imagetanz 2024

March 5th – 24th

March is imagetanz time! Over the course of three weeks, the festival at brut will be presenting a variety of new takes on choreography and performance. At three venues – brut nordwest, studio brut and WUK – international as well as local artists and collectives show a diverse programme made up of numerous shows, some of them world premieres. With workshop formats, panel discussions, a tactile introduction, a film screening and a conference under the title The Art of Access: Creating and Shaping Accessibility, the brut barrierefrei series focuses on questions about the conditions, incentives and artistic practices of accessibility in the performing arts. Studio visits, artist talks, and a festival party complete the 2024 imagetanz schedule. Oh, and by the way: It’s the festival’s 35th birthday this year. Happy Birthday!

Emotional Support Festival

imagetanz 2021

Presenting international guest performances, dance premieres by young artists from Vienna and across Austria, studio visits, workshops and talks, the imagetanz festival marks a beloved March highlight of brut’s programme. Even though planning is not the easiest thing to accomplish at the moment – for reasons known all too well –, we hereby declare that imagetanz 2021 will take place! While it will be somewhat different in shape and duration, its way of being experimental, young, new, international and exciting will be unaffected. We called this instalment the Emotional Support Festival because we know how hard these times are – for many of us, all over the world. That’s why we’re here, that’s why we keep going: We will be improvising, we will be digital and we will use hybrid formats to actually get involved with this present in order to shape it instead of just leaving it to itself.

imagetanz

It’s March again, and it’s time for imagetanz! The 2016 edition of the festival focuses on a fundamental question: how can artists initiate a change in their own communities, neighbourhoods, cities? Do they have this power only through their artworks, or can the artists themselves induct a positive change just through their presence? >>>More
