TANZT! Festival

About this event

TANZT! Festival at Ökodorf Sieben Linden is a three-day late-summer dance festival (September 3–6, 2026, 2nd edition) in an ecovillage community in Saxony-Anhalt, offering three movement formats to explore, deepen, and mix: Contact Improvisation, Embodiment dance, and AcroYoga. Mornings and afternoons bring workshops led by each teacher in their respective format; evenings offer shared jams — some in silence, others with live music. The programme is designed so participants can engage with at least two of the three formats. Children aged 4–13 are welcome throughout, with a free childcare programme running during adult sessions (funded by the state of Saxony-Anhalt). Angela-Mara Florant leads Contact Improvisation. She holds a Master in Arts du Spectacle and co-founded and directs the NORDTANZ Festival in Hamburg; since 2015 she has run Tanzstudio Triade in Hamburg. Maike Stöckmann leads Embodiment dance — she is a psychologist and dance pedagogue with long experience in body work and trauma therapy, drawing on CI, queer tango, contemporary dance, and Authentic Movement. Lorena Castro leads AcroYoga, weaving together yoga, Thai massage and acrobatics to cultivate trust, connection, and playfulness. The ecovillage setting provides starry skies, a pond, and home-produced organic food. Open to all experience levels and age groups. Arrival Thursday from 17:00 (dinner 18:30, programme starts 20:00); departure Sunday after lunch at 13:00.
