Now & Next at tanzhaus nrw: When young choreography opens up its future

With Now & Next, tanzhaus nrw presents an evening on September 30, 2026, that puts the choreographic newcomers in the spotlight. The platform showcases their first works, projects, and work stages from artists in North Rhine-Westphalia, condensing them into a vibrant stage experience full of experimentation, intimacy, and new beginnings. An evening where up to three short pieces can be created, followed by a conversation with the artists that draws the curtain once more.

An evening for the present of tomorrow

The format itself brings dramaturgical tension: short works, clear placements, open thinking. Now & Next understands itself according to tanzhaus nrw as a place of artistic risks, dramaturgical consistency, and unusual, experimental forms. The power of this evening lies precisely in this: not in smooth endings, but in productive becoming. The audience experiences dance not as a finished answer but as a searching movement with pulse.

Between body, risk, and resonance

The theater atmosphere in the Small Hall promises density instead of distance. Here, the precision of the body, the sharpness of a gaze, and the catching of breath between two movements matter. Those who love contemporary dance will find not only aesthetic diversity in this series but also the rare moment when artistic handwriting, dramaturgical openness, and audience reaction meet directly. The inclusion of a discussion with the artists afterwards additionally transforms the evening into a dialogue space for contemporary art.
