Simonetta Alessandri, London. Her work is informed by more than 30 years of dancing, teaching and choreographing. She began with Ballet, Modern and Contemporary but now improvisational and somatic techniques frame her inquiry into dance. She choreographed for dance companies, student pieces, large scale opera, improvised performance, site specific and movement direction for theatre. She obtained the Post Graduated Diploma in Choreography at London Contemporary Dance School, the Teacher Certificate at R.A.D. and she is qualified teacher of the Feldenkrais ® Method.

He started teaching CI at London Contemporary Dance School in 2001, expanding his teaching range to now include composition, performance and voice/movement techniques. As a choreographer Nodine has made work for many contexts, including major Opera houses, small theatres, art galleries, text based theatre, touring dance companies and warehouse parties.
