ILONA ROTH – Germany

Ilona Rots‘s dance art studies happened in different countries, universities and places, such as Germany, Austria and USA. Amongst these educational experience she received a scholarship to train with New York’s Companies’ Dancers and another scholarship to study different concepts of classical and modern theatre with actors form Europe and the Middle East in Alexandria, Egypt.

Though art is until now the main field of work and motivation, her curiosity for science and research led her to acquire skills and knowledge in the field of physics and engineering. She speaks 7 languages.

Ilona is a co-founder and leader of the cultural initiative RedSapata which now has grown to be a main gathering point for local and international dancers (from professional to beginner). RedSapata aims to support contemporary dance by providing space to produce art work and networking in Linz.
