Ethics Committee of the DTD

The aim of the work of the DTD Ethics Committee is to address experiences of discrimination, oppression or abuse in the dance world. The Ethics Committee has set up an information portal on the DTD website, which can be accessed here. There you will find information material, suggestions for self-critical reflections as well as contact points for networking and exchange. The work on the portal is in process and is ongoing. The information will soon also be available in English.

The DTD Ethics Committee began its work at the end of 2021. The commission consists of nine members who bring different expertise (legal, medical, psychological, pedagogical, trade union, artistic) from stage dance and the independent scene.
