What is Contemporary Dance? | TEDx Speaker Explains

What surprises people most about contemporary dance? Can everyone dance? How did COVID-19 change the way this school teaches its students? In 2019 the students of Iwanson International joined us on stage with a riveting, self-choreographed performance to our theme ‘Dive In.’ Today, Johannes Härtl and Marie Preußler share fascinating insights on career paths and the creative process in contemporary dance.
Have you ever wondered what happens to our speakers’ ideas after they appeared on the TEDx stage? Then join us during our ‘TEDx Speaker Explains’ series, where we revisit TEDxTUM speakers and ask them curious questions about everything that is near and dear to them.
As one of the top academies in Europe for contemporary dance, Iwanson International has created a reputation for itself since its founding in 1974. The academy welcomes students from around the world-currently teaching students of 26 different nationalities. In addition to the regular curriculum objectives, students can also partake in Iwanson International’s extracurricular program. Through this exchange program, students can take their education to new heights while gaining a priceless cultural perception of another culture.
