WORKSHOPS & RESEARCH

HIGHLIGHTS

Dance and (Self-)Care

Among the 255 workshops and research projects this year, there are some classes that place a special emphasis on preparing the body for dance in a particular way and focus on (self-)care. Claire Lefèvre offers Care Work for exhausted Freelancers and overwhelmed Artists, in Julischka Stengele’s workshop Perceiving the World – Performative Exercises for Care, the interplay of time, attention and body can be examined in solo, duo and group exercises, and Christopher Matthews invites you to A Queer Houseparty: Weekender in an inclusive and intimate space for queers.

Shake the Break for kids and teens

Together with Dschungel Wien, ImPulsTanz is once again inviting children and teenagers aged between 3.5 and 18 to 13 Shake the Break workshops. While Cecilia Kukua offers an animal-themed treat, Suni Löschner talks about dolphins and bubbles. Sarah Gaderer makes you as strong as a snail and Johanna Figl and Martina Rösler transform you into a Power Animal. And for all HipHop fans, Markus Eggensperger, Ákos Hargitay and Attila Zanin have the coolest moves.

Research for pros

Professional dancers and choreographers have the opportunity to apply to take part in process-oriented research projects – a total of 13 are available this year. Sophia Rodríguez deconstructs the falsity and truthfulness of self-relationships, while Raja Feather Kelly releases repressed fears. Matteo Marziano Graziano, Laurent Pellissier and Daniela Zorrozua Cantillo are all about drama, opera and opulence. Be Heintzman Hope awakens the stripper Gollum in us and with Alex Franz Zehetbauer and Jen Rosenblit it’s off to the bathhouse.
