Episode 23: Simone Damberg Würtz
Update: 2024-04-16
Description
Born in Denmark and trained at the Royal Danish Ballet School, Simone Damberg Würtz danced with the Ballet Ensemble of Theatre Ulm and Peter Schaufuss Balletten before joining the renowned London-based contemporary dance company Rambert in 2013. Since joining Rambert, she’s worked with countless choreographers, and has particularly enjoyed working with the likes of Kim Brandstrup, Didy Veldman, Christopher Bruce, Sharon Eyal, Jo Strømgren, Marion Motin, Imre Van Opstal, Marne Van Opstal, and Wim Vandekeybus. Recently, she danced the role of Aunt Pol in current artistic director Benoit Swan Pouffer’s ‘Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby’, a stage reimagining of the Birmingham-based hit television show.
Outside of performing, Simone enjoys choreographing, and founded The Playground, a free, monthly creative platform for professional artists supported and held at Rambert’s studios.
Last year, Simone celebrated her ten year anniversary with Rambert. To mark this milestone, I couldn’t wait to speak to her about how she’s seen the company evolve over the past 10 years, her personal highlights, career longevity in dance, and which female dance pioneer from the past she’d most like to speak to.
