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.
Visible Undercurrent, the piece by Peter Pleyer traces the developments in dance and its dispersions in the 1980s and 90s into the present. A new generation of dancers and choreographers is now making its presence felt in Berlin, one which deserves to understand its history. Visible Undercurrent, with its dancers from Berlin and New York maps out the influences and pathways in the contemporary dance world, and shows how they are interwoven in personal stories, politics and history. During the rehearsal process the dancers are confronted with historical material and methods to explore physical and conceptual freedom, creating possibilities for little explored structures of choreographic practice. In dialogue with the past, lost inspirations and undercurrents have been rediscovered and made available for the future.
