Dance Promotion

  • What actually is ‘contemporary dance’?
  • How do choreographers work?
  • How do choreographers develop concepts, how do they turn them into ‘pieces’?
  • Which physical and dance techniques are current approaches in the genre of dance based on?
  • How is contemporary dance reflected in culture and cultural sciences, in dance/performance theory and in the history of dance? How do these approaches show in artistic practice?
  • What are the relationships between current trends in dance and those in other art forms?
  • How can we talk about dance? How can we ‘read’ choreography?

K3 wants to ask these and other questions as part of Tanzplan Hamburg. With various forms of presentation – such as pre- and post-performance talks, workshops, lecture presentations and discussions - K3 would like to invite dance professionals and everyone else who is interested in dance to discuss and reflect on contemporary dance, its artistic approaches and its thematic and theoretical connections.

Moving Heads - Talks about Choreography

In the season 08/09, K3 started Moving Heads, a series of talks which is focussing on the interfaces between dance, choreography and performance as an artistic experience and theoretical discussion, considering as well the aesthetic, historic and socio-political background.

K3 Dance Youth Club

In September 2007 the ‘K3 Dance Youth Club’ started with a weekly training (Wednesdays, 18:00 till 20:00, K3 studios). Under the direction of Friederike Lampert (Hamburg), who is not only firmly based in dance education and dance studies but also works as a choreographer, the club presented several productions on the stage.

The Youth Club is free and open to everyone.

If you want to find out more about the Youth Club, please contact Friederike Lampert: lampert@tanzbildung.de or tanzplan@kampnagel.de

‘K3 – Centre for Choreography/Tanzplan Hamburg’ is also a project partner of ‘Step by Step’, created by Bürgerstiftung Hamburg (Citizens’ Initiative Hamburg). Friederike Lampert will take on the dance educational and choreographic work at one of the schools participating in this project.
