Symoné is a queer movement and performance artist based in the U.K from Washington D.C.. Her work shifts between cabaret, club and theatre work, fusing her movement based skills, such as high heel roller skates with hula hoops, pole dance, and voguing. Her roots into performing stemmed from underground raves and often these themes appear in her work. Alongside movement, her work inspiration stems from her writing, experiences and research around consciousness, celebration, and ritual. She has travelled internationally working in 10 different countries with clients such as La Soirée, Jon Hopkins, Omi, Samsung, and Paul Smith. She has had editorial features in Time Out, Instagram, QX Magazine, Diva and The Stage. Symoné is a Guinness world record holder and always has something new up her sleeve to create a sensation.
