The Tanztheater Erfurt e. V. is a contemporary dance and cultural association that was founded in 2007 by the dancer and choreographer Ester Ambrosino.
profile
The Tanztheater Erfurt is the first dance school and dance company in Erfurt that deals with contemporary , modern dance and theatrical stage dance . The association was founded in 2007 by the dancer and choreographer Ester Ambrosino and currently has around 350 members. Its aim is to create a professional platform for dance theater as well as a training center with dance pedagogical offers.
Since 2008, the Tanztheater Erfurt, as the organizer of the International Dance Theater Festival, has invited international dance groups to Erfurt every two years and thus offers insights into the current dance and dance theater scene. Current environmental , social and societal issues as well as aspects of social interaction are taken up under a changing festival theme. As part of the festival, the international choreography competition “contact.energy” for contemporary dance has been established since 2012 , where young talent from all over the world can present their pieces and are rewarded with prize money and an audience award.
Productions
The stage productions of the dance company deal critically with socio-politically relevant topics. Tanztheater Erfurt cooperates with various cultural institutions in Erfurt and Thuringia and is present in the Thuringian cultural landscape with annual performances and its own productions. No fixed ensemble is available for the productions, but is put together on a case-by-case basis. In addition, the "Junior Company" has established itself, which performs its productions on national stages or festivals. It is also used to perform plays for children and young people. Since there is no permanent venue of its own, new venues in Erfurt and the surrounding area are used for each production. Since 2018 the Tanztheater Erfurt and its cooperation partners DNT Weimar and Theater Erfurt have been funded with joint productions as part of the TANZPAKT Stadt-Land-Bund.
