The GERMAN DANCE PLATFORM is backed by all the institutions which have previously hosted it and which are working to support and promote contemporary dance in Germany:
Theater Freiburg is responsible for organising the next edition of Tanzplattform Deutschland. Since the Dance Platform Germany 2006 in Stuttgart, the most important festival for contemporary dance in Germany will take place again in Baden-Württemberg after over 16 years. From 21/02/24 - 25/02/24, the city of Freiburg will be transformed into the centre of the current dance scene!
The jury of the Tanzplattform Deutschland 2024 has selected a total of ten particularly remarkable dance and performance productions from over 550 submitted works. Only productions that had their premiere between the beginning of September 2021 and the end of August 2023 were considered in the viewing process.
The submission period for productions for the Tanzplattform Deutschland 2024 ended on 31.08.23. It is now no longer possible to submit productions for the jury's review. Productions with a premiere date after 31.8.23 will be reviewed by the jury of the next Tanzplattform Deutschland 2026. To ensure that no data is lost, those pieces that will only be reviewed by the next jury can be submitted already now by email to submission.tanzplattform2024@theater.freiburg.de. For further questions, please contact the team of the Tanzplattform Deutschland 2024.
The 2024 jury includes:
Adriana Almeida Pees & Juliane Kiss
Alexander Ernst
Bernhard Siebert
Carmen Kovacs
Mateusz Szymanówka

The International Theatre Institut - German Centre (ITI) was commissioned by the organisers of the GERMAN DANCE PLATFORM to build up a permanent archive in the internet. Follow the links to get information on artists and companies of contemporary dance in Germany, their careers and productions since 1990.
In this way, an archive of contemporary dance in Germany has been created in which the work contexts and work biographies of outstanding artists and companies of independent contemporary dance can be traced over the years. The archive was taken over by the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland in 2019 and is being updated and expanded.
