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.

Now Forsyth...

How can dancers come together at completely different points in their personal and professional trajectory? "Join" takes a step in this directio...

Last weekend, Ioannis Mandafounis' new creation "A Land Within" celebrated its Frankfurt premiere. In this piece, the audience can move freely through the Bockenheimer Depot, open many doors and immerse themselves in various worlds. Sometimes they look down into a black box, at other times they look upwards while two dancers swing in the air attached to ropes. A common thread running through the ...

Last weekend, the DFDC was invited to Sadler's Wells East London as part of the Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival with the piece "Join"! Together with students from the Rambert School London, our ensemble was on stage and impressed the audience. In September, "Join" celebrated its world premiere in Dresden, where the ensemble performed together with students from the Palucca Univer...

Today, ‘A Land Within’ by Ioannis Mandafounis celebrates its world premiere in Dresden! No fixed stage, no fixed path – just spaces that emerge and disappear as the audience moves through them. Each world has its own energy, each moment a new perspective. The audience decide where they want to stay, what they see and how they connect what they experience. ‘A Land Within’ can be seen this and nex...
