Call for Demonstration / September, 13, 2024, 18-20h / Brandenburger Tor
ZTB Zeitgenössischer Tanz Berlin e.V.
10-12% cuts on the Berlin level
50% cuts on the Federal level
Berlin Dance needs you!
Poor but sexy won’t do it this time!
The current cuts in the (federal budget) Federal Cultural Fund of up to 50% and the expected cuts at Berlin level of 10-12% will have devastating consequences for the entire independent scene and dance in particular. The situation for self-employed dance professionals is already catastrophic, with an average annual income below the official poverty line. With further cuts, many of us will no longer be able to pursue our profession. This is unacceptable and, to say the least, a huge loss for the city of Berlin, internationally renowned for its diverse and experimental dance scene. This reputation is fading away as the dance landscape is in danger of being dried up by further cuts. We must fight back!
On 13 September 2024, the Dachverband Tanz is organizing an Action Day in front of the Brandenburg Gate to draw attention to the importance of dance in Germany: the diversity and potential of dance should be made visible in the public space and brought into the political conversation.” A performative supporting program will take place from 3 pm and speeches and statements by politicians and cultural workers are planned from 6 pm to 8 pm. This is exactly when we need you! We are planning a demonstration and want to show together that there are many of us who stand for dance in Berlin. Come with your posters if you like, otherwise we will also provide some on site.
