2025: Tanztreffen der Jugend
Invitation to the Tanztreffen der Jugend
»touch_taff«, our inclusive youth dance project that opened this year's Tanzbiennale, has been invited to Berlin as one of eight selected choreographies for the 2025 Youth Dance Meeting. It is part of the Berliner Festspiele, and these invitations are one of the most important awards for young dance makers in Germany. The Tanztreffen showcases exemplary and remarkable pieces that find their own themes, either independently or under professional guidance, and translate them into artistic form using contemporary and/or urban movement languages. The Tanztreffen aims to be a showcase and source of inspiration for the work of young dancers and choreographers.
This year's Tanztreffen will take place from 27 September to 3 October 2025.
