and dancing in St. Petersburg, she’s convinced she wasn’t put on earth to be exceptionally good at things, just to love doing them. Hopefully, she can model and expand opportunities where others will feel that way too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/203053f6-e58d-40be-b3b2-23cad726ba2e/e3ab6b4ead544dcc7286365d064501fa.jpg Momentum: Choreographic Mentorship - Sydney Lemelin Sydney Lemelin was born in California under a libra moon.

All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story, to vomit the anguish up.” —James Baldwin During this brief time together, you will be a witness to four confession of self. Change. Survival. Reflection. Magic. You are now apart of the journey of these powerful women, all of whom I look up to and have forever changed me. The last five month has been a whirlwind or long discussions, trial and error (and trial again), moments of failure, and transformative self revelations. Emily Goonan. Deisha King. Shannon Smyth. Kayla Gupta. Thank you all for honor of being your mentor for the past several months. You have taught me so much. And to you, our guests, I am beyond thrilled to have you in the space with us. Thank you for your support. Enjoy and be a witness. - Alexander Jones, Artistic Director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/1633184075974-U2I3GS0QDTOJOHHR2OXV/C0DD56F2-455A-4463-B600-CCF9E8F1C916.JPG Momentum Showcase 2021 - Support ProjectALCHEMY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/1633127944130-1BBHNIXDKIM7YIJMNR94/Copy+of+momentum+flyer.jpeg Momentum Showcase 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/1633128967635-4FI0RZA8G3G8UDAX6L09/P1016672.JPG Momentum Showcase 2021 - On a Scale from 1 - 10, How Are You Feeling Today?

All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story, to vomit the anguish up.” —James Baldwin During this brief time together, you will be a witness to four confession of self. Change. Survival. Reflection. Magic. You are now apart of the journey of these powerful women, all of whom I look up to and have forever changed me. The last five month has been a whirlwind or long discussions, trial and error (and trial again), moments of failure, and transformative self revelations. Emily Goonan. Deisha King. Shannon Smyth. Kayla Gupta. Thank you all for honor of being your mentor for the past several months. You have taught me so much. And to you, our guests, I am beyond thrilled to have you in the space with us. Thank you for your support. Enjoy and be a witness. - Alexander Jones, Artistic Director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/1633184075974-U2I3GS0QDTOJOHHR2OXV/C0DD56F2-455A-4463-B600-CCF9E8F1C916.JPG Momentum Showcase 2021 - Support ProjectALCHEMY https://www.projectalchemy.dance/dancebreak daily 0.75 2025-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/be90b10f-3abe-4b4f-ad18-4fc2aa604a8d/dancebreak-project-alchemy.jpg DanceBreak https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/72cce61f-48f1-45da-93f0-7201a65154dd/Sunshine-Logo-1-1.png DanceBreak - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/1635636478559-788O41MKDLKQDV1G2JM7/191113000_1143268952822018_326819036175856146_n.jpg DanceBreak - [Break 2]Homage to PRIDE, Juneteenth & Upcoming Performances Host Nanette Wiser was thrilled to preview the 2025-2026 season and share an insightful talk about dance, life, transformation and resilience through art and dance.

She has been dancing since the age of 5 and has studied in ballet, modern, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical and musical theater. She was introduced to the art of choreography at the age of 14 and has gotten lots of recognition from her pieces and projects. The art of dance became her passion and decided to go to high school and learn more about it, starting her high school experience in dance major in 2018. She has trained in ballet, contemporary and modern dance for the last 4 years, and while at school, she has been introduced more into the choreography world. Ambar created her first project as freshman, in high school, and ever since, every year she has been involved in projects collaborating and choreographing for musical shows, teachers, other students and for her own performances. Also gaining other people’s trust with her work, she has been involved in choreographing for main stage performances for non dance majors. Ambar was a student choreographer for her school's entry for the Florida Dance Performance Assessment (FDPA) and the performance has won a superior ranking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/b0dd1756-858a-43c0-a35b-6eb2e7249359/Screen+Shot+2022-09-19+at+10.24.53+AM.jpeg Momentum 2022 Program - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/8fdf5670-a026-4f16-a2cb-74f333ba3c1d/Screen+Shot+2022-09-19+at+10.24.58+AM.jpeg Momentum 2022 Program - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/56d1f0b8-006f-45b2-b84e-c66b071c8880/tempImageVpwg2Q.jpg Momentum 2022 Program - projectALCHEMY presents MIXed A House Party meets Dance Concert Featuring works by Emily Curry Heidi Brewer Evan Smith Kirsten Standridge and more November 4th and 5th @7p The Studio@620 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/be819f09-8310-4886-97c4-9977cd17f480/IMG_1215.PNG Momentum 2022 Program - 2022 Momentum Choreographic Showcase Featuring works by Ambar Cesari, Khasilan, Kinsey Vaughen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/dabc98a8-dac1-48db-a73c-1409d0492314/IMG_1231.PNG Momentum 2022 Program - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/9ce93869-c574-4c55-a223-a8c45e69fd03/IMG_1232.PNG Momentum 2022 Program - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/8611e24c-4063-4cf2-9a06-25b630d8e8e6/IMG_1233.PNG Momentum 2022 Program - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/7e11f7ce-1620-450c-92a8-6abd77f0bbfd/IMG_2048.jpeg Momentum 2022 Program - Kinsey Vaughen Kinsey Vaughen is a current senior at Florida Southern College with a major in dance performance and choreography and a minor in exercise science.

