FESTIVALS

2024 - The TANZFORUM

From 3 to 6 October 2024, the Tanzplattform Leipzig will hold its second festival, the TANZFORUM, which will once again combine performances and workshops and focus on interdisciplinarity, participatory formats and the plurality of artistic and aesthetic approaches.

During the festival, the artists Vasiliki Bara, Shai Faran, Martina Hefter, Niko Jacobi, Patrice Lipeb, Yamile Navarro, Mandy Unger and Gui Yuexuan offered an exploration of their working methods. Through more than 25 hours of workshops, performances, open-floor evenings and exchange formats, which were conceived in cooperation with Tessa Theisen and Angelika Waniek from the initiative you are warmly invited and with Helena Wöflf, the festival's participants and visitors were invited to rediscover dance and performance.

This second edition of a festival by the Leipzig Dance Platform was supported by the Cultural Office of the City of Leipzig, the Leipzig Stiftung and the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony and made possible by collaborations with local and regional institutions: the Residenz (Schauspiel Leipzig), the LOFFT-DAS THEATER, TanzNetztDresden, the Schaubühne Lindenfels, and Heizhaus Leipzig.

2022 - The WORKSHOPFESTIVAL

In October 2022, 4fT – Tanzplattform Leipzig held its first Dance & Performance Festival. The overwhelming response and encouragement from almost 600 visitors and participants confirmed that it was precisely this kind of festival at the interface between participation and art, between discussion and performance, between openness and concentration, between regionality and internationality that filled a gap in the Saxon dance scene.
