TANZFONDS ERBE EXTENDED

TANZFONDS ERBE (Dance Heritage Fund) has made an important contribution to the preservation of our European dance heritage, sparking a renewed interest in dance history among artists and audiences alike. Although the fund closed in 2019, there are numerous exciting initiatives, concepts and projects that continue to engage with dance heritage in many different ways. In addition to dealing with signature pieces and pioneering protagonists of dance history, artists and institutions are often concerned with (alternative) practices of archiving and the question of what is passed on to whom - also concerning their own artistic heritage.

With TANZFONDS ERBE extended we are offering an open platform that will document these projects and initiatives, adding a European and an international dimension to the digital dance archive tanzfonds.de.
