ImPulsTanz, the international dance festival based in Vienna in Austria, is calling for registrations for its annual program.
Established in 1984 by Karl Regensburger and Ismael Ivo, and “utterly dedicated” to the promotion of contemporary dance, ImPulsTanz is now one of the biggest and most comprehensive dance festivals in Europe, taking over the city’s theatres and nightlife for four weeks.
Today the festival has four main pillars: Performance, Workshop, Research and Social. With about 50 productions in Vienna’s most important venues, more than 200 workshops and many social events, the festival also draws in some of Europe’s most innovative choreographers and thinkers.
Registrations have now opened to apply for the ATLAS program, which allows emerging young dance artists to work intensively on their professional development. The program provides studio space for research and creation, top-class training possibilities with a dedicated coach, a broad range of international dance productions and the exchange with fellow artists from more than 100 countries. As well, weekly showings give a chance to present works or work steps to an international audience.
Successful applicants take part in workshops, receive 20 tickets for ImPulsTanz performances, accommodation, discount food and travel vouchers (within Vienna).
The registration fee is €3,250 and the deadline is May 31, 2018.
The entire festival runs from July 12 to August 12. The names of the teachers and performances will be announced at the end of April.
