TanzWerkstatt Berlin, founded in 1988 and incorporated into Kulturveranstaltungs-GmbH in 1992, is dedicated to supporting and presenting new approaches and works in the field of international contemporary dance that are open to influences from other media and experiment with new forms. In particular, this includes work in the zone between dance and performance, work that does not grasp contemporary dance as an isolated discipline, but rather as an artistic means of coming to terms with the world we live in, works whose means of expression are based on movement and the human body. In addition, dance films and video work are an integral part of TanzWerkstatt’s program. A special focus is placed on process-oriented projects and an international exchange of ideas between artists.
