Mind Your
Step
Tom wants to go to the dance theatre, but the performance is sold out.
Instead, he enters a virtual journey through German dance archives, which
all in their different ways work towards the preservation of the ephemeral
art of dance.
On the trail of the dance piece “Schritte verfolgen" (Following
Footsteps) by Susanne Linke and VA Wölfl, he encounters methods and
functions of documenting dance – methods, which reflect the specific
examination of this branch.

The archives have been leaving their organisational structures of private law and have increasingly approached the dance interested public. Dance archives – the trustees of dance heritage – now appear as partners of universities, galleries, schools and TV-institutions. And they are turning into an agile and moving homestead for the dance professionals in this country.
