Bio

Isabella Oberländer is a dance artist and choreographer based in Limerick, where she was associate artist with Dance Limerick 2019-2021. Her work engages in choreographic frameworks that embrace the materiality of the body and aim for a visceral articulation of physicality and thought. Working the imagination muscle, engaging with queer feminist ideas, and dancing her heart out are integral parts of her artistic practice.

As a dance artist she is always seeking, she is always in motion. With alienation, otherness and sweaty dancing at its core, her solo work Glisten premiered at Dublin Fringe Festival 2021. As a performer she has worked with Philip Connaughton, Lucy Suggate, Pietro Marullo, Mary Nunan and Laura Murphy. Currently she is collaborating with Fearghus Ó Conchúir on developing the practice Tearmann Aiteach/ Queer Sanctuary and working with plant scientist Eoin Lettice as part of her residency with UCC Creative & ERI at Glenkeen Gardens/Crespo Foundation.

Project

She will participate in the Visiting Artist Program of the Sismògraf Festival, meeting with Catalan artists and programmers.
