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.
"This is a dance solely for dance’s sake.
Dancing is my own way to discipline myself for reaching to my certain essence in my mind.
So I’ve been concentrating on my body itself as a bowl holding my whole being.
Above all, I trust my body.
I disavow the choreographical concept in dance. Dance is the most free form ever imagned.
I try to be true to the freedom of the primal dance and I try to train myself to dance all movement as an art,
a performance and a complete, single sequence dance.
I wish to be free from being conscious of my dancing self.
I pray for the complete freedom that I experience while I dance." -Wooguru
