The ImPulsTanz Dance Contest was a huge success and a very special evening. A big thank you goes out to the host of the night Storm, DJ Worst Messiah for the amazing music selection, the jury for their expertise and, of course, the wonderful audience for the great atmosphere and support. This year's happy winner is Vasko Nasonov from Moscow. We sincerely congratulate and look forward to welcoming him at ImPulsTanz 2020!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! For watching so many of our performances, for over 100 sold out shows, for 6,900 workshop bookings, for dancing with us in the Festival Lounge and at the ImPulsTanz Parties. We look forward to next year when we stir Vienna up again at ImPulsTanz 2020, from 09th July to 09th August.
The dance theatre has lost one of its pioneers and ImPulsTanz a good friend. Shocked and in deep mourning we have to announce that Johann Kresnik passed away on Saturday, 27th July 2019 in his 80th year of life. MORE
The choreographer, performer, ImPulsTanz co-founder and director of the Balé da Cidade de São Paulo, Ismael Ivo, was awarded with the Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art after the Austrian premiere of the piece Um Jeito de Corpo, a choreography by Morena Nascimento to music by Caetano Veloso, on 23rd July 2019 at Burgtheater Vienna. Congratulations!
Yesterday, on 11th August 2019, the ImPulsTanz – Young Choreographers' Award, sponsored by Mikme, was awarded among the [8:tension] artists. Host of the night was the wonderful FM4 moderator Riem Higazi. The award went to not one but two performances: Such Sweet Thunder by Tobias Koch, Thibault Lac & Tore Wallert and Tatiana Chizhikova & Roman Kutnov with Time to Time! Congratulations from the bottom of our hearts!
Many thanks to our donors and sponsors, such as Casinos Austria of the project Lass springen! They made it possible for over 30 children and teenagers to take part in workshops that would have stumbled over financial hurdles without this support. We would also like to thank Ute Bock, Flucht nach Vorn and SOS Kinderdorf, who helped us realise this project. Find out MORE
