TO ALL EMERGING CHOREOGRAPHERS IN BERLIN

Every year the Tanztage Berlin is the very first festival to kick off the new year in the city. Since it was founded in 1996, the festival has evolved into an important platform both nationally and internationally for upcoming choreographers in Berlin. The next edition of the Tanztage Berlin will take place under the new artistic direction of Mateusz Szymanówka. Currently, the festival is planned to take place between January 7 and 23, 2021 – but decisions about the exact time frame and the form of the festival will be subject to the continuous reassessment of the pandemic. The festival offers emerging choreographers based in Berlin a framework to showcase their new and existing productions.
