DanceKiosk-Hamburg 2014

A platform for contemporary dance in Hamburg

October, 14th to 25th 2014


Angela Guerreiro is the permanent pioneer in the Hamburg independent dance community.
 (Klaus Witzeling, H. Abendblatt, 30.06.2015)

 The festival DanceKiosk-Hamburg dedicated its 2014 Edition to the journalist Klaus Witzeling, who has left us forever. His reflections, concerns and constant support of the independent dance community in Hamburg were one of the most valuable contributions for its implementation, strengthening and recognition. Klaus Witzeling assisted to the beginning of DanceKiosk-Hamburg in 2005 and fought for its existence.

 Das Besondere an ihm war vielleicht eben dies: Er ließ sich tatsächlich überraschen. Er war tatsächlich neugierig. Er gehörte nie, auch nicht nach so vielen Jahren in diesem Beruf, zu jenen Kritikern, die abgeklärt auf den nächsten Verriss zusteuern. (...) Klaus war anders. Er hat das Theater geliebt, und er hat es gelebt. Weil er musste – weil es ihn selbst dazu drängte. (...) An Respekt, an Hochachtung vor dem Können hinter der Vorstellung und dem Mut, sie so und nicht anders auf die Bühne zu bringen, fehlte es ihm nicht.    (Maike Schiller, H. Abendblatt, 01.10.2013)

We will miss him at the festival forever.


DanceKiosk-Hamburg takes place from October, 14th to 25th 2014 on the stage of our co-operation partner Hamburger Sprechwerk. In 2014 the festival invited international with the performances EndResult (Dieter Defurne, Belgium) Matilda Carlota (Jonas Lopes and Lander Patrick, Portugal) and BRIDGE (Julian Barnett, USA). The Hamburg dance community has in six evenings a platform to present their new projects: Philipp van der Heijden with his awarded project Before it continues please turn off the light darling, Ursina Tossi with We’ve got to get in to get out, Lotte Müller with her amusing production Relaxa©Tion among others.

Under the frame of the exchange with festival tanz.tausch, which presents contemporary dance projects from different German regions, DanceKiosk-Hamburg invites Silke Z. (Düsseldorf) to show her newest production Subtexten. Ursina Tossi will represent Hamburg performing in Cologne at the festival tanz.tausch at the Alte Feuerwache, on November this year.

The festival DanceKiosk-Hamburg 2014 takes under its roof the project SURVIVING DANCE – Art, Economy and Politics. An expert jury selected the residents by Franziska Henschel (Black Box), Jonas Woltemate (Jakob K.C) and Rebecca Egeling  (Experiment).
