Rotations Dance Festival
Spahn+Glikson
The three-day “Rotations Dance Festival”, directed by Lea Spahn and Miranda Glikson, transforms Marburg into a vibrant hub for contemporary dance. In collaboration with Theater Neben dem Turm, Waggonhalle Marburg and Philipps University, Rotations showcases local, regional and national artists and educators. Participatory formats and workshops offer accessible entry points for a broad audience and create inclusive spaces for encounter, with a focus on community-oriented practices and collaboratively developed performances. Conceived as a pilot project, the festival’s first edition also establishes a platform designed to offer local dance professionals new perspectives and opportunities for exchange and networking.
“Rotations Dance Festival” shines a spotlight on contemporary dance in Marburg – a region previously underrepresented in Hesse’s dance landscape. Curated by Miranda Glikson and Lea Spahn, the festival’s compact three-day format, in collaboration with established Marburg theater venues, creates accessible entry points for everyone interested in movement and a broad public audience. Local and regional artists offer insights into the diversity of dance through participatory formats, workshops, and performances.
As a pilot project, the focus is on community-building and fostering synergies. “Rotations Dance Festival” exemplifies one of Next Steps’ key funding priorities: creating platforms and supporting networks that make dance accessible to a wide audience and strengthen an emerging dance scene.
