The Company

Since founding the company in 2016, Elisabeth Schilling & Company has evolved from a solo-driven initiative into one of Luxembourg’s leading mid-scale dance companies, touring internationally and performing at established dance and music institutions. With the support of the Ministère de la Culture de Luxembourg since 2020, and guided by Elisabeth’s vision alongside a dedicated six-person administrative team, the company has established a vibrant network of around 120 partner institutions across diverse national and international landscapes. The company is known for artistic excellence, social engagement, a passion for audience development and entrepreneurial expertise. 

We connect. Elisabeth Schilling & Company create unique, personal and original experiences that make the art forms and people dance with each other and invite to enjoy, reflect and inspire.

We make dances beyond dance. With an international team and across different collaborations, we develop transdisciplinary projects between movement, design, visual and plastic arts and music, making the disciplines dance among themselves and with each other. With a deep curiosity in the intricacies of art making, we strive towards excellence in artistic concept, execution and reception.

We bring dance everywhere. We tasked ourselves with making contemporary dance happen in established dance spaces as well as in unusual places. Accordingly, our productions tour European metropolises as well as more rural areas, black box theaters as well as museums, galleries, concert halls, historic buildings and public spaces. Dance is thus, almost in passing, rendered accessible to a new public.

We invite people in. At the same time, an important part of our work consists in different formats of creative learning, audience engagement and development. For each production, we develop an accompanying framing programme for various audiences, ranging from specifically devised post-performance discussions with the audience to accompanying workshops, symposia and catalogues.

We work towards equity. As a company we recognize that the access to culture and dance, the participation in art and the creation of art projects are connected to privilege. We are committed to working on recognizingand attempting to breaking down structural inequalities. We are committed to developing structures and projects that make the access to art and dance as an audience member, workshop participant, dancer or artistic collaborator as accessible as possible.
