„Round up! PURPLE“ - A network for artists and organizers

The PURPLE Festival will take place from 18 to 26 January 2025 at various venues in Berlin. Performing Arts Programme Berlin supports the invitation of curators by partially covering their travel and accommodation costs. Inviting curators to the festival strengthens the international visibility and networking of the Berlin dance scene, especially for young audiences.

Round up PURPLE offers a space to get to know each other and exchange experiences. With this format, the PURPLE’s team wants to give artists involved in the festival the opportunity to get to know each other and their cooperation partners - which is usually not possible in the usual festival business. In addition, all professional festival visitors and organizers are invited to make new contacts and reflect with them on the past festival week.

The meeting will be moderated by the artistic director Canan Erek.

With: Ulla Gad (Dansehallerne, Kopenhagen, Denmark), Hakan Silahsizoglu (Atta Festival, Istambul, Türkei), Martin Wilson (TIN Arts, Durham, UK), Célia Bernard (Le Gymnase CDCN, Roubaix, Frankreich), Mauro Meneghelli (Gender Bender Festival, Bologna, Italy)
