TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA
From August 5 to 15, 2025, JOINT ADVENTURES presents the 35th TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA. The high-profile workshop program showcases contemporary dance in all its diversity. International professional and amateur dancers can explore and develop their dance skills, get to know new techniques and artistic approaches, work intensively with choreographers or find balance in somatic classes. Regardless of background, physical abilities and age – TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA has something for everyone.
The evening performances feature current styles and aesthetics by internationally renowned choreographers. This year, JOINT ADVENTURES presents pieces by Aurora Bauzà & Pere Jou, Ian Kaler, Moritz Ostruschnjak, Hannah Schillinger, Jefta van Dinther and Ultima Vez / Wim Vandekeybus, among others. The format "WHO'S NEXT? - OPEN STAGE" features promising young artists. The complete performance program will be published in July 2025.

NATIONALES
PERFORMANCE
NETZ
NATIONALES PERFORMANCE NETZ (NPN) is a funding program. It supports the mobility of contemporary artistic work on a national, European and international level. Funding is provided for guest performances in the field of dance and theatre within Germany. In the field of dance, funding is available for productions that are touring abroad. The creation of new dance productions is also supported.
With STEPPING OUT, the NPN is part of the NEUSTART KULTUR support programme of the Federal Government and promotes new artistic ways of presenting dance.
With the Impulse Fund for Dance & Theatre, new, cross-federal state collaborations are promoted that open up the potential for development and enable new “tangents” of cooperation.

STEPPING
OUT
NPN-STEPPING OUT, a NEUSTART KULTUR initiative of the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, has now seen its fifth and probably final round of allocations. Thanks to a further increase in funding, another 164 projects can be subsidized with a total of around 5.1 million euros. The focus is on projects that open up analog, digital or media-based public spaces as well as new performative spaces and fields of artistic practice for dance.
The total project budget of NPN-STEPPING OUT thus amounts to approximately 18.5 million euros, which enabled a total of 555 projects in the field of independent contemporary dance during the pandemic. In the fifth round, the jury, consisting of Sabine Leucht (critic, Bavaria), Sven Till (artistic director fabrik Potsdam, Brandenburg) and Christian Watty (artistic director euro-scene Leipzig, Saxony), approved 56 percent of the projects submitted. A total of 291 applicants submitted their project ideas – an overwhelmingly high number!
An overview listing all projects that have been funded in the fifth round can be found here:
