"Isabel von Rittberg is quite a young lady. She has created a dance group that combines Music/Rock Climbing/Dancing and all performed on a stage with real/artificial walls of rocks in Berkeley at Ashby Stage...I attended the final performance last month March and it was sold out on a Sunday afternooon and standing ovation at the end."
