Tanz im August Podcast #1 – Interconnecting Dance & Ecology

This podcast series is part of the Tanz im August festival, presented by HAU Hebbel am Ufer and this year it takes place from 09th to 26th August in 11 locations in Berlin. On the Tanz im August podcast, various artists from this years’ festival have been invited to participate in an intimate conversation about themselves and their work. Each episode seeks to offer insights into the creative process, uncovering what’s behind the decisions they made and the knowledge they gained along the way. The artists tell listeners about their current and past projects, revealing detailed information about the works that will be on display on numerous stages around Berlin. In this episode we invited the artists that are part of the project “Interconnecting Dance & Ecology” to join the podcast. This project will take place in three diferent parks in Berlin. On 12th August at Park am Gleisdreieck; on 19th August at Stadtpark Lichtenberg and on 26th at Volkspark Rehberge. We asked the artists to reply to the following question: “How do you wish/imagine the connection between Dance & Ecology to be in 12 years from now?“ and here are their answers.
