Folkloretanzensemble „-Thea Maass“ der TU Dresden
"Tänzerisch lebendig auf den Spuren unserer Kultur …"
Under the direction of dance educator and choreographer Maud Butter, around 40 dancers and musicians currently dedicate themselves to preserving and interpreting German dance folklore and to bringing traditional customs from different German regions to the stage in sophisticated choreographies. A sensitive and responsible approach to cultural heritage is central to the group's thematic and narrative works using the diverse means of folk dance. In the spirit of longtime choreographer and dance director Thea Maass, the group's goal is to bring folklore closer to people in its living naturalness, expressive richness and beauty. The ensemble, made up mainly of TU Dresden students and alumni, performs regionally and across Germany. As a member of the International Council of Organizations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Arts (CIOFF), it also takes part in numerous folklore festivals and dance competitions abroad. Through contact with folklore groups and people from all over the world, the ensemble gains new impulses for its artistic work and contributes to lively exchange between cultures.
