Alterophile Lab
As part of the new Alterophile Lab project, which is supported by the Office for Theater and Dance of the Institut français Deutschland and Tanzfabrik Berlin, artists from France will work in Tanzfabrik's new project space, Grüntaler9, in the Wedding district from August 2024 to April 2025.
Alterophile Lab is intended to be more than a classic residency and to help establish a place for encounters, learning and artistic development in the heart of the neighborhood. The program aims to create a space for the development of ideas, where artists can work on and present their projects and concepts in a protected environment.
Parts of the work processes are shared with the audience in showings, lectures or open studios. It starts on September 11 with «DOPA» by artists Anne-Lise Le Gac and Anat Bosak. This will be followed by projects by Yvonne Sembene and Ivana Müller as part of the Tanznacht Forum EXPANDED from December 5 to 8. In spring 2025, Gérald Kurdian will present the results of his residency.

DOPA
by Anne Lise Le Gac, Anat Bosak
What would it be like to bring two artists together for an experiment, similar to a hackerspace?
In the synusia of «DOPA» - a temporary action network for the free exchange of knowledge - Anna Lise Le Gac and Anat Bosak dismantle, improve and hijack system objects entrusted to them: actual and symbolic technologies such as a glowing organism, a code of conduct, a wifi box or a noisy, spinning art object made of garbage.
«DOPA» is a site-specific performance whose infrastructure is generated from the propellants of the space it occupies. For Tanzfabrik BÜHNE, the two artists infiltrate a Berlin store. They map energy sources, list restrictions, calculate watts burned and collect hidden stories.
«DOPA» confronts the audience with unexpected sensory experiences. The only thing they can be sure of is that they are constantly accompanied by the performers.
Further artists will follow: Yvonne Sembene, Ivana Müller, Gérald Kurdian.
