A native of São Paulo, Brazil, Simone Ferro joined the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Department of Dance in 2001. After a professional career as soloist with dance companies in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Geneva, Switzerland, she completed graduate work in dance at the University of Iowa. Simone has collaborated extensively with local dance and theater companies (including the Milwaukee Ballet and the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre), and she has worked with many visual artists, musicians, filmmakers and writers to explore a wide variety of social themes and topics. She is recipient of several awards, including a UWM Graduate School Research Grant, an Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award, a Research Growth Initiative (RGI) grant, and a Choreographic Fellowship from the Wisconsin Arts Board. Her recent work, Fingerprint, is part of her research on Brazilian folk festivals and dramatic dances; it was previewed at Simone Ferro and Friends II concert at Danceworks Studio Theatre in Fall 2009. In October 2010, Simone will be collaborating with the Florentine Opera Company for the world premiere of Rio de Sangre by Don Davis.
