The Tanz Performance Serie takes place during the long Easter weekend each year (from Thursday until Sunday) and is held in Berlin at the SOPHIENSAELE theater. Invited artists are required to perform three times and must take part in a short technical rehearsal as well as a dress rehearsal prior to the performances. Participants must be available for all rehearsals and performances over the three-day festival.

LUCKY TRIMMER will offer total compensation of 500€ per piece. Accommodation (shared double occupancy) as well as a small financial contribution towards travel expenses might be provided depending on the available budget. Catering is provided in the dressing room as well as after the premiere. LUCKY TRIMMER also works with its network of co-production partners and collaborators to provide featured artists with additional performance opportunities.
