A think tank at Cologne’s Centre for Contemporary Dance from 28 to 30 March 2014 served as preparation for the 5th Dance Education Biennale. There participants – students most of all – expressed the desire to see the next Biennale as a social framework for art and creativity. During a second think tank, at the Centre for Contemporary Dance from 28 to 29 May 2015, students and instructors took part in several workshops to develop their ideas.
