Making a Difference

Making a Difference (MAD) is a Berlin-based network project supporting the independent work of disabled, Deaf and chronically ill artists in dance. We create high-quality, accessible production opportunities through residencies and co-productions and support the transfer of knowledge on accessible working conditions and anti-ableist cultural work through artist labs and workshops.

In collaboration with partners from Berlin’s dance scene, such as the Uferstudios, Tanzfabrik Berlin, Sophiensaele, Junges Tanzhaus Berlin/TanzZeit, Tanzbüro Berlin, HZT Berlin, LAFT Berlin/FAIRSTAGE, HAU Hebbel am Ufer/Tanz im August and Radialsystem, as well as nationwide collaborations with Kampnagel Hamburg, tanzhaus nrw, Theater RAMPE Stuttgart, Festival Theaterformen/Real Dance Festival Hannover/Braunschweig and the University of the Arts in Social Contexts, Ottersberg, MAD’s model for cross-regional collaboration makes visible and raises the profile of disabled, Deaf and chronically ill artists.
