Isabel Lewis

Artist Isabel Lewis’s 
(born 1981 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) socio-choreographic practice is a strategy of response to space, time, architecture, and situation. Trained in dance, philosophy, and literary criticism, Lewis employs an expanded sense of the choreographic; she generates affective bodily experiences that address all of the senses in her inherently collaborative practice. Her terminology for many of her works is occasions: celebratory gatherings of things, people, plants, dances and smells and other compositions in which the dramaturgy of the moment is composed in real time. Her works have been presented internationally in biennials and solo exhibitions as well as in music, theater, and dance festivals. Lewis is a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts (HGB) Leipzig, leading the Class for Performative Arts since 2021.

A talk with Isabel Lewis and Yon Natalie Mik will take place as part of DIFFRACTIONS—Collecting & Un/Learning.
