Moving Meetings
Moving Meetings are monthly gatherings for dance professionals of all genres, dance cultures, roles and backgrounds to come together to reflect, engage, share and be curious about each other’s practices, beliefs and experiences. Through these meetings the Tanztriennale would like to foster dialogue and exchange on relevant themes and across boundaries that often separate the different dance communities, encouraging a spirit of openness and mutual discovery.
If you have any questions about access, the schedule or support needs, please talk to us on site or contact us in advance by email: marino@tanztriennale.de
