London Metropolitan University 2003 - 10
Stephanie Schober has an ongoing relationship with the BA Performing Arts course. Her company has been performing at the university and students visited her performances at the Southbank Centre. As a guest lecturer she has been teaching various subjects including Laban Movement Analysis, Choreography, Contemporary Dance Technique and Pilates. She created two works for the third year students:
'Two Group Studies' (2009)
Using compositional ideas for movement and sounds, the intention was to investigate group dynamics. Two works were created with two different groups, each interpreting the same tasks with very different results. Performed at London Metropolitan University.
‘Nine voices, my song’ (2006)
A collaboration with composer John-Marc Gowans exploring connections between recorded and live vocal sound and movement. Performed at Jacksons Lane.

Selected participants had the opportunity to develop a new short choreography, which was then performed at Hamburger Sprechwerk, Artblau in Braunschweig and at the London Metropolitan University in London. Stephanie was one of the mentors on this pilot scheme, teaching composition workshops and coaching the participants in their process. More here http://dancebeyondborders.de/2008
