Trailer
10.03.2022
"Five traceurs dance through a metallic landscape. They are looking for something. Trying to redefine their art of movement. How? Hard to explain." says Isabelle Spescha. The trailer for the piece "Wannanders" was filmed before our showcase at the Kurtheater Baden. We are looking forward to the premiere on 31 March 2022 at Alte Reithalle Aarau.

Teaser
14.02.2022
Choreographer Isabelle Spescha and the collective InQdrt presented a teaser of the piece "WANNANDERS" at the Kurtheater Baden on 12 February. The performance features a mix of contemporary dance and parkour. The beautiful foyer of the theatre was ideally suited for the performance with elaborate stage elements.
Mediation Project
14.02.2022
Isabelle Spescha has been running the mediation projects with young athletes for several years, establishing her own unique signature. The performers are professional parkour artists and have not worked in dance before. Through dance training they have learned to plan their otherwise very impulsive jumps and actions in advance and to act more choreographically.
Last Rehearsals
11.02.2022
The large studio offers enough space for large ensembles and elaborate props - this has proved very helpful for the rehearsals of the collective InQdrt. On 12 February 2022, an exclusive showing will take place at the Kurtheater Baden. After the short performance, choreographer Isabelle Spescha will explain the ideas behind the piece to the audience.

About
27.01.2022
At the beginning of 2018, Isabelle Spescha (dancer and choreographer) conducted a series of dance workshops with the professional parkour team Nurf. In 2019, thanks to extremely successful collaboration, this developed into the piece "Junge bleib am Boden", which functions as an outdoor performance, video production and stage play. It was shown at the Tanzfest Aarau and the Tanztage Olten. This moved the ensemble to create the company InQdrt. They stay with us at the residency from 28 January to 12 February 2022. | www.inqdrt.ch
