Isabella Stone is a dance artist from Perth, Western Australia, which is Whadjuk Noongar Country. She is a performer, choreographer and teaching artist with over a decade of experience in Western Australia and Tasmania. 

Isabella believes in dance as a language that crosses borders and unites communities; that the act of dancing facilitates a space for sharing – shared stories and shared experiences – and creates space for change. Her approach is centred around people and kindness, play and imagination, liberation of self and the importance of community.

A STEPS Youth Dance Company alumni (2005-2007) Isabella has continued her involvement and advocacy for youth dance as a choreographer and teaching artist. As choreographer, she has collaborated on two Australian Dance Award winning choreographies Fights and Flights (2014) by STEPS Youth Dance Company and ProjectNEXT (2017) by Co:3; facilitated workshops and forums at the 2019 Australian Youth Dance Festival – International in Melbourne and has worked in secondary and primary schools throughout Perth and regional WA.

Isabella’s debut full length work mouseprint premiered at the State Theatre Centre of Western Australia in 2015. Since then, she has created work for LINK Dance Company and WAAPA. Isabella was invited to be one of five artist/makers for Tasdance 2017-2019. Her most recent choreography ‘where dreams go to die’ was a site specific solo created and performed for First Floor presented by Tasdance within the Junction Arts Festival, Launceston.

As a performer Isabella has worked with choreographers Sue Peacock, Aimee Smith, Bianca Martin, Didier Thèron, Tyrone Robinson, Yilin Kong, Alice Lee Holland, Emma Fishwick, Shona Erskine, PRAXIS, JukStaPoz, MAXIMA Circus, Thomas E.S. Kelly, Gabriel Comerford and Sofie Burgoyne. She has been a part of extensive creative and research residencies in Finland, Bilbao, Perth, Launceston and NSW.
