TANZ & ELTERNSCHAFT

The Work Room, Glasgow and Tanzbüro München have launched this project with the aim of establishing a long-term exchange and creative collaboration between independent choreographers in Scotland and Germany. The international exchange project Meeting Points is the first cooperation between Tanzbüro München and The Work Room/Glasgow.

2024 Meeting Points enters a new round! You can find all information below.

Meeting Points III – Artists

The selection for the third round of the cooperation project between The Work Room, Glasgow, and Tanzbüro München was not easy: out of 27 impressive applications, we decided on the following four artists:

Kathrin Knöpfle and Matteo Carvone will take part from Munich and, together with the Scottish dance artists Salma Faraji and Malcom Sutherland, will use the third round of the Meeting Points project to be able to exchange ideas without the usual production pressure. The first meeting will take place in Munich in March 2024, followed by a trip to Glasgow in May 2024.

Das Symposium offenbarte ein differenziertes Bild der Realität von Care-Arbeit in der freien Tanzszene. Es zeigte sich deutlich und alarmierend, dass strukturelle Ungleichheiten nach wie vor bestehen, dass jedoch kreative, solidarische und wissenschaftlich fundierte Lösungsansätze auch in finanziell restriktiven Zeiten wie diesen entwickelt werden können. Eine verstärkte und nachhaltige Sichtbarmachung des Themas in unterschiedlichen Kontexten sahen die Teilnehmenden als elementare Voraussetzung für die angestrebten Veränderungen.
