Tanztheater and contemporary dance are in the center of the artistic vision of TANZ Bielefeld: the season 2022/23 epitomizes this aesthetic vision with guest choreographers such as Lali Ayguadé, Sharon Fridman, Gregor Zöllig und Stephanie Thiersch. In every new season the company seeks to work with diverse dance creators of the present while putting an emphasis on diversity: Not only established choreographers are offered the space and time to develop their work but also young exciting artists picked by the leading team.
On the history of the ensemble
A tradition of nearly two decades of Tanztheater and contemporary dance have contributed to the artistic identity of the ensemble of TANZ Bielefeld, which has been led by Gregor Zöllig from 2005 to 2015 and Simone Sandroni from 2015 to 2022. The artistic diversity of its 10 dancers with different backgrounds and set of skills define the wide performative spectrum of TANZ Bielefeld. The company not only presents three dance production and multiple mediation formats in a season but also three community dance project – the SCHRITTMACHER – since 2007.
