Our first tour to Germany in May 2014 is an immersive experience of the German arts culture. You are invited as an exclusive VIP to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Pina Bausch's company Tanztheater Wuppertal. Through this PINA40 event, you will see a live performance of Bausch's iconic dance Viktor and view rarely seen dance films of the Bausch Company, and gain the opportunity to meet and speak with those closest to her. No dance-lover will want to miss this significant moment of dance history.

With A & M Tours as our guide, you will take in all the sights and sounds of the German arts, culture and people. Berlin offers daring productions and world-class choreography, including Sasha Waltz's Dido & Aeneas, which features underwater choreography right on stage. And the serenity of Wuppertal rivals no other city with its unique beauty and warmth. These 10 days in Germany are sure to be unforgettable.

HEDWIG DANCES is a 29-year old contemporary dance theatre ensemble under the artistic direction of its founder, Jan Bartoszek. Hedwig Dances' bold, interdisciplinary collaborations combine poetic choreography with sculptural artifacts, projected images, and haunting original music. The resulting dances resonate with complexity and depth, provoking emotion, connection, and wonder. In 1992, Department of Cultural Affairs Commissioner Lois Weisberg invited Hedwig Dances to become the dance company-in-residence at the Chicago Cultural Center where it led an extensive dance program for 20 years. Hedwig Dances continues to reach out into the community through public performances, collaborations, and dance education. The Company is named after Ms. Bartoszek's paternal grandmother.
