Last season, we toured with our pieces in many countries, including the Netherlands. Three of our pieces were invited to the Julidans Amsterdam Festival in July, one of which was "Join" by Ioannis Mandafounis. This was already the sixth city in which the piece was shown, and our ensemble shared the stage with dance students, this time with dancers from the Amsterdam University of the Arts. Find o...

We look back on our 24/25 season and thus on a year in which improvisation, spontaneity and "Saying Yes" set the tone. We opened the season with "Join" by Ioannis Mandafounis, a climate-conscious large-scale production in which professionals and students took to the stage together and which has already been enthusiastically received in Dresden, Frankfurt and on guest performances from Antwerp to ...

Wir haben den Künstler Eike Dingler zu der Entwicklung unserer neuen Saison-Kampagne 25/26 befragt. Was zeichnet deine künstlerische Arbeit aus? Ich nehme Dinge, baue etwas daraus, arrangiere sie, fotografiere das Ergebnis – die Dinge verändern sich durch die Kombination, bekommen eine andere Bedeutung, erzählen etwas. Oft ist dabei auch eine humorvolle Komponente im Spiel. Deine Bilder entsteh...

The DFDC has been invited to the renowned Julidans Amsterdam Festival with three pieces and a performance!

Next week, we will present the double bill "Mandafounis / Forsythe" twice. William Forsyt...

We have launched our programme for the season 25/26 and would like to warmly invite you to join us! We are leaving the stage, we are investigating dance history, we are making magic! We dedicate our work to improvisation and live choreography. Within our cosmos, we seek out opportunities and encourage a mindset of meeting each other and growing together every day anew. “Yesness” is one of our prin...

The visual motifs with which we present our programme are shaped by a different artistic signature each season. By inviting different artists to give each season a unique look, we present our development as one of continuity-through-change. This principle becomes increasingly apparent when comparing the visual motifs of several years. This year, we worked together with the artist Eike Dingler.

Yesterday, our double bill "Forsythe / Hauert" celebrated its Frankfurt premiere at the Schauspiel Frankfurt! We presented the new works by William Forsythe and Thomas Hauert to a sold-out house. It was a very special evening, as Forsythe was director of the Frankfurt Ballet from 1984 to 2004 and of The Forsythe Company, later renamed Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company, from 2005 to 2015. Now Forsyth...

We have been waiting a long time for this evening, and yesterday it finally happened: the double bill "Forsythe / Hauert" celebrated its sold-out world-premiere at the Festspielhaus HELLERAU with two new creations by William Forsythe and Thomas Hauert. It was a great pleasure to rehearse with the two guest choreographers over the past few months and we are already looking forward to the Frankfurt...

The season is coming to an end, but before we start our summer break, the DFDC Ensemble is going on tour with familiar and new works. We are delighted to be part of the Julidans Amsterdam Festival with our double bill "Mandafounis / Forsythe" and "Join". How can dancers come together at completely different points in their personal and professional trajectory? "Join" takes a step in this directio...
