update
b12 and the future
dear b12ers,
we hope this finds you well, in spite of the restrictions we all face.
as you know, b12 is dedicated to serving the field of contemporary dance and performance art and will continue to do so. we care about our community and feel that we also have a responsibility for all the people involved in b12 when it comes to their health.
the current developments we see happening in the world are very unpredictable and at this point in time we don't think that there is a safe and responsible way of handling a dance and performance art festival at any point during this summer, especially with the magnitude of b12 as it continues to grow.
it breaks our heart and we regret to inform you that after hoping and debating we now believe it is the best for everybody's well-being to not proceed with b12's 2020 edition.
we know that you would also like to be here in the summer and make b12 as vibrant as it always is. this year unfortunately is a different year.
we hope you will support the responsibility we took in this decision and understand that this is not something we took lightly. we are looking positively into the future and will work hard to find the overall support to make b12 2021 happen.

as many artists and arts institutions suffer in the current situation and struggle to maintain their existence, we too are facing rough times. if you are in the position to give, please consider donating to a festival which is striving for a very high level of professionalism in the field of contemporary dance and performance art. b12 is a crucial place for artists to research; we established ourselves from the beginning as a festival like no other, and have now become a cornerstone of the performing arts world. please help us to keep on going! every little bit counts and making a donation just takes a few seconds. thank you!
you can still have a look at the website right here to explore b12 2020. we closed the application process and will re-open it along with the new line-up of artists for 2021 in mid december 2020.
only time will tell when we are all able to move freely again, so we would like to make an offer to the b12 community to connect and keep spirits high!
camilla brogaard has been kind enough to voluntarily support b12 and teach a weekly yoga class through zoom online for professional dancers. many of you will know her from last year, teaching daily yoga here at b12. as a very dedicated member of our family, it's our pleasure to have camilla on board.
the class will last 75 minutes and will be available every friday at 4pm CEST / 10am EDT / 10pm CST (ASIA), starting friday may 1st.
this class is free of charge!
the link for each class will be provided through our newsletter the day before and all you have to do is click on it shortly before the class starts. please understand that zoom has a limit of 100 participants.
we hope you will be able to join us and feel reconnected as we look forward to the future!
rest assured we are here for you for any question you might have.
we are you!
stay healthy,

how do i pay for my workshops?
there are three ways to pay your workshop fee: a regular bank transfer, via paypal, or through transferwise.
can i pay my fee in person in berlin?
we don’t accept cash at the venue. please make sure that you pay for your workshops in advance.
what happens if i miss my payment deadline?
unfortunately, we will no longer be able to hold your spot in the workshop and it might be offered to another applicant.
can i apply for a scholarship?
this year b12 is granting 10 full scholarships for its 2020 edition for dancers/performers who are coming from the following countries: Haiti, nicaragua, honduras, bolivia, el salvador, guatemala, guyana, belize, jamaica and paraguay. we will give away one scholarship to one dancer/performer of each one of these countries. the scholarship lasts six days and includes three 4 day workshops or an equivalent, housing for the entire week and a travel stipend of 300 euro. dancers/performers have to apply with the following documents: proof of citizenship and residency, two letters of recommendation, a biography, a video of them performing, a letter of motivation. applicants must indicate the week they would like to come, the workshops they are interested in taking, and an explanation as to why they can't afford to come without a scholarship (all documents in english). the application deadline is march 27th 2020.
please send your application to:
researchordie[at]b12.space
we look forward to receiving your application!
what is the "waiting pool"?
when a workshop fills up, we create a second "pool" of applicants. if a place opens up, we will offer the spot to one of the applicants in the "waiting pool".
I might not be available for all the days of the workshops. can i still apply?
if you already know that you have a conflict, please do not apply for these workshops. we look for people who can commit to the entire duration of the workshops.
I don’t have a video link - can i still apply?
it is obligatory to send us a video link because it provides us with an important perspective of you. if you don't have a representative video link, you can still apply, but it will be much harder for us to grant you a spot.
do i need to write an individual motivation letter for each of the workshops i apply for?
no, but if you want to help with our decision making process, you can write a motivation paragraph for each workshop application.
can i drop into or swap a workshop once i am in berlin? or if i have more energy - can I take another workshop?
because of many factors, b12 needs advance registration for its workshops. we need to know before the berlin sessions begin. you cannot swap right before or after a workshop has started. if you stop participating in your registered workshop, you are not eligible for a refund. if you want to take another workshop instead, you have to apply and be admitted again and pay the full workshop fee for the new workshop - and then you can participate.
i have been accepted to a workshop. can i change to another workshop?
you have to cancel the original workshop and apply again to the new one. the cancellation policy will apply.
how many people are in each workshop?
the group size can vary from 7 to 40 people. this depends on both the size of the studio and the type of workshop given.
in what language are the workshops held?
all the professional workshops are held in english.
what happens if a workshop is cancelled?
raumstation 12 gbr, as the organizer, or b12, is entitled to cancel and/or discontinue a course in the case of insufficient participant numbers or due to force majeure. course fees will then be refunded either in full or on a pro-rata basis if a course is discontinued after its commencement. in the event that a course instructor is not available, the organizer is entitled to provide an equivalent substitute. however, course participants are then also entitled to cancel their registration for the replacement course with a 100% refund of the course fee. in any case, participants waive any claims against the organizer for refunds of any other costs, such as travel and accommodation costs.
what happens when i cancel a workshop?
notice of cancellation must be given in writing to be valid. the full amount, apart from a ten euro administrative fee, is refunded to the participant if registration is cancelled up to 45 days before the workshop commences. half of the workshop fee per workshop is refunded if registration is cancelled 30 to 44 days before the workshop commences. one quarter of the workshop fee per workshop is refunded if registration is cancelled 14 to 29 days before the workshop commences. no fee is refunded if registration is cancelled less than 14 days before the workshop commences and/or if the participant fails to attend or discontinues participation.
are there any performances at the b12 festival to watch?
yes, b12 is devoted to curating controversial performances and hosting different types of performance approaches:
asteroids: b12 will present this very sought after format, performed by the participants of the performance projects. this module presents new creations from seven mind-blowing choreographers that will premiere here in berlin. (on the 11th, 12th, 25th and 26th of july)

