Artistic Director: Ismael Ivo
Ismael Ivo studied theatre and dance in his home town of São Paolo in Brazil. In 1983 he joined the Alvin Ailey Dance Company in New York City. Moving to Germany in 1985 he became known through his solo works (Phoenix, Under Skin, Delirium of a Childhood, among others).His first choreographed work for a group, Labyrinthos, was performed in 1993. He is also known for his close collaborations with Johann Kresnik (Mars, Francis Bacon and Othello), the Directors George Tabori (Moses and Aron, Der Nackte Michelangelo, among others) and Yoshi Oida (Die Zofen).
Ismael Ivo is founder of, and Artistic Advisor to, the Festival Internationale Tanzwochen Wien. From 1996 to 2000 he was the Artistic Director of the Dance Theatre Ensemble at the German Nationaltheater in Weimar. In collaboration with the dancer Marcia Haydée he created some of his last choreographed pieces (Tristan and Isolde, Oedipus, among others). Currently he is living and working as dancer, pedagogue and choreographer in Berlin.

Theme: Stories for a New Century
Every century is in need of progressive ideas. SiWiC addresses itself to a new generation of choreographers working to create new stories and who have the courage to develop their own vision.

Form: Choreographic Theatre
Basic to choreography are clear concepts of form and content. Under the personal coaching of the internationally reknowned dancer, choreographer and pedagogue Ismael Ivo, each of the selected choreographers will be supported and encouraged in their individual approach and style to choreography. At the same time they will have the unique opportunity to experience first-hand Ismael Ivo's way of working in choreographic theater.
