Summary/Abstract: Agnieszka Sosnowska writes about ImPulsTanz – an international dance festival taking place in Vienna (14 Jul-14 Aug 2016). The festival features performances as well as workshops for dancers and choreographers. The author mentions, among others, performances by the Bulgarian choreographer and performer Ivo Dimchev, who, in his Operville, presented in Vienna, clashes the traditional form of the opera with contemporary performance. Sosnowska is critical towards the performative exhibition at the Leopold Museum, attempting to thematise the relationship between dance and visual arts. On the other hand, she appreciates the performance Critical Joy created within the space of Mumok Museum. The production, created in three days, was the result of cooperation between the electro music star Peaches and the Canadian performer Keith Hennessy, but it also involved about twenty young performers, dancers and drag queens.
