Pop Up Exchange

TanzNetzDresden ⎜ Tanznetz Freiburg  ⎜ ID_Tanzhaus Frankfurt Rhein-Main ⎜ tanz_netzwerk_bremen

POP UP exchange is going into a second round: with our established presentation format POP UP, we are seeking exchanges this time with members of Tanznetz Freiburg, tanz_netzwerk_bremen, and ID_Tanzhaus Frankfurt Rhein-Main.

POP UP formats are diverse and unique in both content and structure. They represent TanzNetzDresden as a network of a heterogeneous, professionally active independent dance scene in the city of Dresden. With the POP UPs, we continually initiate new inner-city collaborations, bringing dance to places that have not yet experienced it.

For POP UP exchange 2024, we are seeking one performer each from Freiburg, Frankfurt, and Bremen, three performers from Dresden.

For the POP UP exchange, the three Dresden performers will each be paired with an out-of-town guest performer, likely someone they have not worked with before. These three performance duos, inspired and surprised by the new artistic exchange, will create small POP UP performances. These are explicitly not rehearsed works but improvisations inspired by scores, chosen music, or similar arrangements.

October 25 is arrival day, we will get together for dinner and a getting to know each other. Later in the evening, we will attend the Studio Round at TENZA with contributions from Dresden, Freiburg and Frankfurt. On October 26, there is studio time for warm-up,  rehearsals, try outs and afterwards the POP UP exchanges will take place during in Dresden at various locations. End of day approx. 4 pm.  (A double application with a contribution to the Studio Round Edition in Dresden is therefore not possible).

The event will be documented and made available to the participants afterward. An honorarium of €350 per contribution per person will be paid. For artists from outside Dresden, travel and accommodation for 1-2 nights will also be covered. Further details will be discussed individually.

The deadline for submissions is September 10, 2024 at 11:59 p.m.

The submission should include the following: 

  • Motivation explanation (in what form does the format appeal to you)
  • Contact: First name, last name, street and house number, postal code and city, e-mail address, telephone number
  • Pronouns
  • References in the form of image and video material (please only links, no downloads).
