Netzwerktreffen Tanzvermittlung – #1 Access Check.

Thursday, 14th of December 2023, 2 – 7 pm

Tagungshaus Alte Feuerwache, Kreuzberg

What is the status quo of access in the field of dance? What are good practices that have made a difference in recent years? What are the biggest barriers and how can we overcome them together? We would like to address these questions by looking at institutional and artistic-mediating practices.

The network meeting builds on our concept for a Berlin dance mediation centre, Access Point Dance/Tanzvermittlungszentrum, in which the terms Vermittlung and Access are strongly linked. The Netzwerktreffen Tanzvermittlung – #1 Access Check is the first of a series of regular network meetings in the field of dance mediation and serves to promote links and exchange.

Keynote guests include:

Hannah Aldinger (Access-Work and art mediator)

Angela Alves (Dancer and choreographer)

Lucia Matzke (Krump dancer and dance mediator)

Bahar Meric (Co-Founder of Future Move e.V.)

Elisa Ricci (Project manager of Offensive Tanz für junges Publikum)

Diana Thielen (Activist dance maker and mediator)

 

Moderation: Leila Haghighat (Cultural scientist and art mediator)
