In its anniversary year, the Stiftung TANZ-Transition Center Germany has received the DZI (Deutsche Zentralinstitut für soziale Fragen) donation seal. It guarantees that an organization deals with its finances with care and responsibility. By issuing the seal, the DZI documents a transparent use of funds, clear and truthful information and advertising as well as suitable administrative costs. And more: seal organizations agree voluntarily to adhere to DZI standards of a highest quality. Thus they guarantee that donations are used in accordance with the non-profit mission.
The DZI’s administers are the Berlin Senate, the Federal Ministry for Family, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft der Freien Wohlfahrtspflege and the German Association of Cities.
Workshop rescheduled to September
You have an objective and you can’t find the right words to inform the person you are speaking with? You want to present a project, but the right vocabulary is missing? You’re sitting at the Jobcenter, want to have a further education program financed, but you don’t know which argument to use? You can practice these and other discussion situations and become more confident.
By recognizing and naming your potentials and resources, you can develop customized strategies in this workshop in order to activate your influence in discussion situations. You can reach back to positive experiences from your dance career and use this power for new challenges in your life.
By implementing feedback practices and developing individual emotional images, you can access these positive experiences at any time. In a playful way, we will test different situations with typical discussion partners and subjects that relate to your life.
Workshop direction: Tanja Ries, certified coach and trainer in the field of the cultural economy and cultural education. Central subjects: personality development; flow, creativity and communication.

Workshop in german language
A cooperative event of the Stiftung TANZ – Transition Center Germany, the Tanzbüro Berlin and the Creative Service Center.
Congress of the Federal Association of Independent Performing Arts in Hamburg
The Federal Association of Independent Theater e.V. (in the future: Federal Association of Independent Performing Arts e.V.) is celebrating ist 25th anniversary. The association is using this event to organize a federal and international congress titled »vielfalt gestalten. frei und fair arbeiten« at Kampnagel Hamburg.
The perspective developed at our congress »Freies Theater der Zukunft« in Stuttgart in December 2010: the indepdnent performing arts are enormously enlivening for the aesthetic and structural development of theater is Germany. Invitations to theater meetings, cooperations between city theaters and independent groups as well as changing policy of selecting artistic directors in Berlin or Munich demonstrate this. At the same time, there are hardly any reliable social, legal, economic and sometimes artistic standards. Minimal wages, adequate production facilities, certified further education courses, etc. are lacking in independent production contexts.
This year’s BUFT congress »vielfalt gestalten – frei und fair arbeiten« thus addresses such issues as “Future Theater Structures”, “Between Calling and Career”, “Cultural Education”, “Focus on Europe” as well as the potentials and necessities of the further development of the performing arts in Germany as a whole. Heike Scharpff, project director at the Stiftung TANZ head office will attend the “Between Calling and Career” module and share her experience with career changes.

Germany and Japan agreed to a government treaty to exchange expertise in the field of dance. The Deutsche Bundesverband Tanz (DBT) was asked to realize this program and to represent dance’s structures in Germany.
