Opening & Welcome
Open Studio · Discourse by Tanzfabrik Berlin BÜHNE
In the frame of RESIST!: Assembly
In collaboration with Zeitgenössischer Tanz Berlin e.V. and external guests, the project RESIST! hosts weekly “Assemblies” from March 5 to May 7: every Thursday evening** from 5–7 pm, everyone interested is invited to gather at Uferstudio 5.
With the format of the “Assemblies,” we aim to offer the independent scene space and time for broader cultural and political exchange. While digital connections tend to encourage fast, largely anonymous and individualized expressions of opinion, we choose to invest in real social cohesion. Through the “Assemblies,” we create a solidaric setting in which reflection and discussion can take place live and on site. Together, we want to explore how we can sustainably defend artistic freedom — in the face of current cuts to cultural funding and the normalization of right-wing positions within wider society.
Here is a brief overview of the Assembly dates:
05.03: Opening & welcome for our resident artists
12.03: Open general assembly of Zeitgenössischer Tanz Berlin e.V. (ZTB)
19.03: “Public Arts Funding in a Politically Tense Climate – Scenarios of Change?” with Dr. Justus Duhnkrack (lawyer and political advisor)
26.03: Assembly with the Dance Funding Working Group (AG Tanzförderung)
16.04: Assembly with the Dance & Parenthood Working Group (AG Tanz und Elternschaft)
23.04: Assembly with the Working Culture Group (AG Arbeitskultur / Work Culture)
30.04: External guest (tba)
07.05: Assembly with the Decolonize / Dance Working Group (AG Decolonize / Dance)
