Tanztage Berlin – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin

Since 1996, Tanztage Berlin has presented innovative and genre-bending work by Berlin artists in the field of contemporary dance, choreography and performance. This producing platform is a unique opportunity for the city's broadly defined choreographic newcomers and artists that have recently arrived in Berlin to present their work to a loyal local and international audience. With its 33 editions, the festival has proven many times what constitutes its DNA: it encourages artistic risk-taking, experimental formats and visions that not only challenge conventional narratives about dance and choreography but also question the status of the body in the contemporary world.

The next edition of Tanztage Berlin will again take place under the artistic direction of Mateusz Szymanówka. The festival is currently planned for January 9th–25th 2025. The festival offers emerging dance artists based in Berlin a framework for their new productions and revivals.
