02.08.2021 | "I am currently studying at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Mannheim, Studiengang: Master of Arts, Tanz. I had the opportunity and pleasure to live in the guest house and work in the studios of the Residenzzentrum tanz+ during the production of “Sei Nacht zu mir”.
The guest house is furnished and arranged in a way that makes it very easy to call it home. The house also made it easier to work during the pandemic, as the dancers counted as one household.
The studios are just a 10-minute bike ride away from the house. The bike rides were always very enjoyable as one got to see many beauties of Baden. The rehearsals with the choreographer were usually in the big studio. In case we had to practice the material or do our own exercises, we got to use the other studio. This allowed me to strengthen my body and prepare myself for the performances.
We also had a little kitchen which we used in our lunch breaks. Extra plus side of the studios is the beautiful view just outside the studio; the river that flows right next to it and a bright green forest on the opposite side.
The helpful and kind people involved with the project and a great working environment helped me. I learned and grew so much, that I will certainly never forget. I believe that by allowing other artists to use the spaces of the guest house and the studios we can create art, which the world needs and longs to see."

02.08.2021 | "Having spent three and a half months working in the Residenzzentrum tanz+, I found that the living and working conditions to be of an extremely high quality. The new studios made for fantastic working conditions with enough space for those involved and the professional floors provided ease of mind to work to one's full capacity. The living arrangements made for an easy transition to Baden, with enough space within the house offering shared and individual spaces. The offer of bikes and the vehicles make life very comfortable to move around Baden and to the performance location."

02.08.2021 | “At the Residenzzentrum tanz+ I felt at home! For almost four months I felt like working in a big family setting. A spacious house where you can share moments of your daily life together and have moments of privacy and tranquillity in your room as well. The renovated studios overlook the river and are set in a quiet complex of co-working spaces and ateliers. I would do it again–right now”

02.08.2021 | "I had the chance to work in Baden twice in my career and I can say without any doubts that it is the perfect place to concentrate on the work. The house is quiet and welcoming, has everything you need and is near the city centre and supermarkets. The studio is placed next to the river that makes the space just as quiet and inspiring as it can be. There is a space to relax and have lunch, and in the studio, you have more than enough space and linoleum on the floor. The owner is super welcoming and open to every necessity you have. An experience worth remembering."
