Tanzmehr Bühne Branches
Between the biennial festivals, we strengthen cultural participation in the art form of dance with the ‘branches’. These activities are intended to grow further into the dance community, the regions and society. In 2024, these are the ‘Critical Whiteness Workshop’ (July) and the ‘Round Tables’ conference (October). In 2025, coaching sessions for groups and an open format are planned.
