comunicato stampa

Social upheaval and global crises are coming closer and closer. So what to do? We will do exactly what dance has always done so far: Moving freely in the most confined of spaces!

Estamira, the protagonist in Alain Platel’s latest oeuvre “Tauberbach” – the opening event, which was co-­‐produced by les ballets C de la B & the Munich Kammerspiele – is the perfect and inspiring example of this free dance spirit. This year’s festival will kick off on 17 July and continue to explore the freedom of movement until 17 August:

One main focus of ImPulsTanz 2014 will be an extended version of the [8:tension] Young Choreographers’ Series. Artists from all over Europe as well as aspiring newcomers from Asia and North America will stage 14 creations from three different continents at several locations: Schauspielhaus, Kasino am Schwarzenbergplatz and MuseumsQuartier Halle G. All of these performances are nominated for the Prix Jardin d’Europe, which – endowed with EUR 10,000 – is the highest paid prize awarded to young contemporary choreographers in Europe at a gala taking place during ImPulsTanz festival.

The main ImPulsTanz programme will feature the elite of international dance. In a ballet gala at the Volkstheater Vienna, Vladimir Malakhov, new artistic advisor of the Tokyo Ballet, will conclude the Wien-­‐Welt-­‐Wettbewerb 2014, during which both winners and stars are set to take dance to new extremes. US choreographer Francesca Harper is one of these stars: she worked as ballet advisor for the film “Black Swan” and has run many ImPulsTanz workshops in the past few years. South Africa’s rising star, Dada Masilo will portray a humoristic contemporary version of “Swan Lake”, which also has its roots in ballet. It, too, will take place at the Volkstheater, which will be the venue of rather diversified artistic genres: renowned violinist Iva Bittová and David Zambrano, leading figure of improvised dance will show this diversity of genres in a fascinating duet. After six weeks of intense work, 35 dancers from Ismael Ivo’s education project Biblioteca do Corpo will claim the dance floor at the Volkstheater before heading off to its South American premiere in São Paulo.

Two performances will celebrate their world premieres at ImPulsTanz 2014 and they are bound to be shocking, realistic and entertaining at once: the award winning DV8 Physical Theatre and choreographer Lloyd Newson are currently creating a new oeuvre that is based on male sexuality, whereas a solo performance by enfant terrible Ivo Dimchev will constitute a musical and visual attack against the audience’s senses. Austrian choreographer Chris Haring will also attempt such an attack in his newest work “Deep Dish”, travelling through time between live choreography and film and through the opulent set design by Michel Blazy. Jérôme Bel’s early work of the same name dating back to 1995 is of minimalistic beauty as it liberates dance from dance itself. Butoh legend Ko Muroboshi, on the other hand, will celebrate another world premiere with “Enthusiastic Dance on the Grave”, a journey into the freedom of movement. Amanda Piña & Daniel Zimmermann / nadaproductions, Florentina Holzinger, An Kaler and Akemi Takeya will complete a very strong group of Austrian dancers and performers.

Not only will there be an ample performance programme during this year’s ImPulsTanz, but the audience itself will be invited on the dance floor as well: live concerts and DJ nights at the legendary festival lounge at the Burgtheater Vestibül or one of the approximately 200 workshops at the Vienna Arsenal will give dancers and performers the opportunity to enjoy an exceptionally diverse festival programme. Important international figures such as French choreographer Mathilde Monnier, the new director of the Centre national de la danse (CND) in Paris, Akram Khan dancers Sade and Kristine Alleyne and Austrian choreographer Doris Uhlich will participate in the 2014 ImPulsTanz workshop programme. Rakesh Sukesh will explore the extraordinary mix of contemporary dance and Kalaripayattu, a form of Indian martial art, L.A. based Austrian dancer Nina Kripas will give insight into the world of hiphop and share the experiences she gathered on stage with the Black Eyed Peas and performer and activist Keith Hennessy will discover the “Queer Shamanic Potential”.
