2022

Beginning 2022 with new expansions, TANZAHOi hosted its first ever festival tour in Taipei with the launch of its Taiwan Bottle Post program. An extension of the main festival program in September, the touring concept was focused around academic seminars from researchers in the field of dance and film. Professionals like Po-Wei Wang of the Digital Art Center, Taipei and Kerstin Hamburg of TANZRAUSCHEN hosted discussions that drew examples from and brought focus on the dance films and dance streams from TANZAHOi’s 2021 program, which were screened alongside the seminars for live and virtual audiences.

2021

TANZAHOi hosted the first live dance film festival in Hamburg. The main program with the selected films from the year‘s open call was presented in Metropolis Kino accompanied by 3 live-streamed performances from Italy, Greece, and Mozambique.

The Panorama Special Program brought both a live and a virtual audience to the Kraftwerk Bille Kesselhalle, where the premier of BARDO was presented along with dance films and a 360 degree virtual experience from festival collaborators.

2020

In September 2020 we hosted our first digital festival and also our very first International Dance Film Festival! With over 20 films from artists across the world, we brought the artists and our audience together via Livestream across three platforms over the course of the festival weekend. Each evening was accompanied by an artist talk via Zoom, sparking more international exchange opportunities.

2019

Again offering dance workshops in cooperation with Hochschulsport Hamburg, a network between the international artists and the dancers in Hamburg began to form, opening the way for further expansion of international dance exchange in the city in 2020 and beyond.
