The Summer Lab is an education project made possible as part of Tanzlabor_21 in collaboration with the Hessian Theater Academy. It is conceived as a forum to facilitate communication between artistic practice and the theoretical reflection of contemporary art forms.

The Summer Lab is specifically directed at students of the HTA, as well as young international artists. Within a concentrated timeframe, outstanding international artists and theorists will hold workshops and give lectures. The Summer Lab focuses on contemporary dance and its enormous potential to initiate inter- and transdisciplinary collaborations at the crossroads of dance and performance. The accompanying performance program at Mousonturm is open to the public.
