Dance moves and confronts us on many levels, allows us to feel emotions and identify new perspectives and brings us closer together. No matter what its origin, dance connects us. We want to ensure that this power of dance and the inspiration and energy it brings are also visible in the digital world.
The aim of tanz:digital is to present artistic projects using digital means and to give interested parties access to current dance productions, films and documentaries.
We are currently working with tanz:digital on developing a new digital platform, which will include works in a variety of formats including streamed productions, dance films, 3D projections and film documentaries.
At the same time, the tanz:digital platform will also be open to interested artists and ensembles for the audiovisual presentation of current and past productions. The digital projects, videos and images will be accompanied by information about the ensembles, artists and producers involved, with texts on dance-related topics, aesthetics and discourses drawing connections between individual projects.
In collaboration with the Association of German Dance Archives (VDT) and using historical dance materials, this project is connecting the present and the history of dance. The aim is a permanent presentation as well as free access and visibility of the items concerned. Through the close collaboration of dance networks and dance ensembles, artists and producers, tanz:digital is forming a new community of all those committed to the digital presentation of dance.
The tanz:digital platform is being developed as part of the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland (DTD) funding programme in cooperation with the Association of German Dance Archives.
