On 08.06. the Tanzkongress 2019 with DOWN BY THE WATER opens its doors for everyone:
After a common ritual in HELLERAU, Dresden artists* will lead on different paths to the banks of the Elbe and to the steamship “Countess Cosel”.

At 2 pm, artistic interventions by Daniel Cremer, Isabel Lewis, Lucie Tuma, TanzNetzDresden and many others will begin next to a garden being created on the sun deck. In the evening, the queer collectives Lecken (Berlin) and mina (Lisbon) invite you to a club night at objekt klein a (tickets 12 € at the box office).
In advance, Xavier Le Roy and Scarlet Yu offer workshops with “Still Untitled@Tanzkongress2019” to jointly develop a work of art for public space.

For Tanzkongress 2019, choreographer Meg Stuart is developing an assembly format that will address contemporary dance issues in a practical and collaborative way. From June 5 to 10, around 500 dance professionals will try out various physical practices, discuss philosophical and scientific concepts and consider political activism from different times and places in order to find inspiration for contemporary dance.
