she/her, is a Danish/Norwegian dancer and choreographer currently based in Hamburg, Germany. She is a graduate of the Contemporary Dance School Hamburg and works across performance, choreography and research. Her artistic practice reflects both a need and a search for connection, critical reflection and embodied exploration. She has performed and shared work in Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Currently, Simone is developing her choreographic research GRIND, which first took shape during the Spring Break Residency at K3 – Centre for Choreography | Tanzplan Hamburg. It investigates and questions the emotional and physical states and traces of being “on the grind” - the persistent state of hard-working bodies under systems where rest and care are often swallowed by grind culture. GRIND seeks to explore how these traces translates in movement and choreography, it searches for the interrelatedness in a duet as we navigate our shared experiences and asks how we might remind each other to reclaim our bodies as spaces for autonomy and care.

Simone is interested in exchanging with others about our relationship to grind culture, care, and rest – and how different perspectives might shape us and can inform or challenge our own.
