Round-up PURPLE
A network for dance artists and organizers
Date: Friday, 24.01.25, 15:00–17:00 pm
Venue: Uferstudio 2
Round up PURPLE offers a space to get to know each other and exchange experiences. With this format, we want to give artists involved in the festival the opportunity to get to know each other and our cooperation partners - which is usually not possible in the usual festival business. In addition, all professional festival visitors and organizers are invited to make new contacts and reflect with us on the past festival week.
The meeting will be moderated by the artistic director Canan Erek.
In order to participate in this event, it is important to have seen at least one performance that is on the program at the PURPLE Festival. Please register by January 20 via: info@purple-tanzfestival.de
In English spoken language.
A cooperation between PURPLE - International Dance Festival for Young Audiences and the Performing Arts Program of LAFT Berlin.

Dance Battle & Dance Party
Club Oval as a guest at PURPLE
Date: Sunday, 26.01.25, 18:00–21:00 pm, from 16 years
Venue: Uferstudio 14
Improvisation talent and a playful fighting spirit are required here. Three teams from different dance scenes compete with their own choreography. Soloists have exactly one minute to blow the audience away.
The fusion of all styles is unique in its spectrum: swing, krump, contemporary dance, twerking, ballet, African dance, hip-hop, voguing, tango and much more. Since the dancers of the different dance styles improvise to music given by the DJ – funk, Classical, hip-hop and more – surprising new movement ideas and inspirations emerge. The winners of the evening in the team / solo / duet categories will be chosen by a top-class jury. The audience decides on the winners of the solo performances and is invited to dance themselves during the breaks.
In cooperation with TANZKOMPLIZEN.
