deufert&plischke teach seminars and workshops for professional performers and amateurs, for specific communities and even in completely different areas such as city councils. As part of their projects, they have also worked in asylum seeker shelters, schools and old people's homes. From 2007 to 2009, they were involved in university teaching, initially as collaborators in the development of the «Performance Studies» programme at the University of Hamburg, and from 2010 as professors in the development, consolidation and accreditation of the BA programme «Dance, Context, Choreography» at the HZT / UdK Berlin. deufert&plischke have been guest professors at many universities (Folkwang University of the Arts, Institute for Contemporary Dance, Scenic Research Bochum) and have been guest professors/teachers at the Justus Liebig University in Gießen, P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels, the Berlin University of the Arts, among others.

deufert&plischke teach their own artistic working process, which is based on strict collaboration.

Their choreographic work focuses on how complex and interesting structures arise without imitation and without the leading role of a choreographer/director, but through the permanent reference to each other. Their choreographic self-understanding is that choreography can be a temporary society and not just reflect it. Based on this understanding, they explore topics such as physicality, clothing and memory.
