What is (it) worth ...?
Discursive dialogue series as part of the TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA

30 July - 3 August 2024
Free admission

This year, the question "What is (it) worth ...?" is at the center of TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA's discursive discussion series. Most artistic careers are precarious, working and living conditions are characterized by short-term planning and economic uncertainty. Can public attention, positive reviews and audience success make up for this? What motivates artists to create? And what is the value of art for society? Before the performances, international guests from the dance and performance scene will discuss with local dance makers.

The talks will be held in English.
