Werkstatt is a multipurpose space dedicated to develop and support the creative community around contemporary dance and performance in Frankfurt. Its aim is to facilitate artistic practice, and bring light to the crossing between art, knowledge and society.

Despite offering itself as a rehearsal space for the freelance scene, Werkstatt also facilitates workshops, events and becomes a meeting point for different communities (artists, students from various art programs in Frankfurt, Offenbach, Giessen). 

Werkstatt is currently located at Netzwerk Seilerei.

Facilities: 90 sqm, a dance floor, sound-system, a desk and internet.

From March 2021 until July 2023 Werkstatt hosted 63 Residencies, 45 Workshops from our weekly workshop program, 10 Workshops initiated by the freelance community and 24 Y.E.S. Fridays. Thank you!

Werkstatt is an initiative of work of act and began in collaboration with Joblinge at Danzig am Platz in 2021. 

The project was realised through financial support of Strukturforderung Kulturamt Frankfurt, Joblinge and NeueStart Kultur #TakePart (2021-2023). We are currently looking for further funding. Contact us if you want to support the project!
