research overview

 

research or die.

 

the following performance projects and research workshops are held by incredibly dedicated teachers and choreographers who come to b12 to share their knowledge and passion with you. you can just apply for the performance projects or workshops - but you also can apply for the stay and research performance project bundles, or the stay and research workshop bundles.

 

in order to suit different financial needs and research ideas, we have created different workshop options of different lengths: four, six and eight days, as well as other, special research workshops with a different length. and, of course, not to forget our beloved performance projects! you can mix and match and apply for the ones which work best for you.

 

please check out also our new, unbeatable b12 "stay & research" offers, which combine accommodation and workshops or performance eprojects!

 

visit our website regularly, as we will be adding more workshops and workshop formats, like online workshops, over time - and be aware of our early bird and price reduction options. you can find more details about all things b12 in our faq section!

 

enjoy!

performance projects

 

this educational platform gives you the opportunity to have an in-depth experience with one choreographer, working on an idea and presenting it in a performance setting. performance projects are limited to around 17 performers and span over 13 days (with one day off). the pieces will be presented three times at dock 11, a black box theatre in the centre of berlin. there s no deadline - you can apply up until one day before the performance project starts.
