Retrospectives 2015 – 2022

Under the artistic direction of Virve Sutinen, Tanz im August dedicated a retrospective to the life's work and career of a contemporary choreographer, every two years. Their legacy and contribution to the dance field was approached in various ways to draw attention to their life-long commitment to artistic investigation and choreographic practice. Amidst the multiple events running throughout the festival, the Retrospective Series allowed it to offer audiences a wider and deeper insight into artistic research, development, and thinking. The series  included the artists Rosemary Butcher in 2015, La Ribot in 2017, Deborah Hay in 2019 and Cristina Caprioli / ccap in 2022.
