WHEN THE PRINCE DANCED WITH THE COACHMAN (SINCE 2018)
This ongoing project is directed and choreographed by Stephanie Schober with the complicity of collaborating artists. Situated in virtual and physical spaces it is driven by the search for possibilities of emancipation, liveliness and intimacy within performance contexts. It is an invitation to be present in ways that interrupt everyday experiences. In the desire to unite multiple perspectives and contradictions the series of sketches produces a patchwork aesthetic over time.

when the prince danced with the coachman (2020)
Research & development with Joshua Hubbard & Stephen Moynihan, exploring Ronald M Schernikau's poetic writings. The writing proposes a different way of looking, from the outside in, and to embrace new perspectives on what appears so familiar. Rich in descriptive details of gestures and movements, words change as people are talking with their mouth full. The image and expressivity of the body are central. This project is an attempt to translate and process some of his writings, literally, as well as from text to dance. |

it's really bright and summer (2020)
The performers explore the physical and audio space between and around them, which is shared with family members, pets and strangers. Meeting online daily over three weeks, the spontaneous group performances in domestic settings were captured in simple zoom recordings. With a low-key/ DIY approach to editing, sections were re-ordered retrospectively, aiming to create a textured cinematic experience whilst still maintaining the atmosphere of a live event. Created with and performed by the BA3 dance students at TrinityLaban, this choreography by Stephanie Schober includes an original soundscore by Rubie Green. |
