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.
In an energy packed collage about the zest for life and in the spirit of the youngest European nation, 13 dancers of the National Ballet of Kosovo reinterpret famous characters of classical ballet. Set to deep house sounds emanating from the club scene in Pristina, the choreography questions the aesthetic, social and societal constructions in classical ballet and at the same time makes use of the language of movement in order to create new choreographic forms of community and togetherness.
