COFFEE TALK with Be Van Vark | June 1, 23

»Outside, in between, in the middle: Participatory dance projects in the border region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg and Poland.« – A cup of coffee with …. Be Van Vark, choreographer and artistic director of Tänzer*ohne Grenzen e. V.

Be Van Vark’s work is characterised by a passion for realising participatory projects, bringing different people together and moving both one and hundreds of people. For her work, she was honoured by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier with the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. The laudatory speech summarises her work and the systemic relevance of culture in general: ‘Be van Vark shows that culture is not an elitist luxury pleasure, but part of everyone’s existence.’
Four days before the premiere of the current work ‘Das Fest_ Tanz auf dem Plateau’, a production with hundreds of people from the border region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg and Poland, Be talks about the challenges, the process and the practice.

The project is being realised in cooperation and as part of a village residency by the Kulturlandbüro Uecker – Randow. It is funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation, the Trafo programme and the Metropolregion Stettin Fund.
