Isabel López lives in Barcelona. She is currently working with cellist Amparo Lacruz on Bach’s Suites for violoncello. Her artistic curiosity and interest in simplicity, which distinguishes art as a research process, results in her continually transforming, studying and investigating various disciplines related to the body and movement. This drive led her to create her first piece “Bailada” (2009). In recent years new collaborations have arisen: with dancer Gustavo Lesgart she created the duet “Travelin”, with visual artist Joaquín Jara and multidisciplinary artist Víctor Zambrana she created “Retraro 05 / Isabel López”; and, more recently, with dancer Lourdes Solá, and the pianists Lluís Avendaño and Josep María Almirón, she created “Concierto para piano y danza”. In 2000 she met Àngels Margarit / cia. Mudances, with whom she mantains a close artistic relationship as a performer and pedagog, in addition to accompanying Àngels on various solo projects. She has also worked and collaborated on several projects with various dance companies (Bestiario Teatro, Cia. Losdedae, Cia. Taffanel, Cia. Lanónima Imperial, Colectivo La Intimidada, Cia. Nats Nus, Cia. Raravis, Cia. Moviment Lantana…), and continues to develop her practice as a pedagog, teaching in different training programs and artistic centers sharing her way of understanding movement.
