Johannes Schropp (*1997) studied composition (with Luxa M. Schüttler and Jennifer Walshe) and choreography & performance (Bojana Kunst, Xavier Le Roy, Martina Ruhsam and others). His work is installative, cinematic, sonic and performative; he constructs reflexive, immersive time spaces (or: spacetimes) that almost meditatively search for realities that are hidden beyond what is concretely audible, visible, tangible and articulable.
He also composes music for dance and performance productions and works as a (stage and video) director for music theatre and innovative concert forms. He also works as a filmmaker for performing and visual artists and as a dramaturge for dance productions (internship 2023 at the Hessian State Ballet).
Performances, residencies and collaborations at HELLERAU Dresden, Tanzhaus NRW, PACT Zollverein Essen, Radialsystem Berlin, State Theatre Darmstadt, Tanzfaktur Cologne, Frankfurt LAB, Kunstraum34 Stuttgart, FiTZ Stuttgart, LaObra Paris (FR), Tanzplattform Rhein-Main, BAD Festival Bilbao (ES), Simultan Festival Timsoara (RO), Sofia Art Week 4 (BG), among others.
Johannes is a founding member of the initiative Dance Nexus launched in 2024, which is dedicated to supporting independent dance makers in Wiesbaden and Mainz, and part of the experimental music collective art.ist Wiesbaden.
