Art remains many* | DIE VIELEN

Solidarity instead of privileges. It's about everyone. Art remains free! The fight against right-wing extremism, right-wing populism and anti-democratic voices is getting organised, becoming louder and standing up for cohesion, diversity, commitment, empowerment and solidarity against division, disenfranchisement, exclusion, deportation, repression and violence. This is what DIE VIELEN and WE stand for!

About us

The biennial festival tanz nrw presents a wide range of choreographic positions from North Rhine-Westphalia and reflects the diversity of the regional dance scene on several levels: it invites artistic works from the fields of dance / performance / choreography and includes the genres of contemporary and urban dance art, performance and contemporary circus, digital live formats as well as intergenerational and inclusive works - from up-and-coming artists to experienced choreographers. What all forms of dance have in common is the contemporary approach in terms of the political, social and aesthetic relevance of the artistic dialogue. An important concern of the festival is a resource-friendly use of production material and to continuously work on improving the accessibility of the festival programme.

The festival creates cross-connections - between cities, formats and discourses. The resulting spaces become places of exchange and mediation - between the artists, the organisers and the audience.
