TanzBlack Theatre

​

​

Tanz Black is the collective name for movement based theatrical works conceived, directed, and/or choreographed by Tsiambwom M. Akuchu

Borrowing it’s name from the German Tanztheater (“dance theatre”) which grew out of German Expressionist dance in Weimar Germany and 1920s Vienna, TanzBlack Theatre or Tanz Black, creates work in that lineage of theater/dance making while focusing on representing movement forms rooted in Black culture. Especially Hip-Hop and Street Dances .

Tanz Balck aims to reshape contemporary concert dance by introducing new movement forms and choreographic strategies rooted in non-western dance practices to generate profoundly new theatrical experiences.