Originally a solo improvisational dancer, he extended his reach branch by branch to incorporate various styles, mediums, and inspiration into his realm as an artist. He combines multiple dance styles with storytelling via screenwriting, acting, sound design, and effects to bring his inner world outwards. His themes intuitively explore the duality and dichotomy of the boundless human experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/8975f225-771d-4c38-956f-ff1a057770b5/IMG_1618.jpeg Momentum 2022 Program - Ambar Cesari Ambar Cesari is currently a Senior student and will be graduating from Osceola County School for the Arts (OCSA) in spring of 2022.

She has always had multiple creative interests, beginning with art at a young age and starting her dance training at the age of 10 at Dancers Dreams Dance Studio in Pasadena, MD. She is currently pursuing a B.F.A. in Studio Art with a minor in Psychology at The University of Tampa and is on track to graduate in May of 2023. She primarily works in the medium of paint but enjoys combining photography and dance into her work. Her current body of work explores the realm of kinesthetic identity through the consequences of fabric material and movement. Delaney has exhibited work at the University of Tampa's Annual Undergraduate Juried Exhibition in both 2021 and 2022, receiving an honorable mention award in 2021. She has also exhibited in the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art's Undergraduate Juried Exhibition in St. Joseph, Missouri in 2022. Additionally, she received the 2023 Gasparilla Festival of the Arts Board of Directors Collegiate Scholarship. She has long-term goals of sharing her passion for communication between visual arts and dance with others, as well as continuing to create interdisciplinary work with dancers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/d67ac770-6e7b-43fd-8089-078c6c61b980/IMG_4336+2.jpg Momentum 2023 Program - Olivia London Olivia has danced since her childhood in Jacksonville, FL when her grandmother wisely remarked, “she’ll never be a prima ballerina, but she’d make a great showgirl.” Despite that early confidence booster and a memorable high school performance of “Hey Big Spender,” Olivia danced less frequently beyond her teens. Then, while in Boston pursuing a graduate degree in public health, she fortuitously tried an improvisational dance class. From the first wiggly roll across the floor, she knew she was in love. Rather than focusing on the pursuit of technical mastery, she could explore movement for the sake of curiosity and authenticity, collaborating with other people eager to create unpredictable things together. Her devotion to improvisational movement and composition grew, along with her belief in the insight of a favorite instructor, that you should approach movement to be interested, not to be interesting. Olivia’s deepest interest is in how people move and express themselves physically, especially when they don't think they can “dance.” With that foundation, she went on to teach workshops with the Movement Arts Collaborative in South Carolina and has been an avid learner of many dance styles. Now, living, working, and dancing in St. Petersburg, she’s convinced she wasn’t put on earth to be exceptionally good at things, just to love doing them. Hopefully, she can model and expand opportunities where others will feel that way too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/9267f188-a4d3-4836-a329-0233c6ef61a0/IMG_7789.jpg Momentum 2023 Program - Sydney Lemelin Sydney Lemelin was born in California under a libra moon.

