Tanzallianz – A cooperation of the Theater and Orchestra Heidelberg with the UnterwegsTheater Heidelberg

The Theater und Orchester Heidelberg as well as the UnterwegsTheater have made it their joint task to promote dance in the city and in the state. The permanent cooperation of a city theatre with an institution of the independent scene is unique in Germany: in close cooperation with the UnterwegsTheater under the artistic directors Jai Gonzalez and Bernhard Fauser, the Theater Heidelberg, under the direction of Holger Schultze, has already hosted three successful editions of the Tanzbiennale Heidelberg. Supported by the city of Heidelberg, the Manfred Lautenschläger Foundation and the land of Baden-Württemberg, the audience was recently presented with an extensive programme of guest performances by international companies and pioneering choreographers from Baden-Württemberg in 2018.
This fruitful collaboration is continued and expanded under artistic director Iván Pérez.

In addition to the Dance Biennale, the Choreographic Centre Heidelberg (CC) was created. It is a joint project near the HebelHalle, offers talented young choreographers reliable production conditions in residence programmes and makes Heidelberg stand out as the base of contemporary dance art.

united by dance

From 1 to 9 February 2025, Heidelberg will once again be celebrating dance. Together with the UnterwegsTheater Heidelberg, the Heidelberg Theatre and Orchestra is once again bringing international dance stars to the city on the Neckar and offering a platform for Baden-Württemberg's rich and diverse dance scene.
