Danzankó Collective

Danzankó Collective We are DANZANKÓ – an international stilt dance collective from Berlin. Their first collective production "DisTouched" premiered in 2022 at Artspace Bremerhaven.

We fill the streets with poetry in motion and bring our unique language of stilt dance to a widespread audience. The stilt dance collective DANZANKÓ was founded by Esther Geyer (DE/ES), Clara Gracia (ES) and Anna Vilhelmiina Peltola (FIN) in 2020. The three dancers and performers have been working for many years in the fields of contemporary dance as well as street and site-specific dance theatre

– with and without stilts. In 2021 and 2023 they received the DIS-TANZ-SOLO grant in the programme NEUSTART KULTUR, Dachverband Tanz Deutschland for their research focusing on developing a method of dancing on stilts. In 2023 "DisTouched" was supported by the Wiederaufnahmeförderung from the Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media within the program NEUSTART KULTUR. DANZANKÓ Collective fills the streets with poetry in motion and brings their unique language of stilt dancing to a wider audience.

Time to say THANK YOU ✨💃
After an unforgettable summer season, it's time to give ourselves —and our stilts — a well-deserved winter break.

One of the highlights of our summer was the three-week journey at the Kleines Fest im Großen Garten in Hannover. We're deeply grateful to Casper de Vrier for his artistic vision and for trusting us to bring poetry and emotion to the audience🙏

To all the incredible artists and colleagues we met along the way: a BIG thank you! ❤️ Your support, creativity, and friendship made this season truly special!

Nearly 70 shows later, we’re fulfilled, inspired, and already dreaming about what next year will bring. Onward to new adventures! 🍁

DisTouched thematisierte das Spannungsfeld zwischen Individuum und Kollektiv. Danzankó Collective zeigte mit ihren unterschiedlichen Geschichten verschiedene Facetten von Beziehungen – von flüchtigen Begegnungen bis zu echter Verbundenheit. Auf Stelzen tanzend spielten Raum, Abstand und Kontakt eine wichtige Rolle. Die Stelzen waren Herausforderung und Symbol – erhaben, elegant, poetisch und zugleich zerbrechlich.

Danzankó Collective: DISTOUCHED

DisTouched thematisiert das Spannungsfeld zwischen Individuum und Kollektiv. Esther Geyer, Clara Gracia, und Anna Vilhelmiina Peltola mit unterschiedlichen Geschichten und Herkünften zeigen auf Stelzen tanzend verschiedene Facetten von Beziehungen, von der flüchtigen Bekanntschaft über Konflikte bis hin zu echter Verbundenheit. Raum, Abstand und physischer Kontakt spielen eine gewisse Rolle und die Tänzerinnen entdecken sich selbst in immer wieder neuen Konstellationen. Die Stelzen sind eine Herausforderung, wirken erhaben, elegant, poetisch und gleichzeitig auch zerbrechlich.

🟢Freitag: 16,18 & 21 Uhr, Samstag: 16 & 19 Uhr
