ARTISTIC POLICY
Stephanie Schober collaborates with individual performers and composers to explore the communicative potential of movement and sound. In her latest work she brings together musicians and dancers to investigate relationships between their physical actions, the use of musical instruments and the audiences’ experiences. Embracing a sophisticated and humorous sense of theatricality, her intention is to draw the viewer into the performers’ process of self-investigation, the exploration of group dynamics, the possibility of failure, and the accompanying feeling of trust and intimacy between them.
