For 25 years, Isabelle Schad has successfully worked with an open artist constellation in Berlin, exhibiting over 60 works at major venues.

This creates a new type of training that grows organically, becoming a movement in its own right, with its holistic practice at its heart, understanding body and mind, practice and the visibility of the work as an inseparable unity.
