The Department of Arts and Culture of the City of Munich, Capital of Bavaria is currently looking for a curator / a curator team for the upcoming DANCE Biennale from 2025.
The successful candidate’s mission will be to create a festival programme that is highly original and relevant to society, and to ensure that it is publicised widely. The contract period starts in mid-2024 and covers up to three festival editions.
DANCE, the Munich Festival of Contemporary Dance, has taken place every two years in early spring since 1987. DANCE is produced by alternating curators with different artistic focuses and organised by the Department of Arts and Culture of the City of Munich.
DANCE is internationally recognised as an ambitious public festival both in the diversity and quality of its programme. It is based on the criteria of diversity, inclusion and sustainability.
DANCE reflects current states of international contemporary dance. It should employ unique venues and feature genre-breaking experimental styles. Well-known names and ensembles as well as outstanding newcomers shape the programme, supplemented by a variety of expression and discourse formats.
For the realisation of the festival programme (including all fees and costs), approximately 688,000€ and rent contingencies are currently available on a biennial basis, subject to the respective municipal council decisions for the financial year.
