Anke Euler

Since 2012, Anke Euler has been a permanent member of the team of steptext dance project e. V. (steptext) and as the dance dramaturge, oversees Helge Letonja's productions and partly, those of guest choreographers. As project manager, she frames the performances in programs that offer practical and theoretical room for reflection, creates event series, forms and works on collaborations, as well as curates festivals in collaboration with Helge Letonja and different cooperation partners, such as Baila España for contemporary dance from Spain and AFRICTIONS for contemporary dance between Africa and Europe.

One focus of her work is the development of interdisciplinary works with artists from other disciplines, such as scientists, experts, and activists from different areas in society. Another core element of her work is the mediation of dance to a wide variety of groups and audiences, whether dance newcomers, students, professional audiences or theater makers. Her goal is to build connections to contemporary dance. She sees this as "the engine of the experience of the world as a common reality, which everyone shares".

Anke Euler sees dance as an important counterweight to exclusionary, intolerant, anti-body and anti-human attitudes and ways, because dance as an art can portray these elements and problems, but also depict the processes of human self-assertion precisely.

Anke Euler studied dramaturgy, French philology, as well as philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and the Bavarian Theater Academy August Everding. Before joining steptext, she worked as a dramaturg among others for Micha Purucker, TravelLight Munich, co>labs tanz/ theater/ produktionen Nuremberg, Francisco Sanchez-Martinez/ Theater Lüneburg and the Munich festival RODEO, as well as in 2019 and 2020 in the 1:1 format of the Performing Art Festival Berlin. In addition, she is currently part of the jury for project funds in the field of dance of the state capital Munich.
