Artist Bio
Simone is a performing artist currently based in Southern California. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, she moved out west to attend Pomona College, fell in love with a little known artform called Corporeal Mime, and decided to relocate so that she could continue to study it in a more serious capacity. She studied with Thomas Leabhart, a student of Etienne Decroux, for 8 years-- eventually becoming a research assistant and helping with classes, workshops, and lecture demos.
After a 4 year stint teaching English in Japan, she has come back to Southern California and is doing children's programming and teaching in public schools with The dA Center for the Arts. In her spare time she is devising new performance work with friends & colleagues, keeping the corporeal mime tradition alive, and experimenting with new crafts.
Simone enjoys learning new skills, creative outlets of almost every variety, collaborative creation, quiet time, and not taking herself too seriously.
