Look back ´24
Dear audience!
Dear dance friends!
The “9. Internationale Tanztheater Festival” 2024 is behind us. Every two years, it is a great pleasure for us to present contemporary dance in the state capital of Erfurt. Our most recent festival was the most extensive since its inception in 2008. In addition to dance performances, cinema, a photo exhibition and workshops, we also hosted the Federal Network Meeting Dance (Bundesnetzwerktreffen Tanz).
It was wonderful that we were able to win the Theater Erfurt as a venue and the Kinoklub Erfurt as a cooperation partner for an accompanying cinema program. I would like to say a big thank you to our Minister of Culture, Prof. Dr. Benjamin Immanuel Hoff (2024), who has taken on the patronage of our dance theater festival. With his support, he has set an important example for the promotion of culture and dance theater in our society.
Exchange, diversity and choice are concepts that characterized our last festival. We succeeded in promoting the exchange between artists, audiences and professionals and thus creating new impulses for the dance scene. Under the artistic direction of Ester Ambrosino, we set cultural highlights in contemporary dance as a team.
The diversity of the performances reflects the colorful and international dance landscape, which also culminated in this edition in our dance competition “contact.energy’24”. Here, nine choreographies competed for the favor of the judges Sara Simeoni, Eldad Ben Sasson and Ester Ambrosino – and not least for the coveted audience prize. Through the numerous choices in the program and even during the performances – as in “Your Choice” – we offered you the opportunity to create your own personal festival experience. Our festival also served as a networking platform to strengthen existing connections and make new contacts that enrich dance culture in our region and beyond.
I would be delighted if the diversity of our offerings continues to impress in the coming years of our biennial festival. We look forward to your visit and extend a warm welcome to everyone.
I would like to thank all our partners and sponsors, the festival team, the artists and all the helpers, without whom this festival would not be possible.
