Dance artists from TANZKOOP
OUR TEAM
The TANZKOOP team brings together dance artists who curate, coordinate and contribute their expertise to the various TANZKOOP offerings, taking both an artistic and a cultural-political perspective on the scene. Together they draw on many years of experience and long-standing network connections to international platforms, festivals and companies. They are made up of a management team, in which the partners of the GbR bear the core of responsibility, as well as associated artists from the scene.
