Kompanie tanzfähig

The tanzfähig company is Berlin's only independent dance group consisting of members with and without (learning) disabilities. In the face of a society that is changing in many ways, it aims to contribute to diversity being represented in contemporary dance and to make models of social coherence aesthetically tangible. The company was founded in 2021 and is run by tanzfähig Wohlfarter Richarz GbR. The German UNESCO Commission included it as a practical example in its 2024 report on the implementation of the UNESCO Convention on the Diversity of Cultural Expressions in Germany.

Their production “Herzen. ZWISCHEN. Vulkanen”, choreographed by Karina Suárez Bosche and with original music by Gabor Csongradi, was part of the cultural programme of the Special Olympics World Games in Berlin 2023 and was awarded the 2023 Prevention Prize by the Berlin State Commission against Violence. In 2025, the company was invited to the dance festival in Rijeka.
