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 different short sketches involves a range of dance and sound artists and produces a patchwork aesthetic over time.

Examples of older works
TRAFFIC (2011) / watch here
Created by Stephanie Schober with accordionist Camilla Barratt-Due, performers Keir Patrick and Lise Manavit and lighting designer Jackie Shemesh. In this minimalist work the three performers explore mathematical rules as a way to create and share one common composition. New patterns emerge and repeat, in which sounds and movements are interwoven in surprising and unpredictable ways. Watch extracts here: Studio Duet, Black box Trio |
Between Sound & Silence (triple bill)
NEWLY (2007) / watch here &
THE ACCOMPANISTS (2007) Created by Stephanie Schober with performers Elisabetta d'Aloia and Juraj Korec, with composer Matteo Fargion and lighting designer Estelle Rickelton. In these two short works the performers use their voices to accompany their own and each other's movements. Rigorous repetitive patterns create a choreographic framework, one in which the the dancers explore rawness, humor and exhaustion. CATCH (2005) Created by Stephanie Schober with performer Katsura Isobe, composer John Marc Gowans and lighting designer Suzy Hardy. Katsura Isobe and Stephanie Schober create self-portraits, in which the expressive potential of personal gesture and movement are explored. As their individuality gains presence on stage the quiet and intimate relationship between the two women becomes tangible. A recording of their voices gradually mutates. It highlights subtle nuances within the distinctive tone of a human voice. It creates a sound-scape that invites the viewer closer into the detail of the performers' physical interactions.
