context_page_description: Isabelle Schad is a German dancer and choreographer.
context_section_description: In 2007 Schad headed the mentoring project Tanztage Berlin. She also created Bach, for two dancers, which was taken into the repertoire of the Red House Sofia, and her solo Ohne Worte (Praticable). Since 2008 she has collaborated with Laurent Goldring on the project Unturtled #1–4. She also initiated community projects, including Tüddeldüddel-Lüd, in Hamburg, which was revived for the Tanzkongress 2009.
  In 2010 and 2011 she developed the group pieces Glazba (Praticable) and Musik (Praticable), each for 14 dancers, Communicare for 25 dancers in Lima, Experience # 0.1 for 20 dancers in Bogota and Experience # 0.2 for 10 dancers in Lagos. In 20011/12 she developed Experience # 0.3 for three Bulgarian dancers, a collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Sofia.
  In her choreographic group work Experience#1, Schad explored the connections between inward and outward embryonal development patterns in their space-time conditions. The piece was seen at the Tanznacht Berlin in August 2012 and at Serralves, Porto, in 2013. Schad developed a choreography for K3 in Hamburg as part of the project heute: Volkstanzen in 2013.
  2012 and 2013 saw the premieres of the solo projects Der Bau in Valenciennes and Form und Masse in Berlin. Der Bau, a collaboration with Laurent Goldring, has been on tour worldwide since then and was invited to the Tanzplattform 2014. Still Lives and an extract from Ohne Worte (Praticable) were invited to the Internationale Tanzplattform Deutschland in Hanover in 2008, and California Roll to the Tanzplattform in Stuttgart in 2006.
  In 2014 Schad choreographed the group piece Der Bau–Gruppe, for twelve performers, in collaboration with the Croatian director Sasa Bozic and the visual artist Laurent Goldring. The piece was performed in a version for children at the Purple Tanzfestival and the Junges Tanzhaus NRW in 2019. In 2014 the group choreography Collective Jumps was premiered at the Hebbel am Ufer (HAU), in Berlin, and in a local version in Poznań, followed by further local versions at Kampnagel in Hamburg, the Deutsches Kulturinstitut in Timișoara (Romania), the Venice Biennale 2016 (link) and elsewhere. The retrospective On Visibility and Amplifications, at the HAU, was an extensive presentation of the artistic collaboration between Isabelle Schad and Laurent Goldring. The solo Fugen was premiered at the same theatre in 2015 and subsequently shown at Moving in November in Helsinki, the NEXT Festival in Valenciennes and other venues.
  In 2016 Schad’s group work Pieces and Elements was first performed at the Hebbel am Ufer, and was also shown at the Pact-Zollverein in Essen and the Berlinische Galerie. In 2017 Schad created the two portraits Double Portrait and Turning Solo. Her performative exhibition INSIDE OUT was premiered at Tanz im August Berlin 2018. Her trilogy on collective bodies was completed with the first performance of Reflection (HAU1 Berlin).
