Simerson & Co. is a unique company of world-class dancers and musicians founded in 2014 by Brian Simerson, a twenty-year veteran of MOMIX and Erick Hawkins Dance Company and a distinguished graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. The company blends contemporary and classical dance, music, lighting and costume design to produce an intoxicating live experience. Brian’s work has been hailed as “mesmerizing,” “uniquely stylistic,” “inventive” and “compelling.” Brian cultivates Renaissance-style artists, training in dance, music, design, composition and direction, who consistently deliver gripping performances of exceptional quality, while embodying the company’s core values of mutual support, respect, collaboration and trust in the work. Simerson & Co.'s work incorporates the type of multidisciplinary elements that first took hold during the Renaissance, when prominent artists began to challenge traditional limitations and create three-dimensional perspective. Brian takes this one step further by incorporating the fourth dimension—the audience’s perspective. In addition, Brian also believes in the importance of live music for dance and strives to incorporate this into every performance.
