imagetanz 2026

Video: Anaïs Horn / Sound: Eilert Asmervik / Text: Alex Hunter

From 04 to 28 March 2026, the imagetanz festival will present new positions in choreography and performance. The festival offers a diverse programme with world premieres, workshops, and much more. There is a special focus on accessible formats such as Touch and Tell Tours, Scent Buffets, and get togethers. With LIFT Tanzkollektiv (Liv Schellander, Irene Giró, Fia/Sophia Neises, Tanja Erhart), Cat Jimenez, Maartje Pasman, Ray Scheinecker, Katharina Senk / Senki, Carolina Cappelli, gergo d. farkas, Elena Lach, Ema Bencikova, and many more.

And action!

From 23 to 26 March, in studio brut, Carolina Cappelli will present B-MOVIES, her work in progress film about the position of female secondary characters in the cinematic frame. With her performance, she invites the audience to reflect on the almost invisible presence of women in movies and the way they are portrayed. But then the story takes an unexpected turn…

imagetanz Finale

A person sits against a black background, leaning back on both hands. Heavy motion blur makes the face appear doubled, like two overlapping profiles. They wear a light T-shirt with a colorful print and a chain necklace.

The imagetanz festival is coming to an end! On the last weekend (27 and 28 March), gergo d. farkas and Viktor Szeri will perform their new pieces: rascal at brut nordwest and unseen at WUK performing arts. And we’re celebrating the grand finale at the imagetanz Closing Party with a DJ-Set by Yinna, presented by The Gap, on 28 March starting at 22:00.

OPEN CALL: Artist-in-Residence Im_flieger CHANGING SPACES Vienna–Vorarlberg

Im_flieger CHANGING SPACES Vienna–Vorarlberg is a national artist-in-residence exchange project for contemporary dance and performance in cooperation with netzwerkTanz Vorarlberg. In addition to working on their own artistic project, encounters and exchanges with local artists are promoted during the 4-week residency in Vorarlberg. The residency is advertised for one project and one person. Deadline: 19 April 2026
The five performers stand, sit, and lie together as a group. L speaks and gestures, I listens attentively, R and F gaze into the distance, T glances at R with a smirk. Five white bodies are connected, linked together. Behind them, screens and beanbags, drenched in pink-purple light.

Taking the time – Take your time!

On 05 March, we will meet at brut nordwest and, together with Ema Benčíková, Elena Lach, and LIFT Tanzkollektiv, invite you to a moment of slowing down. We will explore how to relax during a festival – in the midst of it, and afterwards. What does your body really need to unwind? Accompanying the event at brut nordwest, we are providing online materials with scores and instructions for relaxation and regulation, so that people who cannot attend in person can still participate.
