Simone Lorenzo Benini is a dancer/choreographer currently based in Vienna. He completed his dance studies at SEAD and regularly collaborates as a performer with Finnish dance artist Elina Pirinen. In his choreographic research, he explores movement and expression that bring forth ecstasy, vulnerability, despair, libido, fantasies, emotions, memories and everything that lies beneath the surface. He is currently supported by Italian institutions for emerging artists such as Anticorpi XL and Anghiari Dance Hub and is also an associated artist with AiEP, Milan.
