NEWS Nano Giants Premiere
NANO GIANTS is a journey through a theatrical wonderland where we explore the value of community. It is about simple but fundamental questions of human life: Are we small or big, in relation to what and whom? What can we do alone, what only together? Do we move or are we moved?
On 1 October our new production for young audiences will start at a historic location: Mary Wigman's rehearsal hall in Dresden! Realised in cooperation with Tanzpakt Dresden / HELLERAU and PACT Zollverein Essen.
NEWS space | lab encounters are starting!
On 22 March 2021 our lecture and workshop series space | lab encounters will start! Our first guests are Cindy Hammer and Magdalena Weniger from TanzNetzDresden e.V., with whom we will talk about self-organisation of artists and lobbying for the independent scene in both cities together with colleagues from IG Tanz Essen.
