Produktionszentrum Tanz + Performance is a non-profit, publicly funded membership association. It has been a hub for all dancers, choreographers and performers in the independent dance scene in and around Stuttgart for over a decade.

Some 50 members from the fields of dance and dance education, performance, theatre and the visual arts use the production centre as a place of interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration.

The production centre’s main focus is the support and promotion of up-and-coming independent choreographers and dancers. We feature a wide range of ongoing dance training for professionals on a regular basis and manage a rehearsal and performance space available for members' productions.

We offer PR work for our members, and advocate the improvement of production and performance conditions for Stuttgart's independent dance and performance scene – thus hopefully helping to improve funding and production opportunities.

Since 2010, Produktionszentrum has been campaigning intensively in collaboration with Freie Theater Stuttgart (Independent Theatres Stuttgart) for a shared venue for Stuttgart’s independent dance and fringe theatre scene.

The production centre’s home is a converted beer hall in Stuttgart Feuerbach with offices, studio space, kitchen, foyer and communal areas. The rehearsal studio is a spacious historic ballroom from the 19th century. This is where our professional dance classes, workshops and seminars take place. It is also very busy with members needing rehearsal space.

The studio is available for rent to non-members, please inquire at info@produktionszentrum.de.

For our current class programme, please go to www.produktionszentrum.de or contact the office at info@produktionszentrum.de.
