‘Maleficent’ Martini
My name is Simona Martini. I am a singer, performer, actress, dancer and model. I started ballet at the early age of 5 years old, and soon after joined the “Teatro Dell’Opera di Roma” school in Rome and then moved on to the “Royal Ballet School” in London. Studying with many famous ballet dancers and choreographers such as: Elisabetta Terabust Alexander Floris Zarcko Prebil Massimo Moricone Fabrizio Monteverde Tiit Harm Merle Park Jonathan Cope Lesley Collier Jay Jolley David Drew William Glassman Katerina Zvelibilova Valentina Moukhanova German Zamuel Anthony Dowel And since then I have started developing my own stage presence and technique. As amazing as the ballet world was, I wanted to explore a new platform, and different styles. And when I met Massimo Moricone and Sylvie Guillem and started developing my own unique blend of classical and contemporary dance. I have recently collaborated with Esinem to produce aerial ballet in ropes at Gotham Festival and Torture Garden.
