Bertram Mueller

Chairman of European Tanzhaus Network
Based in a renovated building that was formerly Germany’s oldest streetcar depot, tanzhaus nrw is one of Europe’s foremost dance centers, engaging in a wide variety of dance workshops and performance events. It is an organization with roots that go back to 1973, when artists active in Dusseldorf including Robert Salomon and Chris Parker gathered with an empty factory to hold courses and involve in various artistic projects. After a short hiatus, the group re-gathered in 1978 to form what they called a “The Workshop ( Die Werkstatt ) for dance, painting, craft and sculpture.” At the age of 65, Bertram Mueller continues to lead what is now tanzhaus nrw as its director, while also serving as chairman of the European Tanzhaus Network.
