Friends of ImPulsTanz are ImPulsBringer

As an ImPulsBringer, you support emerging talents, enable artists to realise new projects and, through independent financial support, help safeguard the diversity of contemporary dance at ImPulsTanz. The Friends’ Circle brings together people who do not only wish to experience art, but to actively shape it – across generations and in close proximity to the festival itself.
