Salvatore De Simone
FROM WAYNE MCGREGOR
Salvatore De Simone, Italian dancer and choreographer born in Calabria, began his artistic training at the Teatro Carcano School in Milan, where he developed a solid technical foundation and a deep passion for contemporary dance. He worked with numerous companies and projects in Italy, standing out for his versatility and creative approach to performance. In Germany, he collaborated with Deutsche Tanzkompanie, choreographing and performing in various productions, while also freelancing in Berlin’s vibrant dance scene.
In 2021, he was selected for the Biennale Danza College in Venice, where he had the opportunity to perform works by two icons of contemporary dance: Crystal Pite and Wayne McGregor. This experience enriched his artistic language and prepared him to join the prestigious Company Wayne McGregor in London later that year. There, he explored the interaction between dance and technology, contributing to experimental performances and working with innovative tools such as AISOMA.
Alongside his performing career, Salvatore is passionately dedicated to teaching. He has conducted workshops for Company Wayne McGregor at the Royal Ballet, Biennale Danza, Montpellier Dance etc, sharing his expertise and love for choreography with new generations of dancers. As a choreographer, he has created works that merge physical energy and conceptual research, exemplified by his projects for Deutsche Tanzkompanie and his upcoming creation for the Resolution Festival in 2025.
Salvatore has performed on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, collaborating with the Royal Ballet and Roberto Bolle, and taking part in numerous high-profile international galas. His career is defined by a continuous artistic exploration and a desire to innovate, experimenting with new languages and choreographic approaches.
