In 2021 Cydney completed a research and development period  funded by a ‘Developing Your Creative Practice’ grant from the Arts Council England. This provided the opportunity to investigate Biomechanics, Kinesiology and a wide range of physical disciplines in order to both inform her artistic voice, and to develop an approach to movement that encourages a safe and sustainable performance practice.

Cydney has explored physical training programs with Ido Portal, Fighting Monkey,  Evolve Move Play, The Running School (London) & Anatomy in Motion.  

Cydney is a certified FRCms (Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist).

'Functional Range Conditioning (FRC®), is a system of joint health optimization based on scientific principals and research.'

'There are three main training-goals when utilizing the FRC® System...
Mobility Development

Body Control'

Cydney incorporates FRC® principals into her teaching, movement coaching, and choreography practice, to encourage a safe and sustainable approach to movement. ​
