Camila Simonin acts in the entanglements between theater direction, movement studies, performance art and theory.  In her research, she has looked into kinds of social gatherings, communication between groups that do not share "a common ground" and how apparatuses for group formation can be created through artistic events. She is currently looking into the question "What happens to the idea of progress when we start moving backwards?" by proposing public actions in New York and also investigating authoritarian and far-right political movements in Brazil, her home country. She is currently an MA candidate at the Department of Performance Studies at New York University.
