Stephanie Schober's creative process involves a wide range of artists and different community groups. It is an invitation to challenge habitual roles, to explore the individual performers' physicality and to discover new and surprising common grounds between people. Cross-art collaboration is central to this facilitating a dialogue between movement and other artistic means of expression. The aim is to uncover a language for each work and to allow it to change form, expand in scale and travel across different surfaces.
