Open call – The Tanzkongress 2022

In June 2022, the State Theatre of Mainz will be hosting the Dance Congress in cooperation with the Federal Cultural Foundation and the city of Mainz – with Honne Dohrmann as the Head of Programme and a large contribution of the entire company. The motto of the Dance Congress will be “Sharing Potentials”, festuring the role of the dancer and providing a platform for dance enthusiasts to exchange ideas, learn from one another and grow in the increasingly hybrid world of dance.

The 2022 congress was born out of the role of tanzmainz being a bridge between the independent scene and repertory theatres. Hybrid structures, venues and formats will be presented, discussed, scrutinised and reinvented. tanzmainz invites all dancers, rehearsal managers, company and theatre directors, producers and other dance enthusiasts to come together and exchange views from 16 to 19 June 2022.

Deadline for applications: The deadline for submissions is 31 May 2021

The Tanzkongress 2022 will take place in Mainz from 16 to 19 June 2022. Under the motto ‘Sharing Potentials’, Staatstheater Mainz together with the Federal Cultural Foundation invites you to share experiences, knowledge, ideas and also utopias with each other and to spend 4 eventful days in Mainz!
