DANCE 2015: Tanztendenz
art lodge munich

> schwere reiter

concepts of art and space

As part of DANCE 2015, Tanztendenz will establish a temporary project and workspace – art lodge munich – to present and discuss the multifaceted history of creating artistic space in the community in a programme featuring readings, activities, film presentations and discourse.

Space is understood here as the result of choreographic thinking in multiple ways – not only stage design but also the form and creation of actual work structures and spaces. Using two sample positions as a starting point, international models will be presented and discussed in dialogue with Munich choreographers:
Jan Ritsema will present the Performing Arts Forum (PAF), an informal institution initiated and maintained by the artists, theoreticians, practitioners and activists themselves.
Laurent Van Kote, international performing arts consultant for the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, will address structure building for dance in France.

As a staged workspace, art lodge munich highlights the actual spatial interface of a field of thought, the open structure of which inspires reflection and debate in artists and visitors. It also reflects the special role that schwere reiter plays in art and dance production at this location and in this city. Tanztendenz, an association “of artists for artists”, runs the schwere reiter as a self-managing venue located in the city’s future creative quarter.
The association Tanztendenz München has been in existence since 1987 as a unique interest group in Germany for contemporary dance.
Those interested are invited to take part in a tour of the site on Dachauer Straße with Werner Schmitz (from the arts and culture office of the city of Munich) and Prof. Sophie Wolfrum (department of urban development and regional planning at Technische Universität München) directly after the discussion.

In the days following, art lodge munich will also be open for two and a half hours before DANCE festival performances at schwere reiter:

Sunday, May 10, 13:30 – 15:30 pm
Wednesday, May 13, 16:30 – 18:30 pm
