{c} Sarah&Isaiah
Sarah Baltzinger began contemporary dance at the age of 18 and developed her artistic practice in a largely self-taught manner. She studied live performance, art history, and cultural industries at the University of Metz. In 2012, she moved to Spain to train with CobosMika Company. She began her professional dancing career in 2013 and has since worked as a performer with various choreographers and artists across Europe, including Laura Vilar, Corinne Lanselle, Bernard Baumgarten, Helder Seabra, and Wayne Parsons. In 2016, she initiated her own choreographic work and founded her company within a cross- border dynamic between Luxembourg and the Grand Est region in France. Sarah Baltzinger has created several works, including FURY (2017), WHAT DOES NOT BELONG TO US (2018), and DON’T YOU SEE IT COMING (2020, selected for PSO – Petites Scènes Ouvertes in France). In 2021, she created ROUGE EST UNE COULEUR FROIDE, an experimental enclosed-format piece blending dance theatre and electronic music, combining absurdity and a bestiary-inspired aesthetic. In 2023, Sarah created VÉNUS ANATOMIQUE, a work for five female performers that has enjoyed significant success in France and internationally, and is still touring today.
Isaiah Wilson began dancing at the age of 11. At 18, he entered the prestigious professional
contemporary dance school CODARTS in Rotterdam. Upon completing his studies, he undertook an internship with the renowned ICK Amsterdam dance company under the direction of Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten. He returned to Luxembourg in 2020 and collaborated with choreographer Jill Crovisier. He also worked with FOQUS, a leading audiovisual company within the Luxembourg cultural scene, where he refined his skills in film and cinematic techniques. In parallel, Isaiah composes music and develops strong expertise in sound design, with the aim of creating his own musical compositions. In 2022, Isaiah created a solo project entitled 331 grams. That same year, he was awarded Second Prize in the choreography category at the International Tanz Festival Stuttgart, which led to an international tour in 2022 and 2023 with the performance FÉVRIER. He wrote and directed a short dance film entitled SUBMERGE, immersing the audience in a unique choreographic experience underwater, forming part of a larger immersive installation. In 2023, Isaiah created a piece titled score, which brings together dance and scientific experimentation.
Ensemble
In 2022, Sarah Baltzinger and Isaiah Wilson began working together in artistic co-direction and
committed to the creation of several joint projects. Among them is the duet MEGASTRUCTURE, which has achieved strong international recognition. In June 2023, they received multiple awards at the prestigious RIDCC (Rotterdam International Duet Choreographic Competition), including the XL Production Award, as well as four partner awards from Nederlands Dans Theater, Skånes Dansteater, Sally Dansgezelschap Maastricht, and MAAS Theater en Dans. The duo was subsequently selected for Aerowaves 2024 and is currently touring internationally. In 2025, Sarah and Isaiah created their first choreographic work for Scapino Ballet Rotterdam, entitled GOATS, as part of the ORIGIN program—directly resulting from the prize awarded at RIDCC. The piece has met with major international success and has been taken up by numerous institutions and companies, including Staatstheater Tanz Bielefeld, where it will premiere on October 31, 2025. That same year, they also choreographed the 2025–2026 tour of rap artist Damso. In July 2025, they led a research laboratory at Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) and presented a creation with the dancers of NDT 2 as part of the Up and Coming Lab program. This widely acclaimed presentation opened the door to promising future collaborations with NDT. In autumn 2025, Sarah and Isaiah will begin a new creation entitled WAXES for Scapino Ballet Rotterdam, inspired by their work VÉNUS ANATOMIQUE. Presented within the Future is Feminine program initiated by Scapino’s artistic director, the piece will premiere on January 22, 2026, followed by a tour throughout the Netherlands. In autumn 2026, they are invited to create a new work for GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, with its world premiere scheduled for October 9, 2026, at Pfalzbau Ludwigshafen (Germany), followed by a Swedish premiere at the Gothenburg Opera on November 13, 2026. Finally, on February 12, 2027, Sarah and Isaiah will premiere a new independent creation produced by their company, entitled WALKIE-TALKIE SYMPHONY IN D-MINOR (for unlearning emotion), for six performers, at Arsenal – Cité musicale-Metz. In parallel, their repertoire continues to be presented at festivals and theatres across France and throughout Europe.
