Zoë Schreckenberg is a German choreographer, filmmaker and performer working between live performance and film. She is drawn to the gaps in movement and image, as well as to the impact of absence and transition.
She holds a bachelor's degree in Theatre, Film and Media Studies from the University of Vienna and trained in dance through international programmes including SEAD Salzburg, Tanzquartier Wien, ImPulsTanz and B12 Berlin. Alongside contemporary dance, her movement practice includes fight methods and film stunt techniques.
Her current solo dance performance, WENN ES PLÖTZLICH STILL WIRD, is a co-production with the Hessisches Staatsballett and will have its world premiere at the Tanzfestival Rhein-Main 2026 at Staatstheater Darmstadt.
In 2021, her duo dance piece FUSS ZUM KOPF was showcased as a work-in-progress at Staatstheater Darmstadt. That same year, her film TRIEB - supported by La Briqueterie - CDCN du Val-de-Marne and POLE-SUD - CDCN Strasbourg, among others - was screened at various European film festivals in Paris, Athens, Lisbon, Modena, and Freiburg.
Her dance piece NACH DEM AUFSTEHEN UND VOR DEM LIEGEN was presented in 2020 at CANAL at CND-Pantin in Paris and premiered at Imagetanz Festival Vienna at brut Wien. In 2019, her film KOHLE SAUER WASSER received an award at the International Dance Film Festival in Brussels in the category "L'art difficile de filmer la danse".
