PERFORMANCES

Every year ImPulsTanz presents more than 60 productions by international as well as Austrian artists and companies in an extraordinary density in the theatres and museums of Vienna.

Festival opening 2023

To mark its 40th birthday, ImPulsTanz 2023 opens on 6 July at 20:45 in the main courtyard of MuseumsQuartier with a big hurray – admission free! And at the same time also celebrates the 10th anniversary of Doris Uhlich’s cult work more than naked, which premiered at the festival in 2013. With a 30-strong and extraordinarily diverse ensemble, she will set the big stage in motion – including a big dance-along finale for everyone! As an entrée, so to speak, the performers of Esben Weile Kjær welcome you with BURN!. It’s worth being on time!

And on 4 August, the Brazilian-Dutch producer and DJ – among others as support act on Mikky Blanco’s tour – LYZZA brings the experimental club scene and electronic avant-garde pop to the B-Side Party.

OPEN CALL: ImPulsTanz Symposium for Dance and Other Contemporary Practices

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.
