Press Conference: Tanzplan Deutschland
Announcement was made, of the selection of participating cities (Bremen, Dresden, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Essen, Hamburg, Munich and Potsdam.
Berlin was awarded start-up-financing from the Tanzplan Educational Project Fund, to develop a Co-operative Educational Centre for Dance under the Tanzplan Local program, by the board of Tanzplan Deutschland.
Financing has thus been awarded to a wide variety of dance initiatives, all focusing on various forms of mediation. Education is being expanded in various forms, ranging from research (Essen), to the development of high-quality dance education for children and teenagers (Düsseldorf), to the integration of dance in schools (München), and to professional education and coaching (Frankfurt). A new Centre for Choreographic Development (Hamburg), artists-in-residence programs (Potsdam and Hamburg) and the founding of a new dance ensemble (Dresden) are also planned, all with the possibility of post-graduate dance education in mind.
The strengthening of the ties of dance to state theatres (Bremen) has been considered as well as the consolidation of the off-scene (in all cities).
Tanzplan Deutschland’s total budget over the course of 5 years (2006-2010) amounts to € 12.5M, € 6.4M of which are being allocated to the Tanzplan Local–iniatives. € 15.5M have been mobilised through co-financing from the cities or regions as well as third-party funds.
