ABOUT

I’m Syd– a trans dancer, actor, choreographer, and drag king based in NYC known for dynamic theatricality and precision.

I’ve created and performed work in immersive theater, concert dance, musical theater, dance film, and nightlife in LA, San Francisco, and New York. I’m an ongoing collaborator with Detour Productions in San Francisco, with recent projects including Pompeii, The Twilight Aristocracy, and We Build Houses Here. As my drag persona, Les B. Frank, I’ve performed with Clutch The Pearls, PRINCESS at Oasis, on KQED Live, and on other stages across the Bay Area and Brooklyn.

Growing up in Houston, TX, my training focused on dance, and originally, competitive gymnastics. I earned B.A.s in Dance and Graphic Design from Loyola Marymount University, studied at the San Francisco Conservatory of Dance, and have further expanded my skills in acting, singing, mime, drag, and burlesque as my career’s grown.
