As New Adventures Emerging Artist, Isabella Chandler has taken to the stage as part of our 2025-26 company of The Red Shoes.
For Isabella, performing in The Red Shoes marks the culmination of a journey that began when she first encountered New Adventures during her training at Elmhurst Ballet School, an introduction that sparked a desire to one day make New Adventures part of her professional journey. Now that ambition has become a reality as she steps into touring life, representing the transition from training to performance.
In a recent conversation with Hannah Kremer, New Adventures Emerging Artist 2022–23, Isabella reflects on the excitement of her first performances with the company, the challenge of sustaining work on tour, and the thrill of finally sharing the stage with New Adventures dancers after years of dedication and hard work.
I never thought I would be able to do that. It never crossed my mind that that would be me one day.
