»In C« at ImPulsTanz Festival in Vienna

The ImPulsTanz Festival began in 1984 and was founded by cultural manager Karl Regensburger and dancer and choreographer Ismael Ivo (†) in the Austrian cultural metropolis of Vienna, at that time still under the name Sommertanzwochen (Summer Dance Weeks). Since then, it has developed into one of the most renowned dance and performance festivals in the German-speaking world. The programme of international productions is regularly complemented by a diverse range of workshops. We are delighted to be guests for the first time!

Sasha Waltz's colourful exploration of the world of minimal music is based on Terry Riley's revolutionary and open composition of the same name. Together with 10 dancers, the choreographer developed choreographic material in spring 2021 that follows a similarly variable structure and therefore leaves room for ever new variations. »In C«  is an experimental, constantly evolving process that takes the long-standing working approach of Sasha Waltz & Guests and the dialogue between dance, music and space to the next level, both digitally and analogously.

Since its world premiere livestreamed from the Radialsystem in March 2021, the project has toured successfully worldwide and has already been seen in more than 10 countries and 24 cities – with both recorded and live music from a wide variety of musical ensembles, including local ones. At the same time, the material has been passed on to a steadily growing international dance community: diverse, participatory, international and sustainable »In C«  projects, workshop formats and ever new structures have emerged and continue to emerge worldwide.
