„We are here, in residency, invited to discuss, explore, propose and reflect the past / present / future of Nomad Dance Academy. As a part of our residency at ImPulsTanz we committed ourself to creating a public moment in which we can share our concerns with the guests and audiences of the festival. For that purpose we received a residency budget of 1000 Euro. We invited you to respond to the question: WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE NOMAD DANCE ACADEMY? and donated the money to the most interesting proposition."
NOMAD Dance Academy, founded in 2005, is a education, research, production and promotion programme of Balkan Dance Network that gathers all available potentials and resources in contemporary dance on local and regional level with the aim to contribute to improvement and professionalization of contemporary dance in the Balkans. An enlarged NDA team (10 - 15 people) travelled to Vienna to stay at ImPulsTanz during a 10-day residency to reflect on the first Academy years and to develop concepts for the future.
All festival guests were invited to participate in this process and to delevop proposals for the NDA future. The favorite proposal will be endowed with a gift of 1000 euro, full amount of the NDA residency budget.
Besides the decision for the favorite concept, the public event will include the presentation of two books about dance and theory and the history of Nomad Dance Academy.
