b12 - the festival for contemporary dance and performance art in berlin 2025 needs you - it's only really fun with you! you can be inspired by our new satellite program, b12 spring, taking place in spring from the 17th to 20th of april 2025. and if that's not cool enough for you, then maybe you'll enjoy our big four-week b12 summer festival from the 7th of july to 3rd of august, which will feature countless workshops and events. now you're probably thinking: could it be even cooler? oh, yes! you can also join our new 13-day satellite program b12 fall in autumn, from the 28th of october to 9th of november, and it is the first time that you can apply for the very popular performance projects during this festival - they usually only take place at b12 summer! cool, right? and since we are talking: maybe you are interested in getting to know our brand new three month long educational program b12 mavericks.
we want you here with us - preferably always! because here you have the opportunity to learn from and with inspiring teachers, artists and choreographers. and, of course, your friends. in light-flooded studios, surrounded by nature, you can share your passion and grow artistically. these festivals all take place here on-site, with the participants, teachers and choreographers present, in studios and a theatre in berlin.
are you ready? you can expect a wide range of approaches, from film, text, movement, acrobatics and theater to experimental and futuristic elements. the best thing about it: you can create your own workshop plan! all of the invited teachers are fascinating in their own way and we look forward to bringing you together.
the extended workshop times give you the opportunity to deepen your quest for artistic development. we welcome over 80 research workshop experts who will take you on a journey of discovery that will uncover new sides of you. here at b12, you will become part of a curious community interested in the unexplored. whether theoretical or physical or everything in between, if you are open to new things, your stay in berlin will be unforgettable!
b12 is committed to contemporary dance and performance art and loves the unconventional. it is dedicated to supporting artists who take physical and emotional risks on stage and in the rehearsal process - promoting different ways of working.
here you can view the calendar of performances and events at b12 summer. this year, b12 is, once again, organising discussion platforms to share perspectives and connect with participants, teachers and anyone else who is interested.
