PROJECT 48 DANCE at ROXY Ulm 18.+19. 07.2024

was founded by Dana Ruttenberg. The first German edition was presented by Tanzlabor Ulm at Roxy Ulm.

Project 48 Dance invites choreographers, dramaturgs, dancers and other Artists to two 24 hour „speed-spin-blind-dates“  culminating in 10 one-time-only dance works.

The project was inspired by preceding projects in Film, Theater and Architecture, and is the first of its kind in Dance.

The game consists of two 24 hour „rounds“ of creation: An initial raffle determines the creative teams. Each group comprises of a choreographer, a „Second Eye“ (Dramaturg/Director/Dance Researcher) and a varying number of dancers. Next, the parameters for creation are drawn. These include spatial and thematic constrictions/challenges. From then until the public showcase, each team has 24 hours to create a Dance work to be performed live.
