Bottom-up Dance School
KICK-OFF EVENT
The Bottom-Up Dance School fills the vacuum in the Hamburg dance community for an education in contemporary dance. It will offer further education in techniques and working methods and encounters with renowned choreographers and dance professionals. In ten teaching units, the workshop leaders will give insights into their own practices. The first class will be led by Fabrice Mazliah. The training is explicitly aimed at autodidacts and dancers who describe themselves as semi-professional and would like to do dance training.
Free admission after sign-in: tanzbiennale@kampnagel.de (latest: Jan 31), class held in English

Cool Down and Feedback
After a packed, intense week, farewells are imminent. To shape this as a common experience, the Biennale has planned a last, reflexive session on Sunday morning. The start will be a physical cool down at 10:00 am, headed by the choreographer Victoria Hauke. In order to be able to review all events of the past week, the body needs to be awakened, which is what good dancers do. This will occur in the big group of all Biennale participants. Victoria Hauke’s roots in dance are based on release techniques, Tai Chi Chuan, Qi-Gong and yoga; she will use these to enrichen the cool-down session.
In a discussion after the session, all participants will look into the future and imagine what terms and conditions might characterize a network meeting for up-and-coming generations of dancers.

Fusion Dance Battle
ONE ARENA, ALL STYLES
WHERE HIP HOP, CONTEMPORARY, BALLET, VOGUE AND CULTURAL DANCES MEET ON THE SAME DANCE FLOOR
Why is there no battle in contemporary dance? Because there is no competition? Probably not. Within the framework of FOKUS TANZ, Kampnagel together with choreographers Ousmane Sy and Franck Edmond Yao is organizing the first FUSION DANCE BATTLE, a cross-disciplinary dance battle for dancers from all disciplines. In a casting workshop, a jury will select 40 people who will be divided into groups of 5 dancers from different dance genres. In the subsequent battle, the winners will dance together for the victory and receive prize money of €2000.
All Biennale participants from all disciplines are warmly invited to take
part in the battle!
The battle is supported by the Institut français.

AK|T Meeting
PEDAGOGICAL PROFESSIONALISM IN DANCING
This work discussion is particularly directed at the directors and responsible heads of study programs with an emphasis on dance pedagogy and dance mediation. We hereby invite you to take part in this meeting. The work discussion in the context of the 7th Biennale Tanzausbildung 2020 Hamburg among representatives of the AK|T institutions, directors of study programmes in the field of dance pedagogy/dance mediation and representatives of the listed associations would like to go beyond a first description of the status quo and inspire a discourse that also focuses on the challenges in the field of dance pedagogy and dance mediation in vocational and further education. One of the intents of this work group, which reaches across all associations, is to create a discussion forum in a conference (2020/21) to address the further development of the relevant questions and to present and explain new approaches, projects or visions of professionality in dance pedagogy and dance mediation in the 2020/30 decade. In this process, structures relating to qualifications, fields of activity and career opportunities in dance pedagogy and dance mediation stand at the center of the debate.
For AK|T members and representatives of the Dachverband Tanz, the Aktion Tanz – Bundesverband Tanz in Bildung und Gesellschaft e.V. and the Gesellschaft für Tanzforschung e.V.
Moderation: Claudia Feest, with contributions by Marianne Bäcker, Dr. Claudia Fleischle-Braun und Martina Kessel
