About
The Uferstudios for contemporary dance are a landmarked area in Berlin-Wedding that currently brings together a total of six partners from Berlin's independent dance scene. Thanks to the ada Studio für zeitgenössischen Tanz, the Inter-University Dance Centre (HZT) Berlin, Tanzbuero Berlin, Tanzfabrik Berlin, the artist collective PSR, as well as the operating company Uferstudios GmbH, the location has matured into a centre for dance since its formation in 2010. Through the diversity of its partners, the Uferstudios bring a wide range of artistic processes and aesthetics of contemporary dance into the public eye.
17 studios, a café, a media library, offices and common rooms connected by a spacious courtyard offer artists space for concentrated work processes, lectures, performances and festivals and invite visitors to discover and gather.
Us & Our Code of Conduct
The self-image of the Uferstudios for contemporary dance is characterised by the coexistence of artistic production, education and information, which promote a synergetic collectivity on site and focus on openness and participation. And so the partners based here are dedicated not only to the local and international networking of the artists working here, but also to opening up to the city and the neighbourhood.
The Uferstudios want to be a free space for the artists, students, academics and visitors who produce here and grow collectively with their ideas and activities.
As a cultural location in Berlin, we are committed to actively combating all forms of discrimination. We defend democracy, freedom of expression, artistic freedom, the fundamental right to live in dignity and offer safe spaces for exchange, dialog and diversity.
