Individual advice

At our email address beratungnoSpam@tanzbuero-berlin.de, we are available for all questions relating to your professional dance work (overview of the Berlin dance landscape, its actors, institutions and funding instruments, funding opportunities for a specific project idea, making your own work visible, budget, contract and insurance issues, etc.). Depending on your needs and capacities, we can provide advice in writing, by telephone or in a personal meeting (usually online). If necessary, we will refer you to specialist advisors from our pool of experts. For capacity reasons, it is not possible to provide concrete support for a project during the application process (support with text work, financing plans); we are happy to refer you to dramaturges and production managers.

We usually get back to you promptly within 3-4 days by email or telephone.

Tanzbüro workshops

We hold regular group workshops on topics relevant to freelance dancers, and themes which regularly come up during individual advice sessions. Experts in various professions run these workshops on topics such as application writing, budgeting/billing, touring/networking, press/public relations, the Artists' Social Security Fund/insurance, etc.
