Simone Forti is an American artist and choreographer born in 1935, central to postwar experimental performance and movement-based practice. Working across dance, sculpture, and installation, she developed a kinetic vocabulary that treats the body as material and space as a partner rather than a backdrop. Her practice refuses the separation between visual art and choreography, creating participatory environments where movement becomes sculptural.
