SYNAESTHETIX #1
A parcours of dance performances, music acts and visuals
October 29, 2024
19.30 H
Muffathalle
SYNAESTHETIX is a new, hybrid and multimedia art event as part of ACCESS TO DANCE. Movement, music, sounds, video and live generated visuals blend into an immersive experience for all the senses. New artistic alliances arise between dance performance, concert, DJ set, media art and club night. High-profile international and local artists from a wide range of disciplines take the audience on a journey into (their own) synaesthetic experience. The live acts will turn into clubbing, allowing the audience to conquer the space themselves - dancing, dreaming, eXstatic.
TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA
From July 30 to August 9, 2024, JOINT ADVENTURES presented the 33rd TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA. The top-class workshop program showed contemporary dance in all its diversity. International professionals and dance lovers of all levels, ages and physical abilities came to the 5- or 10-day workshops - whether they wanted to explore and develop their dance skills, get to know new techniques and artistic approaches, work intensively with choreographers or seek balance in somatic classes such as Tai Chi Dao-Yin and Feldenkrais.
The evening performances featured the latest styles and aesthetics of internationally renowned artists researching contemporary dance and the interface with other art forms. In 2024, JOINT ADVENTURES presented a new production of Felix Ruckert's “RING”, the world premiere of “Shard” by Munich choreographer Ceren Oran, the first performance in German-speaking countries of Raquel Gualtero's “Panorama”, the German premiere of Alma Söderberg's solo “New Old” and productions by Ingrid Berger Myhre, Bassam Abou Diab, Ayelen Parolin and Meg Stuart. At the OPEN STAGE, up-and-coming choreographers Paul Behren, Gloria Berghäuser/ Polina Samoidiuk, Sofia Casprini, Evgeniya Glazunova, Sem Houmes/ Rowan van den Boomen/ Aleyna Demir/ Anais Mauri, Ji Jie and Hannah Schillinger were given the opportunity to show their work.

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:

The programme serves as an orientation in the future international working environment, even before dance training has been completed. In an atmosphere of exchange and encounters, you can not only network with other students, but also get to know choreographers from current artistic practice. SOLID GROUND is entering its fifth round this summer and will take place during the first half of TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA.