critical mass: an informal studio showing of pieces, performed by choreographers who are also teaching the workshops. (on the 30th of june, and the 4th, 7th, 16th, 20th of july)
gravitational attraction: this site specific performance project at the hybrid art space setting from our new affiliate partner, trauma bar und kino, will provide the kick you need after days and weeks of researching. this event happens only once on the 25th of july and will lead us deep into the night with our final b12 party we were all waiting for! not to miss...
we also curate two screenings for dance on camera short films during the festival for you to enjoy! (13th and 21st of july)

Cancellation by raumstation 12 GbR
raumstation 12 Gbr, as the organizer, is entitled to cancel and/or discontinue a course in the case of insufficient participant numbers or due to force majeure. Course fees will then be refunded either in full or on a pro-rata basis if a course is discontinued after its commencement. In the event that a course instructor is not available for the entire or part of the course, the organizer is entitled to provide an equivalent substitute. However, course participants are then also entitled to cancel their registration for the replacement course against a 100% refund of the course fee or the respective fraction. In this case, participants waive any claims against the organizer for refunds of any other costs, such as travel and accommodation costs.
Cancellation by the participant
Notice of cancellation must be given in writing to be valid. Registrations are binding and the course fee is payable if the participant is invited by the organizer and undertakes to attend. Payment of the complete course fee constitutes a binding registration of the participant in the b12 workshop.
The full amount is refunded, apart from a ten euro administrative fee, to the participant if registration is cancelled up to 45 days before the workshop commences. Half of the workshop fee per workshop is refunded if registration is cancelled 30 to 44 days before the workshop commences. One quarter of the workshop fee per workshop is refunded if registration is cancelled 14 to 29 days before the workshop commences. No fee is refunded if registration is cancelled less than 14 days before the workshop commences and/or if the participant fails to attend or discontinues participation.
Any single change of workshops until 45 days before the originally booked workshop commences is free of charge. Any single change of workshops made between 1 day to 44 days before the workshops commences incurs a 10 Euro administrative charge.
The administrative charge has to be paid before the workshop commences, otherwise the participant is not allowed to take part in the workshop.
If the reason for a cancellation by a participant is injury or sickness, and raumstation 12 GbR receives a doctors certificate stating, that he or she is unable to participate, the full workshop fee will be refunded at any time before the workshop commences. If the workshop has already commenced, the fee will be proportionally refunded. An administrative charge of 10 Euros applies.
If the participant decides during the workshop for any other reason not to participate in that workshop, but would like to change to another workshop, he or she can apply for another workshop. If the organizers agree, the participant can book another workshop. The originally booked workshop will not be refunded and the participant is obliged to pay the regular workshop fee for the newly booked workshop.
In order to uphold the integrity of the workshops, raumstation 12 GbR does not, in any case, support freely changing workshops due to any personal dislike of the workshop.
Exception:
If a participant has participated partially in a workshop and has other serious, understandable reasons for changing to another workshop, the participant must apply for an exemption through the raumstation 12 GbR/b12 festival direction. A claim to a change does not exist.
If a change of workshop is granted by the festival organizers, a changing fee of 50% of the regular fee of the newly booked workshop applies to the participant, if the new workshop fee equals that of the originally booked workshop and has not yet commenced. All other workshops that do not carry a fee equalling that of the originally booked workshop, or workshops that have already commenced, shall be calculated proportionally.
A booked workshop is never transferable to another person. The workshop can only be taken by the person who originally booked and was accepted by the organizers of b12 to the workshop.
raumstation 12 GbR and the participants are in equal parts responsible for ensuring that workshops are not booked which are overlapping and completely or partially happening at the same time.
In the event of such, raumstation 12 GbR allows the participant, if possible, to change to another third workshop, without any extra fee. If this change, for whatever reason is not possible, raumstation b12 GbR grants the participant 50% of the original workshop fee.
For all transfers, all participating banks and institutions are charging transfer fees. These transfer fees have to be completely covered by the participant. If a fee is incomplete due to the deduction of transfer fees, the participant must pay the difference.
All refunds, granted and transferred by raumstation 12 GbR, are refunded minus the return transaction fees.
3. Liability
Participants generally attend all workshop events at their own risk. In the event that medical circumstances are known which would constitute a risk for a participant, participation in the relevant units is expressly forbidden. The organizer reserves the right to permanently exclude from the workshop any participants who fail to abide by the house rules and/or who deliberately disturb lessons in any other manner. Course fees will not be refunded.
The organizer does not assume any liability for damage, injury or loss. Insurance is not included. The organizer's liability for any disadvantages resulting therefrom is excluded.
No accident or health insurance exists for participants during the course or any excursions performed within the scope of the course. raumstation 12 GbR does not assume any liability for loss of objects of any kind whatsoever.
