company BirdGang Ltd, known for redefining urban dance in theatre and film. Based in London, he works across film, theatre and live performance, bringing a cinematic eye and a dancer’s precision
to every project. From directing powerful stage productions to orchestrating movement on the big screen, Simeon’s visionary touch has redefined the boundaries of storytelling through motion.
Most recently, he stepped behind the camera as cinematographer for Coldplay’s video album Moon Music, a collaboration that solidifies his reputation as a top-tier innovator in the industry.
Simeon’s collaborations span A-list artists, global brands and leading cultural institutions. He has choreographed for music icon will.i.am, crafted performances with Ella Eyre, and designed movement for Dynamo the magician. He choreographed the BBC’s hit series The Dumping Ground
and the international TV show So You Think You Can Dance (UK and abroad), and appears as a judge on the globally celebrated The Next Step.
His commercial work includes major campaigns for JD Sports, Primark, Red Bull, Bose and Saatchi & Saatchi, while his theatrical and live credits span the O2 Arena, Sadler’s Wells, the Southbank
Centre, and the Young Vic.
He balances this high-profile creative output with a strong passion for documentary storytelling and narrative driven work as seen in works like Croydon Chronicles and
has a long-standing commitment to mentoring emerging talent.
Trained at Lewisham College, awarded a scholarship to Urdang Academy, and a graduate of London Contemporary Dance School (The Place), Simeon combines strong technical foundations with creative experimentation. His current projects include a new opera (Hansel & Gretel), the
