Stephanie Schober's creative process involves a wide range of artists and different community groups. She enjoys bringing together groups of people to invest into a creative project. It is an invitation to challenge habitual roles and processes and to discover new and surprising common grounds between individuals. The boundaries between her performance, participation and research activities are often blurred, following similar lines of enquiry.
Her work is driven by her interest in working with individual performers to explore their specific physicality. Cross-art collaboration is central to this creative process. She seeks to facilitate a dialogue between the performer’s movement and other artistic means of expression, to uncover a language for each work and to allow it to change form, expand in scale and travel across different surfaces.
