Simon Vincenzi è regista teatrale, coreografo e designer basato Londra. Le sue produzioni interdisciplinari sperimentano diversi dispositivi scenici e indagano la rappresentazione, attraverso la presenza, l'immagine, il suono e il linguaggio. Si sviluppano attraverso lunghi processi articolati in performance, installazioni, video e pagine web, interconnessi tra loro. Il suo lavoro indaga diversi paesaggi tra rappresentazione e assenza, attraverso l'esplorazione di memoria e oblio, coscienza e dissociazione del sé. Tramite queste manifestazioni, che spesso agiscono nell'inconscio, Vincenzi accompagna lo spettatore in un paesaggio incerto e sconosciuto. Con la compagnia Bock & Vincenzi, fondata nel 1999, ha presentato invisible dances… from afar: A show that will never be shown (2003), opera realizzata per essere fruita unicamente al telefono, e The Invisible Dances (2004-2006), opera teatrale in tre atti presentata al Royal Opera House Clore Theatre, Biennale di Venezia, Nott Dance International Festival, Kunstenfestivaldesarts Brussels, Laban Theatre di Londra. Dal 2007 ha dato vita al progetto pluriennale Operation Infinity coinvolgendo la compagnia teatrale Troupe Mabuse. Questo complesso lavoro interdisciplinare costituito da performance, installazioni e video include The Infinite Pleasures of The Great Unknown; Club Extinction; Luxuriant: In The Reign Of Anticipation e King Real Against The Guidelines. La documentazione dal vivo del progetto è permanentemente in vita sotto il nome di A Fugue State of Theatre Hosted On The Internet, on-line su www.operationinfinity.org. Vincenzi è impegnato col progetto a lungo termine The Exquisite Corpses (2020-25), e ha realizzato il progetto di live broadcast FROM THE DEAD AIR ORGY (prima serie: The Song of Silenus a Live Arts Week, Bologna 2019; seconda serie: On The Nature of Things, BAD HOUSE Festival Helsinki e Xing Hole Bologna, 2021); le performance The Quantum Ballet (2024), Despair (2024), Arcane Intermezzo (2024). Pubblicazioni recenti: Some Shadow Plays From The Cave (Condylura05, 2022). Tra le collaborazioni si segnala quella con Barokthgreat per le performance The Origin e Ghost, Follow my feet, weapons!. Attività di insegnamento e tutoraggio: Goldsmiths University, Laban / Trinity Laban, Central St Martins, Queen Mary University of London, Royal Central a Londra; Istituto di Ricerca di Arte Applicata Socìetas a Cesena; Università IUAV Venezia; training project Il Passo di Romeo Castellucci alla Triennale Milano.

Simon Vincenzi is a London based theatre director, choreographer and designer. His interdisciplinary work is often developed through long processes made up of interrelated performances, installations, videos and web pages. His work investigates different landscapes of representation and absence. Vincenzi investigates the interface of theatre, movement and visual languages often pushing the boundaries of expectation. Through an exploration of memory and oblivion, consciousness and the dissociation of the self, these different manifestations frequently tap into the unconscious, taking the audience/spectator into an uncertain and unknown landscape. With Bock & Vincenzi he presented invisible dances… from afar: A show that will never be shown (2003), a work made only to be experienced on the telephone, and The Invisible Dances (2004-2006), a theatre work in three acts presented at The Royal Opera House Clore Theatre, The Venice Theatre Biennale, Nott Dance International Festival, Kunstenfestivaldesarts Brussels, the Laban Theatre, London.
