TanzHochDrei Festival – K3 | Tanzplan Hamburg

Three choreographers, three premieres

TanzHochDrei is the annual festival of K3 — Center for Choreography | Tanzplan Hamburg, one of the most important residency venues for contemporary dance in Germany. Three choreographers working as K3 residents present their new works in premiere during the festival. The venue is the halls of Kampnagel at Jarrestraße 20 in Winterhude.

Festival experience instead of individual performance

The K3 halls become the festival center during the festival: In addition to the three main performances, there are video works by the resident artists, workshops for various age groups, choreographed childcare, and movement classes. The festival is explicitly family-friendly and aims to make contemporary dance accessible to younger audiences and those unfamiliar with dance.

Choreographic diversity

K3 explicitly seeks out diverse resident choreographers — geographically, aesthetically, and biographically. In 2026, the themes range from an examination of Spain's fascist past to the connection between hip-hop, contemporary dance, and Caribbean rituals, to a choreography based on satellites, astrology, and AI.

K3 and Tanzplan Hamburg

K3 is embedded in the Tanzplan Hamburg network and works closely with Kampnagel. The venue is in the Hamburg-Nord district, in the Winterhude neighborhood. Funded by the Hamburg Authority for Culture and Media.
