Taking care – informal exchange on the topic of dance and parenthood
More visibility for all dance professionals who are caregivers and the challenges they face! We will showcase initiatives and projects related to dance and care work with a focus on parenthood. In the room, you will find extensive information and can explore recommendations for action, best practice examples, and your own experiences. In the second hour, we will open the room for informal exchange. What moves you as parents or caregivers in the field of dance? Where would you like to see support? We will make space for honest exchange and attentive listening.
In cooperation with Tanzbüro München

Resonance Room
Dance Narrates – Dance Platform Germany
HELLERAU
Opening installation, then open continuously
Since 1994, Tanzplattform has served as a forum for contemporary dance in and from Germany, connecting artists, curators, and journalists. It was initiated at a time when contemporary dance was barely visible on the cultural agenda.
The installation "Resonanzraum: Tanz erzählt - Tanzplattform Deutschland" (Resonance Space: Dance Narrates - Dance Platform Germany) gives a voice to the artists and initiators of the first platforms and addresses the environmental factors of the independent dance scene in the 1990s - the cultural-political and economic conditions as well as the aesthetic and socio-political aspects. It invites visitors into a resonance space between past and present perspectives, between memories and hopes.
