25. Intersectional Cellist: Embodiment, Improvisation, and Trauma-Informed Music with Simone Seales

Simone Seales is a classically-trained cellist who is tired of playing music by dead white men. They focus on free improvisation (both tonal and atonal) and devising music for theatre. Simone is passionate about exploring sound and how sound can reflect emotional states of being and how emotions are embodied. Their creative influences come from Black feminist leaders such as Audre Lorde, Assata Shakur, and Angela Davis. Within their creative work, they centre Blackness, sexuality, intersectional feminism, and anti-racism.website: https://simoneseales.cominstagram: @simone.cello This is a public episode.
