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.
Hermann Heisig is currently the most colorful bird in the Berlin dance scene.
(Der Tagesspiegel).
In Next to Near, together with May Zarhy (IL/DE), he deals with intimacy and distance in times of videotelephony and low cost airlines: We feel connected with people far away buy yet simultaneously distance ourselves from our immediate surroundings. Do we need proximity to feel intimacy? A choreography about the growing absurdity of our relation towards proximity and distance.
