ImPacT

Summer academy: networking and immersion
12–28 July 2025

ImPacT was developed especially for dance students (and recent graduates). It brings the participants into contact with various aesthetic approaches in teaching, performing and related fields. They will get to know the world of dance, establish their own networks and think about possible career choices, with the aim of prompting a process of self-reflection about their future as dance artists. To facilitate this, ImPulsTanz provides spaces for discussion, networking and intensive exchange with peers and mentor Kerstin Kussmaul. In addition to participating in workshops and watching performances, the programme includes events designed to meet choreographers, teachers and organisers of the festival.
