Lace #1: Topographies of Touch brings together experts working at the intersections of art, academic research and activism. Reflecting the deprivation of touch experienced worldwide, Topographies of Touch embodies a meta/physical site where touch is explored in its context-specific capacities: Human-to-Human, Human-to-Institution, Human-to-Non-Human. In practice-based panels and other formats, Efva Lilja, Katy Dymoke, Mayfield Brooks and Deirdre Morris will engage in transmedial exchange with their guests. What if we acknowledge that every touch experience is specific and for good reason?
Artists and researchers are invited to apply for residencies, to design Deep Dives and to be panelists.
Between August and October, ImPulsTanz invites you to its unique workshops in Italy. In collaboration with Artis Umbria – the newly founded dance and health retreat by ImPulsTanz lecturer Kerstin Kussmaul – the five internationally renowned artists Glenna Batson, Sri Louise, Franca Pagliassotto, Terence Lewis and Shinichi Iova-Koga will each teach one week of dance and bodywork. The retreat includes four hours of movement daily and a day off to explore the beautiful Umbrian countryside, go swimming, taste wine or simply unwind under the Italian sun.
With your donation you help ImPulsTanz to make important purchases and advance projects of social diversity and inclusion. You can donate for two different purposes. Donations are tax-deductible.
ImPulsTanz is looking forward to network and invite the international dance world to Vienna once again in 2023. In addition to ATLAS – create your dance trails for artists with first choreographic experience and mid-career artists (coach: Angélique Willkie) and danceWEB for young dancers and choreographers (mentor: Clara Furey), the further education programme ImPacT (mentor: Kerstin Kussmaul), which is dedicated to connect dance students with experienced professionals, will also be offered. Furthermore, the DanceAbility Teacher Training is being held for the ninth time, which is specifically aimed at people who want to teach integrative groups in the field of movement arts (led by Alito Alessi and Connie Vandarakis).
