This year we are presenting the Open Call Edition, inviting ALL professionals to take part in the most important meeting for dancers in Germany. An event organised BY DANCERS, FOR DANCERS, a place for meeting old friends and making new connections. A platform to take action towards more fair and supportive working structures. Your expertise is essential!

Every year dancersconnect aims to create a space where you can contribute your own ideas and experiences whilst also gaining further knowledge. - Let’s open up our perspectives to see beyond ourselves as individuals passionate about making art, to look at our industry's bigger picture.

This year will include…

• Talks and participation of several experts in dance related fields such as dance medicine, dance psychology, confidence coaching, stage law and career transition.
• Open spaces where you will have the opportunity to share your own experiences, discuss problems and receive support.
• Working groups where we will strategize how conditions and structures can be made better for dancers, in order to secure the future of our artform and the quality of our art production.
• The opportunity to learn more about dancersconnect. What have we already achieved? What are our goals as an organization? Why is it important for us to take political action? How can you help and become an active member of our community?
• The option to attend a cultural political discussion with guests and to see dancersconnect in action.