She has always had multiple creative interests, beginning with art at a young age and starting her dance training at the age of 10 at Dancers Dreams Dance Studio in Pasadena, MD. She is currently pursuing a B.F.A. in Studio Art with a minor in Psychology at The University of Tampa and is on track to graduate in May of 2023. She primarily works in the medium of paint but enjoys combining photography and dance into her work. Her current body of work explores the realm of kinesthetic identity through the consequences of fabric material and movement. Delaney has exhibited work at the University of Tampa's Annual Undergraduate Juried Exhibition in both 2021 and 2022, receiving an honorable mention award in 2021. She has also exhibited in the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art's Undergraduate Juried Exhibition in St. Joseph, Missouri in 2022. Additionally, she received the 2023 Gasparilla Festival of the Arts Board of Directors Collegiate Scholarship. She has long-term goals of sharing her passion for communication between visual arts and dance with others, as well as continuing to create interdisciplinary work with dancers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/d67ac770-6e7b-43fd-8089-078c6c61b980/IMG_4336+2.jpg Momentum 2023 Program - Olivia London Olivia has danced since her childhood in Jacksonville, FL when her grandmother wisely remarked, “she’ll never be a prima ballerina, but she’d make a great showgirl.” Despite that early confidence booster and a memorable high school performance of “Hey Big Spender,” Olivia danced less frequently beyond her teens. Then, while in Boston pursuing a graduate degree in public health, she fortuitously tried an improvisational dance class. From the first wiggly roll across the floor, she knew she was in love. Rather than focusing on the pursuit of technical mastery, she could explore movement for the sake of curiosity and authenticity, collaborating with other people eager to create unpredictable things together. Her devotion to improvisational movement and composition grew, along with her belief in the insight of a favorite instructor, that you should approach movement to be interested, not to be interesting. Olivia’s deepest interest is in how people move and express themselves physically, especially when they don't think they can “dance.” With that foundation, she went on to teach workshops with the Movement Arts Collaborative in South Carolina and has been an avid learner of many dance styles. Now, living, working, and dancing in St. Petersburg, she’s convinced she wasn’t put on earth to be exceptionally good at things, just to love doing them. Hopefully, she can model and expand opportunities where others will feel that way too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/9267f188-a4d3-4836-a329-0233c6ef61a0/IMG_7789.jpg Momentum 2023 Program - Sydney Lemelin Sydney Lemelin was born in California under a libra moon.

Raised in Southern California, he studied acting at Loyola Marymount University before pursuing graduate studies at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. His career took him across the country as an actor and director, with Los Angeles serving as his home base for much of that time. A prolific playwright, Jones has penned more than a dozen plays, including *Uncle Bends: A Home-Cooked Negro Narrative*, which premiered in 1995 with the Sacramento Theater Company and has since been performed nationally and internationally. The play uses food as a metaphor to examine racial stereotypes and the resilience of African Americans throughout history. In 2001, he wrote *Manhattan Casino*, a musical chronicling the legacy of a historic St. Petersburg music hall that once hosted legendary Black musicians like Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie. His works have been featured at American Stage and the LiveArts Peninsula Foundation, and he has directed numerous productions nationwide, including *The Black Nativity*, *Smokey Joe's Cafe*, and *Gem of the Ocean*. Jones first visited St. Petersburg in 1997 to direct a Harlem Renaissance-inspired production of *Miss Julie*. Captivated by the city and its artistic spirit, he decided to make it his home, eventually co-founding **The Studio@620** in 2004 with David Ellis. Under his leadership as co-artistic director, The Studio@620 became a hub for artistic expression, fostering a culture where the answer was always “yes” to creative ideas. The venue has hosted an array of events, from poetry readings by Yevgeny Yevtushenko to discussions with historian John Hope Franklin, as well as Shakespeare productions, visual arts exhibitions, and literary series featuring renowned authors. The space received recognition in *The New York Times* and numerous local awards for its contributions to arts programming and community engagement. Now retired from The Studio@620, Jones remains a vital presence in St. Petersburg’s cultural scene. A mentor to young directors, writers, and visual artists, he continues to uplift the next generation of creatives. Whether through his storytelling, directing, or his signature chocolate chip cookies, Bob Devin Jones remains a pillar of the community and a true man about the arts in St. Pete. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/67f13988-8cf5-45ff-b3e0-b471dfe91720/6d720bae56f7b4edede3792502276f66.jpeg With Love, Program - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/1724509140552-R358COEBGPY2J4SXMGAN/60847af62f669006cd58d9bf31c1ac6b.jpeg With Love, Program - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/1723401931505-R57IY0TMUIFESYXD8RC9/366ab7304e5078530ba210e3a2e64061.jpeg With Love, Program - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/98b1ef70-2778-4382-998c-9f213711fb69/900-13.jpeg With Love, Program - projectALCHEMY merch Support projectALCHEMY by shopping our artist-designed merchandise.

