Scynthia Charles is a Boston-based higher education administrator and passionate performing artist. Her Haitian upbringing inspired a love for language, culture, music, and movement that has shaped a lifelong relationship with dance. Her professional journey began in 2017 with the ICA’s Skeleton Architecture residency and has since included collaborations with diverse companies such as Abilities Dance Boston, Ammaya Dance and Drum, and Afrobeats Dance Boston.
She began building her foundation in traditional West African and African diasporic dance in 2019 when she began dancing with Papa Sy in his company PaSy Nay Leer. Since then Scynthia has trained extensively under master teachers such as Joh Camara, Seydou Coulibaly and Aziz Mbengue. She has also broadened her practice through contemporary and modern styles straining with Nailah Randall-Bellinger, Joanne Caidor and Makeda Wallace. She is deeply committed to expanding her dance vocabulary and deepening her understanding of movement, consistently seeking out opportunities to explore the capabilities and expressive potential of the human body.
