welcome to b12 fall 2026
b12 – the festival for contemporary dance and performance art in Berlin 2026 is not slowing down—and we want you in the mix! First, launch yourself into our 13-day satellite program, b12 spring, from April 13 to 26, and let your energy explode. Then ride the wave into our main b12 Summer Festival, four weeks of unfiltered creativity, from July 6 to August 2, packed with workshops, performances, and events that push limits and spark ideas.
The ride doesn’t stop there: dive into our 13-day satellite program, b12 fall, from October 19 to November 1, where experimentation and risk-taking are the rules, not the exception.
For the first time ever, you can throw your hat in the ring for our highly coveted Performance Projects during all festivals—they used to be summer-only exclusives.
And if you’re hungry for more, get ready to explore our boldest move yet: the three-month immersive educational program, b12 mavericks, where contemporary dance and performance art are pushed to their wildest edges.
This isn’t just a festival—it’s a playground, a laboratory, a rebellion. Are you in?
b12 spring, summer, fall — Berlin’s playground for contemporary dance and performance is waiting for you.
Jump in. Move, sweat, experiment, collide. Dance alongside a fierce lineup of teachers, artists, and choreographers who are ready to push you, challenge you, and ignite your own creative fire. All of this happens in-person, on-site in Berlin, in light-flooded studios and theatres surrounded by nature, where you, your peers, and our artists exist fully, physically, and alive.
Expect the unexpected: film, text, movement, acrobatics, theatre, experimental formats, and futuristic ideas. The best part? You design your own journey. Every teacher brings their own radical vision—you decide how to collide with it.
b12 doesn’t do safe. We champion contemporary dance and performance art that’s raw, unconventional, and unafraid. If you’re ready to take physical and emotional risks—on stage, in rehearsal, in your own process—this is your laboratory, your arena, your moment to experiment.
