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.
From 19 to 21 May 2022, the Goethe-Institut is staging the interdisciplinary festival Frequencies. Sharing Feminisms. Over three days, the festival will open up resonant spaces for feminist debates and movements – multiperspectival, intersectional and diverse – at the Pfefferberg area and the Sophiensaele in Berlin. The programme of the international three-day festival “Frequencies. Sharing Feminisms” includes discussions, workshops, performances, readings, participatory formats, music and films.
At Sophiensæle, performance artist RIMA NAJDI presents her new work I Grew an Alien Inside of Me for the first time on May 20 + 21 as part of the festival programme. In the multidisciplinary piece, Najdi explores the movements of the body and the experience of time in two different contexts, that of birth and that of a political and social revolution.
In addition, on both days, the performance project Bodies of Care invites a participatory exploration of the relationship between care and choreography. Also on May 20 + 21, the project Modes of Operation will take place, which, through an installation and workshops – live and online – together with different artists, deals with the construction of an online archive of different working methods in the theatre.
The festival Frequenzen. Feminisms global is a project of the Goethe-Institut in partnership with Missy Magazine and Deutschlandfunk Kultur. In cooperation with the SOPHIENSÆLEN and the ICI Berlin.
