23.01.2022 Meet Matt - husband, father and IT professional by day. He started singing lessons last year, primarily to improve his breathing. Singing is also something that he’s always thought of doing, but never had the time nor the confidence to pursue. Creep was the first song that Matt learned and sang in public (in one of the Parallax shows). His passionate performance inspired people in the audience to give singing a go. The best moment was seeing his young son, get up on stage wi...th him...bravely conquering fear and drawing strength from what his father had just achieved. Meet Roy, a 20-year old dancer from the streets of Caloocan, Philippines. He fell in love with dance at a young age but didn’t have any formal dance lessons until his teens. Now a scholar of the world renowned UP Filipiniana Dance Group, Roy takes every opportunity to nurture his craft and share his love of dance with a broader audience. To him, dance is his refuge. This has helped him deal with stress and anxiety heightened by the pandemic. Dance also helps him stay fit and healthy - both body and mind. Matt and Roy - two artists with different stories, two artists from different worlds, performing SIDE BY SIDE.

17.01.2022 One of the good things that came out of this pandemic is finding new ways of creating and performing. When the second stage of lockdown was announced, we thought of a project that would allow us to connect and create - 'Side by Side Project' was born. 'Side by Side' is a collaboration between artists from different parts of the world to connect, through song and dance.... Our first piece is a collaboration between The Tryards (from Hongkong) and Amie (one our Parallax private singing students).

17.01.2022 This Wednesday. 28th of October. We are back indoors. YAY! #excited #excitingtimes #weareback #cantwait

16.01.2022 Kat is from Geelong, just outside of Melbourne, Australia. The animal conservation enthusiast (who dreamt of being the next Suzi Quatro) was raised in Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and other rock classics, with splash of Ella Fitzgerald and Peggy Lee. She did a lot of jazz in high school until being an adult got in the way! She had just gone back to singing actively in the last 12 months and looks forward to creating more mash ups with her guitarist husband...while designing ch...ildren’s camp programs! From New York, USA are these 3 professional dance artists. Camille, 26, is currently exploring work in a historical/classical art museum and in law. Although able to successfully balance her artistic pursuits in tandem with her career, she would not mind a temporary departure from her current career path to do dance if the right performance opportunity comes along! Sam, 25, has been dancing for most of her life. The Digital Media and Advertising professional has always turned to dance to centre herself and reframe her approach to things. Currently, the choreographer of Continuum Dance Co in New York, she hopes to one day seamlessly mesh her career with her passion for dance. Nacho, 24, jokes that learning a couple of Tiktok dances gave him something to do during lockdown. Dancing from age 14, this triple threat is carving his path to Broadway. From Australia to New York four different artists, all with high calibre talent, all passionate about music and dance performing SIDE by SIDE.

14.01.2022 Charlotte, 13, from Australia is a big musical theatre fan. Early this year, despite having no previous musical theatre (nor audition) experience and armed only with her sharp skills and hopeful heart, she marched to her first ever musical theatre audition...and nailed it! She was awarded the role of Young Fiona in the Melbourne season of ‘Shrek the Musical’, where she got to sing with her idol Lucy Durack on stage! Shortly after, she bagged the coveted lead role of Mary for... Opera Australia’s ‘The Secret Garden’, where she was to play alongside the legendary Anthony Warlow, until the pandemic happened. This gamer, who loves creating her own music tracks, loves traveling with her family and lists Hamilton Island as one of her favourite places! Vince Denzel, 21, is from the urban streets of Quezon City, Philippines. Now a scholar of the elite UP Filipiniana Dance Group, he credits his folk dance roots for the way he manoeurvres his body. The powerful dancer loves to create pieces that are edgy, fun and not for the faint of heart. A triple threat who can belt out a mean tune and engage with his acting chops, he tirelessly upskills so that one day, he can create his own show...on Broadway. Charlotte and Vince Denzel, two different worlds, two different stories, one passion...performing SIDE BY SIDE.

12.01.2022 Meet Jake, 12, from Australia. This fun-loving sporty guy is famous for his classic ice breaker, ‘How are we?’. Although he asks this with a cheeky grin, he actually genuinely wants to know how you are. Our outgoing Jake started out as a shy little boy in hiphop class, happily minding his own business. In 2017, he joined Parallax’s song and dance group for boys, the Breakers. This was where he started to slowly come out of his shell. Now he is an absolute performer ready t...o sing, dance, act anytime, anywhere. Apart from Bruno Mars and Chris Pratt, he thinks the world of his mum and dad, who have instilled in him the value of working hardand also of laughing hard! Jan Christian, 20, is from the historical province of Bulacan, north of Metro Manila, Philippines. He discovered his passion for dance at an early age and explored it a bit more in high school. Now, he is a member of the highly regarded UP Filipiniana Dance Group. He likens dance to a breath of fresh air that allows him to remove toxicity and anxiety brought by the pandemic. Jake and Jan Christian two young artists both talented, both passionate, both big dreamers, both with bright futures ahead of themperforming SIDE BY SIDE.

This Sia-loving girl has an aptitude for drawing and also writes songs on the uke . She credits her creative mum for her writing ability and hopes to one day share her original songs with everyone. The Tryards ...- April, Kat and Vinia are from Hongkong.
