Kampnagel Hamburgen

(Performance and production space)

Kampnagel is Germany’s largest independent space for theatrical rehearsal and performance. In 1984, the late-nineteenth-century crane factory was converted into a multifunctional theatre building. The site has six stages, a cinema, rehearsal rooms and a restaurant.


Profile

Its use ranges from guest performances and the summer festival to productions by Hamburg’s independent theatre companies, and to youth theatre and the support of new artists. The programme covers a wide spectrum of aesthetic positions and tendencies in theatre, dance and performance, as well as in music, the fine arts and architecture. The current director is Amelie Deuflhard.

Every year the International Summer Festival hosts visiting dance and theatre companies’ performances.

Since 2007 the K3 Choreographic Centre, created by Hamburg’s branch of the German Tanzplan (Dance Plan) initiative and directed by Kerstin Evert, has been hosted on site in a space formerly used for exhibitions.

Kampnagel is a think tank, a place for controversies and conferences, but also a concert venue, music lounge and club. It looks to harness new working models to experiment with contemporary forms of public life, interactivity, participation and knowledge transfer.
