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.
On 20 May from 16.00 and on 21 May from 14.00 the installation can be viewed in the Sophiensæle canteen.
The Sophiensaele elevator is currently out of order.
As part of the “Frequencies” festival, the opening of Modes of Operation will take place at Sophiensæle. In an interaction with directors Samara Hersch and Anta Helena Recke, the project team presents its theater of working methods.
Modes of Operation is a living online archive of contemporary theater. An archive that does not focus on the performance, but on the working method. Because the fact that a current generation of artists is turning away from the patriarchal authoritarian idea of the “artist geniuses” and is looking for new forms of collaboration deserves to be made visible and disseminated. In this sense, Modes of Operation understands the working methods in the theatre not only as an aesthetic, but also as a social and political practice that can have an effect beyond the field of the arts. Modes of Operation could represent its own form of theatre: a theatre that sees itself as a laboratory for the development of forms of social coexistence and work. A theatre that offers a stage for the discussion of its modes of operation. A theatre that constantly questions itself and the world in which it seeks its form – with an open ending.
A project by Felix Flemmer, Tarun Kade, Katrina Mäntele and Studio CNP. Season one with Leonie Böhm, Samara Hersch, Florentina Holzinger, Satoko Ichihara, Henrike Iglesias, Christiane Jatahy, Susanne Kennedy, Ligia Lewis, Anta Helena Recke and Mariana Villegas.
Modes of Operation is a Goethe-Institut production.