The venue has hosted an array of events, from poetry readings by Yevgeny Yevtushenko to discussions with historian John Hope Franklin, as well as Shakespeare productions, visual arts exhibitions, and literary series featuring renowned authors. The space received recognition in *The New York Times* and numerous local awards for its contributions to arts programming and community engagement. Now retired from The Studio@620, Jones remains a vital presence in St. Petersburg’s cultural scene. A mentor to young directors, writers, and visual artists, he continues to uplift the next generation of creatives. Whether through his storytelling, directing, or his signature chocolate chip cookies, Bob Devin Jones remains a pillar of the community and a true man about the arts in St. Pete. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/649fc316-9011-41fd-8707-aa64802928da/76ac8816a893a14d78e806b366313eb3.jpg With Love, Program - alexander jones - founder. executive artist director Alexander Jones, founder and executive artistic director of the downtown St. Pete international nonprofit dance+ company projectALCHEMY, is a graduate of University of South Florida, recent MFA graduate Hollins University studying dance.

We believe that dance is not confined to the walls of a studio or theater—it belongs in the streets, in our parks, in conversation, and in community. These values guide our work as we seek to expand what dance can be, who it is for, and how it can impact the world around us. Operating as a nonprofit international dance+ platform based in St. Petersburg, Florida, the mission is clear: engage the dance community and local audiences through immersive interdisciplinary performance, affordable movement classes, and artist development opportunities. The talent of this vibrant creative ecosystem is shared both in person and online, sparking exchange with dance communities around the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/1606834134001-RED3MBYO1KYM1HT59CEE/dsc04145+2.JPG about - Local, Regional, Global Listening The work lives inside an improvisational framework of local, regional, and global listening—a way of responding in motion. This approach shapes not only the choreography, but how relationships are built, how performances are crafted, and how community is formed. Local listening is rooted in the neighborhoods, artists, and audiences of St. Petersburg, where site-specific works and responsive programming deepen connection and invite participation. Regional listening expands throughout Tampa Bay, Central Florida, and the Southeast—forming networks of artistic exchange and opportunities for collaboration beyond city limits. Global listening activates through international dialogue, digital sharing, and borderless imagination—positioning local artistry within a broader world of movement-making. This layered approach creates a feedback loop between the body and the world—a continual exchange that fuels innovation, empathy, and transformation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/80179da4-a847-4666-a328-f979fe68759e/ajones_jazztheory_denzel.jpg about - Our Values Our core values—Create, Collaborate, and Transform—are not just ideals; they are the foundation of how we move through the world, both literally and figuratively.

Then, while in Boston pursuing a graduate degree in public health, she fortuitously tried an improvisational dance class. From the first wiggly roll across the floor, she knew she was in love. Rather than focusing on the pursuit of technical mastery, she could explore movement for the sake of curiosity and authenticity, collaborating with other people eager to create unpredictable and often unusual things together. Her devotion to improvisational movement and composition grew, along with her belief in the insight of a favorite instructor, that you should approach movement to be interested, not to be interesting. Olivia’s deepest interest is in how people move and express themselves physically, especially when they don’t think they can “dance.” With that foundation, she went on to teach workshops with the Movement Arts Collaborative in South Carolina and has been an avid learner of many dance styles. Now, living, working, and dancing in St. Petersburg, she’s convinced she wasn’t put on earth to be exceptionally good at things, just to love doing them. Hopefully, she can model and expand opportunities where others will feel that way too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/b34ad59d-1b29-40ea-833b-6e733767cdae/Antonio+Hernandez+-+Antonio+Hernandez.jpeg teaching artist roster - Antonio Hernandez (Copy) Antonio Hernandez Antonio Hernandez is from Fort Myers, Florida.

Her creative journey has taken her from performances and exhibitions across Florida, New York City, Michigan, California, Paris, to Vietnam. Commissioned for choreographic work throughout central Florida, Lehmker currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Instruction at the University of South Florida while passionately continuing her creative endeavors and teachings in the region. In her exploration of the intricate intersections of memory, perception, locale, and identity through dance, Sadie Lehmker’s Creative Fellowship project employs a practice-based research approach. She poses probing questions about human identity and spatial occupation, delving into the connections between memory, place, and female identity. Lehmker’s choreographic aesthetic focuses on physicality, repetition, retrograde, and stillness, allowing each dancer to interpret movement individually. Investigating perceived, constructed, and false self-narratives, she navigates the dialogue between self-described and externally imposed identities, probing moments of precedence and questioning the negation of perceived truths. Through dance, Lehmker aims to embody the contradictions and clashes inherent in identity, disseminating her research through choreographic performances, dance films, conference submissions, lectures, and artist talks to engage audiences with the evolving nature of identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba7a4bac46f6d036e3cca11/1737997018358-3QJYV1IP4O9PL1B43EC4/Marshall+Garcia.jpg teaching artist roster - Marshall Garcia (Copy) Marshall Garcia Since beginning their competitive dance journey at the age of 5, Marshall has spent over 10 years in the industry.
