Tanz Macht Berlin

February 1, 2025, Akademie der Künste, Pariser Platz

[Translate to English:]

As an artistic force, dance has significantly shaped Berlin's cultural life in recent years. Moreover, dance has been a driving force for change on and off the stage for decades: it provides impetus for new perspectives on how and where we are moving, both in the performative arts and in society. It draws attention to grievances. He designs utopias. It calls for participation and diversity. It writes history/stories. Tanz Macht Berlin brings together actors from dance and its surroundings to discuss the impact and immense potential of dance - and to deliberate: What are the visions and concrete needs of dance? And how will we realize them together in the future?

This discussion forum is part of and kicks off the nationwide project “Structures & Strategies for Dance”: After the kick-off at the Akademie der Künste, Tanzbüro Berlin, together with a total of 10 dance offices/networks from 10 federal states, will negotiate their own pressing dance topics in satellite formats on site and bring them into the nationwide exchange. A digital closing event in September will summarize all the results and take a look into the future.

Supported by the Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion
