Simone Forti
Simone Forti (born 1935) is an American postmodern choreographer and musician of Italian origins. Throughout her career she became known for a style of dancing and choreography that was largely based on basic everyday movements, such as games and children's playground activities, and improvisation. She danced with many well known choreographers representing various styles of dance. Some of these include Anna Halprin, Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham, Trisha Brown and Robert Whitman. In addition to dancing, she has written a book, multiple articles and won several awards. Musically she collaborated with avante-garde composers and performers including La Monte Young, Richard Maxfield, Charlemagne Palestine, Terry Riley, and Yoko Ono.
==Background and career==
Simone Forti was born in Florence, Italy in 1935. In the early 1940s, her Jewish family moved to the United States to escape persecution. She grew up in Los Angeles, where she attended Reed College. However, she then dropped out and moved with her husband, Robert Morris, to San Francisco in 1956 where she trained with Anna Halprin. Although she started dancing at the late age of 21, she found a niche there and continued to dance with Halprin and the "Dancer’s Workshop". In 1959 she moved to New York with Morris and began to study with Martha Graham and Merce Cunningham but neither of these styles matched her interests. During this time, she taught at a nursery school where she developed a fascination with the movement of children. In the fall of 1960, she joined a Cunningham studio composition class led by Robert Dunn which was geared towards exploration and improvisation. At this point, she began to create her own independent choreography. That Christmas Robert Whitman invited her to perform at the Reuben Gallery where she presented ''Rollers'' and ''See-Saw''.〔Forti (1974), pp. 35-36.〕 She then created ''Huddle'' which is now said to be a "seminal work and an ancestor to the improvisation genre of the 70’s known for naturalness and inevitability of her movement patterns and own performance style".〔Mann (1998), p. 285.〕
From 1962 to 1966 Forti was married to Robert Whitman and collaborated with him on his happenings. Some of these include ''Hole, Flower, Night Time sky, water, prune/flat''.〔 During this time she created no independent choreography. Once divorced, she began to create her own choreography again but with a focus on sound rather than movement.
In 1968, she performed in Rome and began to study animal movements. This resulted in her working in Turin with experimental theatre group, "The Zoo". After attending the "Festival of Music, Dance, Explosions, and Flight" and touring with Woodstock for a year starting in the summer of 1969, she returned to New York and studied singing with Pandit Pran Nath. Eventually she returned to California "where she occasionally substituted for Allen Kaprow at the California Institute of the Arts, leading open dance sessions called 'Open Gardenia'".〔 In 1974 her book, ''Handbook in Motion'', was published. Over the years she has taught and performed in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Austria, and Venezuela.〔Mann (1998), p. 283.〕
