Discussion sessions with Petra Roggel und Jochen Roller

During the GERMAN DANCE PLATFORM 2010 professional visitors are invited to take part in discussion sessions with Petra Roggel (spokesperson, Goethe Institute Munich), Jochen Roller (jury member of the GERMAN DANCE PLATFORM 2010 and choreographer) and other invited guests on the themes of content, aesthetics and structures within the German dance scene. These sessions, which are mainly directed at non-european visitors, should highlight the productions presented at the Dance Platform, putting them into context. In dialogue with their audience, Petra Roggel and Jochen Roller will ask whether dance in Germany has a specific character and perhaps come nearer to finding an answer.

Nationales Performance Netz

Promoting contemporary dance in Germany – Presentation of the funding opportunities created by the National Performance Network.

The National Performance Network (NPN) supports contemporary dance productions and their distribution within Germany, on the one hand providing grants for guest performances, on the other providing funding for co-productions.

Support for guest performances is aimed primarily at presenters, who can apply to the NPN for funding to cover the cost of expenses which may occur, when inviting a production from another German federal state.

The co-production funding supports international co-productions as well as co-productions set up between the "old" and the "new" Federal States.

The guest performance support 2010 is funded by the German Federal Government ( Commission for Culture and Media) and by the Cultural and Arts Ministries of the Federal States. The co-production grants are funded by the Federal Cultural Foundation.
