Isabella Campbell’s need and desire to move is largely given form by the instrument of dance. Outside of technique classes at UNCSA, Campbell explores external movement for the sake of understanding internal movement. Their interest in moving particles can be traced back to being two-years old and a questionable decision to follow the sound of buzzing bees.
The free thinking they fostered in childhood now fuels their creativity as an artist. The playground of the dance studio is where Campbell’s curiosity, wonder, analysis and self-discipline have culminated, to become rehearsed pieces by diverse artists including José Limón, Ming-Lung Yang, Shen Wei and Andrew Harper.
Prior to their B.F.A., Campbell rehearsed and performed two consecutive seasons with Missoula, MT’s Bare Bait Dance Company. Campbell’s professionalism with Bare Bait Dance Company is opaquely translated to the studio, where undertaking play buzzes with the time, space and energy of any project.
