Moving Meeting #3
Tanztriennale 2026
MOVING MEETINGS, a new monthly series at the Tanztriennale, invites professional dance practitioners to come together, meet, exchange ideas, ask questions, and look with curiosity at the artistic practices and convictions of others.
Hamburg, the host city of the Tanztriennale, offers an exceptionally diverse dance landscape. It encompasses an astonishing range of styles, generations, and cultures. However, moments of exchange and encounter between dance professionals across different disciplines are rather rare.
With the monthly MOVING MEETINGS, we want to promote dialogue and exchange on topics of current relevance: across the boundaries that often separate the various dance scenes—in an atmosphere of openness and curiosity.
In close cooperation with the partners of the Tanztriennale, the MOVING MEETINGS will begin in June at Kampnagel and continue monthly from September onwards – from place to place, across Hamburg's institutions – until the opening edition of the Tanztriennale next year from June 14 to 21, 2026.
Curious? Then come along – to get moving, meet people, and network.
Free Entrance after registration via email to office@tanztriennale.de

Topic #3: Cultural Dialogue – Navigating with Different Maps
Building on the theme of dance heritage from Moving Meeting #2, the next meeting will focus on the complexities of intercultural exchange – shaped by traditions, artistic heritage, and contexts that differ from our own.
How do we find our bearings when we start from different experiences and frames of reference? What helps us align our own compass – and what does it take to reveal paths to respectful and inspiring collaboration?
To kick off the meeting, we will start with a warm-up by Anand Dhanakoti, dancer and choreographer, trained in Indian martial arts and yoga at Kalari Gurukulam. We will then hear from Gwen Hsin-Yi Chang, co-artistic director of the Dance Triennial, about the questions that accompany her as she moves between Asian and European cultural landscapes.
This will be followed by Arco Renz, choreographer, dramaturg, and initiator of Monsoon, a platform for European and Asian collaboration that challenges conventional stereotypes through collaborative exploration and discussion of different cultural and sociopolitical contexts.
