On the occasion of the revision of the “General Instructions for the Promotion of Privately Organized Theaters and Theater/Dance Groups in Berlin” in 2018, Tanzbüro Berlin, together with ZTB - Zeitgenössischer Tanz Berlin e.V. and the TanzRaumBerlin network, developed recommendations for reforming Berlin's funding system for independent performing arts/dance.
Since 2014, this process has been driven forward by regular working meetings between the above-mentioned partners and with the participation of dancers and choreographers, resulting in a comprehensive paper that was submitted to the Berlin Cultural Administration in March 2017. In cooperation with the latter, a workshop on the General Instructions was held in the summer of 2017 (new title “Administrative regulations for the promotion of privately organized theaters and production venues, groups, and individual artists in the fields of dance, performing arts, and performing arts in Berlin from July 1, 2018”), which incorporated the recommendations of the individual disciplines.
The corresponding paper on the reform of the funding structure in the field of dance can be found here.
