tanznord

tanz.nord is an initiative supported by four project partners from Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. The main mission of tanz.nord is to promote regional exchange among dance creators, strengthen the free dance scene in the North, and develop new performance venues outside urban centers. This is achieved by creating a structured cooperation platform that brings together artists from both regions[2].

• Promotion of Dance Projects: tanz.nord supports various dance projects through financial and logistical assistance to enable innovative and creative dance works.
• Networking and Cooperation: The initiative promotes exchange among dance creators to realize joint projects and events.
• Development of New Performance Venues: tanz.nord works to establish dance events in rural and suburban areas to spread dance culture beyond urban centers[2].

• Creating Long-term Structures: By establishing a permanent cooperation structure among the project partners, sustainable support for the dance scene is to be ensured.
• Diversity and Inclusion: tanz.nord advocates for the promotion of diversity and inclusion in the dance scene by supporting artists with different backgrounds and styles.
• Cultural Education: The initiative contributes to cultural education and artistic exchange by organizing workshops, events, and performances that reach both artists and the audience[2].

An example of tanz.nord's activities is the project "TIKKÉ TIKKÉ" by choreographer Mona Farivar, which deals with the tornness between two languages. Such projects showcase the diversity and creativity made possible by the support of tanz.nord[5].

tanz.nord is thus a central actor in the promotion and networking of the dance scene in the North, making a significant contribution to the cultural landscape of the region through its initiatives and projects.
