Tanztriennale
Dance on stage, in public spaces, as discourse, or in everyday life. The first edition of the Tanztriennale explores the potential of dance as an art form, as a social force, and as a catalyst for new perspectives. Spanning cultures, communities, and generations, the Tanztriennale invites dance professionals and the general public to watch, participate, reflect, engage in conversation, and dance!
The Tanztriennale is a new initiative for dance. It is a long-term, recurring event and stands for a clear stance: dance should be made visible, strengthened, and recognized as a socially relevant practice.
The spectrum of invited artists for the inaugural edition ranges from internationally renowned companies to the local Hamburg dance scene. Furthermore, the Tanztriennale extends into Hamburg’s urban space with artistic interventions and a City Parade. The city itself becomes a stage. Throughout the week, events take place at various locations both during the day and in the evening – Hamburg becomes an international hot spot for dance.
As part of the multi-day forum, professional dance practitioners, international delegations, and representatives of various cultural policy networks and organizations from Germany and around the world will come to Hamburg to discuss how to strengthen dance as an art form and increase the visibility of artistic diversity.
