Community and climate activism underpin all of Izabella's work.
Led by a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, Izabella brings her versatile experience as a creative across stage and screen to projects. She is most excited by projects where the division between disciplines breaks down, and elements intertwine to create something genre-defying.
Producing credits include the smash-hit sell-out season of Much Ado About Nothing presented at Flow Studios in 2022; an immersive production of The 39 Steps presented in a glamorous underground bar; and the 10th annual Alvin Ailey Day of Dance, a community-arts event by NJPAC.
As a writer, Izabella's debut full-length play These Youths Be Protesting premiered at Kings Cross Theatre on Broadway in April 2025. In 2024, Izabella was one of three finalists in the 2024 Martin Lysicrates Prize, was the recipient of Shellharbour Council's 2024 Incubator Artist Residency, and had her work supported by bAKEHOUSE Theatre Company through their residency program at KXT on Broadway. In 2021, she was a member of ATYP's National Writing Studio, and in 2022 was selected for national writing mentorship program Fresh Ink. Her play Fish Doof was published by Currency Press as a part of Intersection Bloom. She co-devised/wrote Stillwater a play with music which premiered Off-Broadway (USA) in 2019.
Izabella also has significant dramaturgy experience and recently dramaturged Harm's Way a script by Dr Annmaree Watharow on the hospital experiences of people living with dual sensory impairment. She went on to direct the film version of Harm's Way, which is currently in post-production.
Concerned by how harmful the theatre industry is on the environment, Izabella founded Blinking Light; a theatre company on Gadigal land, dedicated to creating bold works of theatre that build community, spread joy, and further the fight against climate change.
