Tanzmesse 2024: online programme & registration open

The 15th internationale tanzmesse nrw, a project of nrw landesbuero tanz, takes place from 28 to 31 August 2024 and will once again make Düsseldorf the international hub of the contemporary dance scene. More than 1,500 artists and dance professionals from 50 countries are expected to attend Tanzmesse to exchange ideas on current topics and present and offer new works. The 2024 programme will focus on topics such as cultural identity, community, migration and the heterogeneity of bodies.

The programme with all formats and events is now online and dance professionals can register as participants through the Tanzmesse website: https://www.tanzmesse.com/en/tanzmesse/2024/visitors/

Isa Köhler and Katharina Kucher, co-directors of the internationale tanzmesse nrw since 2022: “In our anniversary year 2024, we expect the full diversity and power of the contemporary dance scene in Düsseldorf. With 85 spaces already booked and exhibitors from over 50 countries, an intensive exchange is guaranteed. We are delighted about the renewed participation of Plataforma Iberoamericana de Danza, Creative Australia and Dance of Korea, among others, as exhibitors. Many new participants, such as delegations from Portugal, the Balkans and South Africa, are enriching our Agora with perspectives from all over the world.”

The heart of the largest professional meeting for contemporary dance is the Agora. This is where companies, artists, institutions and organisations present and network. 2024 is the first time for the Agora to be set up in the former building of the Düsseldorf Central Library.


The Tanzmesse jury, which consists of Tanzmesse co-directors Isa Köhler and Katharina Kucher as well as associate curators Julia Asperska (Poland), Dan Daw (UK), Natacha Melo (Uruguay) and Quito Tembe (Mozambique), reviewed a total of 900 proposals from an open call. From those, 19 productions were selected and invited to be presented in full length, another 27 in Open Studios and 18 in Insights, shorter presentation formats that introduce professional visitors to existing works, upcoming projects, inspiring networks and other new developments in the industry.
