Justine Simons

Before running London’s cultural programming over the last seven years at the London Mayor's Office, Justine’s background in modern dance for internationally acclaimed companies like The Place Theatre, Nottingham Playhouse and Greenwich led to consultancy at The Royal National Theatre, the board of Bonachela Dance Company, the GAIN Board Diversity Programme and the BBC Blast music and dance initiative. Justine is heavily involved in London's contribution to the Olympics in 2012 and, as such, engages with many of the world's important cultural and artistic institutions.

Justine arranged the collaboration between HiBROW and Raf Bonachela that resulted in HiBROW's coverage of the dance company's rehearsal process and their access to the extraordinary and unique staging over three days of The Land of Yes and the Land of No on the steps of London's St Paul's Cathedral.
