About
Talk. Connect. Meet – We Stay Connected – in North Rhine-Westphalia and Internationally!
The nrw landesbuero tanz invites you to a series of digital events: internationales tanzmeeting. Throughout 2026, we will be hosting online sessions for networking and discussing pressing issues. The series was created to maintain international exchange in 2026 – because internationale tanzmesse nrw will not take place this year.
Two formats – one common framework
The events are planned in two formats – NRW meets... International Dance and Talk & Connect - International Dance Dialogue.
NRW meets... International Dance initiates digital encounters between dance experts from North Rhine-Westphalia and (international) professionals and is dedicated to the conditions for successful international distribution and production.
Talk & Connect - International Dance Dialogue invites the international dance scene to discuss current topics such as curatorial structures, networks, mobility & touring, diversity and accessibility. After an input or panel discussion, everyone is invited to contribute their perspectives.
