ATLAS – create your dance trails is a modular training programme in the scope of ImPulsTanz – Vienna International Dance Festival. It offers both artists with first choreographic experience and artists in the middle of their career, including from other disciplines, a dynamic environment for their artistic development. The programme aims to meet two of their central needs: first, to have access to studio space to do research and work on pieces, and second, to receive new input through individual training programmes, by watching international productions and by exchanging ideas with artists from more than 100 countries, as well as through peer-to-peer exchanges among the ATLAS group. Dramaturgical advice is provided by a coach supervising the participants’ work during the course of the programme. In 2023, there will be two groups: one accompanied by dancer, choreographer and lecturer Angélique Willkie and multidisciplinary artist Mélanie Demers, the other by choreographer and performer Marco Berrettini.
The participation fee is 2,600 euro.
To apply, please send the completed form, a CV, a letter of motivation (in English) and a portrait photo by email to atlas@impulstanz.com. Prospective participants are invited to describe in the letter of motivation the project they plan to work on during their stay.
