TO ALL EMERGING DANCE ARTISTS BASED IN BERLIN
Every new year, the Tanztage Berlin is not only the city's very first festival, it has also established itself nationally and internationally as an important platform for emerging dance artists since its founding in 1996. The next edition of Tanztage Berlin will once again take place under the artistic direction of Mateusz Szymanówka. The festival is currently planned for 5-20 January 2024. The festival offers emerging dance artists based in Berlin a framework for their new productions and revivals. The programme of the last two editions can be found at: https://tanztage-berlin.sophiensaele.com.

Woman with Stones broadens the concept of drag with an entire pool of transformation fantasies. Hybrid figures enter the stage. In a bewitching confusion of fluid identities and materialities, their bodies are inhabited by divas and stones, changing from role to role between the poetic and the banal. In the joyful imitation of something one is not – or believes not to be – imaginary subjectivities unfold beyond mere gender order. What if nature herself wore drag?
CAROLINE CREUTZBURG, born in Berlin, studied at the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies in Giessen. Since 2009 she has been initiating her own stage projects, with which she pursues her interest in both strong and permeable frameworks. She is guided by the questions of implicit forms of addressing, self-determined subjectivity, the supposedly banal and the values of entertainment.
