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.
Yuropa negotiates a vision for living together: in the framework of the intercultural tandem-project The Choronauts the Nigerian choreographer Qudus Onikeku and Sebastian Matthias from Germany let their aesthetic practices collide with one another. They weave a free space out of elements of cultural narratives and songs, rituals and masquerades. A transcultural groove emerges from these interweavings because at least in theater we can decided that things don’t stay the way they begin!
