How do people experience dance and performance – physically, emotionally, and through shared activity? The discussion explores various ways of engaging with dance– ranging from spectating to participating, and from artistic experience to educational goals. The focus is on the question of what significance such experiences can have for individual development and social interaction. The panel discussion brings together perspectives from artistic practice, research, and education policy.

  • Registration is required due to limited number of participants.
  • The event is free of charge.

TUM tanzt!

TUM tanzt! is an initiative of the TUM Center for Culture and Arts and the TUM School of Medicine and Health (Applied Sport Science) that brings dance to life in all its diversity. Through workshops, performances, and community projects, the platform creates a space for dance at the intersection of science, social participation, and holistic health promotion. The events invite participants not only to experience dance as spectators but also to get moving themselves. Together, we foster encounters, creativity, and reflection.
