POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

👇🏼be part of my next film.

International Womens Day 2023 I was busy exhibiting my Bloody Oracle prints & showing my film WombRiver Prayer of Remembrance at @h.artslane as part of @thfest

I’m keen to develop another dance-art film documenting women’s stories of their first period.

DM me or comment 🩸 if you’re interested in contributing or being part of the team to make this happen.

So much love.

Massive thanks to all the women in my life who’ve continued to love and support me.

Sending prayers to women in less fortunate situations than mine, who have their freedoms restricted.

No one is free until we are all free.

Peace.
Isabella

Death is a welcome embrace
Death is shedding what needs to leave
Death is a bloody mess
Death is real, heart-wrenching loss
Death is knowing who I must become
Death is surrender to the unknown
Death is constant
Death is the only surity of life.

Have you noticed the effects of somatic practice on your performance presence?

Or if you’re not a performer, how has somatics affected your every day interactions?

And if you have no experience with somatics, are you curious!!? taken in London, United Kingdom by @isabella_necessary

Been getting back into photography this year...

Very much inspired by a dear friend of mine (who isn’t on socials) who documents her life with such joy and enthusiasm on her analogue camera.

This isn’t analogue, but l am very much tempted to go back to that instant, un-controllable non-digital process...

Sharing some of my work to remind myself Im a real artist still!! Sometimes the spirit of doubt and deception devours my thoughts and hinders my sharing of these visual gifts to the world. Get me?!

So here I am slaying those demons for you to enjoy this moment of pigeon festival that I captured.

Much love to all,
Remember you’re an artist!!

Ps: to combat ai stealing artist work, I embedded this image with some kinda cryptic message that tells the ai to stick it where the sun don’t shine. The app I used is called foxglove, you’re welcome xx taken in Dog Kennel Hill by @isabella_necessary

SAVE THE DATE 17.05.2026 - JETZT ANMELDEN ‼️

DUNKELFELD – hinter verschlossenen Türen 🖤

👉WORKSHOP | 10:00–12:00 „Ich bin da!“ Grenzen spüren. Raum erobern. Selbstwirksamkeit stärken.

Durch Tanz, Bewegung, Zeichnen und Gespräche erkunden wir körperlich, was sich Worten entzieht. Traumasensibel angeleitet. Für alle – keine Vorkenntnisse nötig.

👉12:30 | Work-in-Progress Sharing „With Love, Rose“
Beziehungen sind komplex. Machtgefüge verschieben sich – manchmal unmerklich, manchmal drastisch. Kontrolle, Nähe, Distanz. Vieles passiert hinter verschlossenen Türen, im Verborgenen.
Diese installative Tanzperformance lädt euch zu einer Art Schatzsuche ein: Ihr erkundet den Raum, folgt Spuren, entdeckt Hinweise. Ihr werdet Teil der Erzählung – oft ohne es zu merken. Durch Bewegung, Video und Text entstehen Begegnungspunkte mit Dynamiken, die sich Worten entziehen.

Work-in-Progress bedeutet: Ihr erlebt den Prozess mit. Eure Wahrnehmung, eure Gedanken sind Teil der Stück-Entwicklung.

👉GESPRÄCHE Nach der Performance kommen wir zusammen. Austausch, Reflexion, Fragen.

📍 TanzART/ IM FRIESE, Kirschau 💶 Kostenfrei 📧 Anmeldung: info@jana-schmueck.de

Beide Veranstaltungen sind kostenfrei und können unabhängig voneinander besucht werden. Um Voranmeldung wird gebeten.
*gefördert durch den Kleinprojektefonds der Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen
