‘She [Elisabeth Schilling] rushes through the dance projects like a whirlwind and does not shy away from any music or form of dance. (…) Elisabeth Schilling is full of energy. She draws from an infinite pool of creative ideas. Her work is well thought out, often containing a theoretical analysis of complex issues. If contemporary dance is not considered immediately accessible anyway, her choreographies are particularly abstract, but ultimately poetic. Since the dancer began presenting her choreographies in Luxembourg, she has been causing a stir.’⠀
Anina Valle Thiele – Luxemburger Wort

‘But it is a serious struggle for life and survival that is being played out here, as living species break free from their organic prison. It is a dance of struggle, alliances are created, then just as quickly undone, only to be reconfigured. All the elements seem to be one, as they suffer the same unstable fate.’
Jérôme Quiqueret, Tageblatt

‘Elisabeth Schilling’s latest dance creation “Florescence in Decay” on the music of Anna Meredith, inspires me once again with the so very independent language of form, movement and image of this remarkable artist. In the most beautiful sense, all her experiences from earlier works flow into this, build on it, quote materials, shape and thus develop her special signature and aesthetics ever further. A literally wonderful cycle of emergence and decay. Sometimes you see clearly structured processes, sometimes they are shadowy, vaguely minimalist changes, the whole embedded in a fascinating stage space’
