Working in the field of contemporary art today means creating occasions, contexts, and moments that no longer show “what art is,” but rather “what art does.” Tanzfabrik Berlin Bühne offers a wide range of formats to frame the artistic projects presented in our annual program.

Falten
Since autumn 2022, the presentation format “Falten” has stood for a recurring condensation of artistic projects connected through loose thematic or conceptual links. It is neither a festival nor a season, but rather exists in-between – featuring events such as talks, performances, exhibitions, first rehearsal impressions, and premieres.

Tanznacht Berlin
Since 2008, Tanznacht Berlin has showcased the diversity of choreographic works by artists living and working in Berlin. The festival changes its curatorial leadership every two years to respond to evolving artistic approaches and audience discourses. Between festival editions, the discursive format “Tanznacht Forum” and additional events take place.

Tanznacht Forum
Since 2015, Tanznacht Forum has complemented the festival during its off years with discursive formats. It provides space for exchange and reflection on current questions and developments in the dance scene.

Time to Meet
“Time to Meet” combines open rehearsals with conversational formats to offer deeper insights into artistic processes and foster exchange between artists and audiences.

Open Studio
“Open Studio” spontaneously opens doors to creative processes. The format varies and dates are announced shortly beforehand on Instagram. Follow us there to not miss any glimpses behind the scenes!

From 2021 to 2024, Tanzfabrik published an annual publication featuring a retrospective of the projects presented. You can download the publications here.

Stream is a platform for texts dealing with “Live Art” in the broadest sense. The published contributions focus on individual pieces or entire works, reflecting the authors’ own practice or that of other artists, and engage with concepts, developments, and changes within Live Art as a whole. Stream views writing as an autonomous artistic practice and provides space for experimental, literary, theoretical, and critical texts.

Stream is hosted by Tanzfabrik and regularly publishes articles about events at Tanzfabrik Berlin BÜHNE. The platform operates as an open and flexible space without fixed editorial guidelines, placing writing and artistic reflection at its core.
