I had heard the name before but had never seen either photos or archival film of her dancing. The evening began with a half hour film from ORF created by commission Karin Veitl.

Leave a Commentincubator is not performed at one of the traditional central theatres of Vienna, but out at the old Arsenal in a space that looks more like an aircraft hanger than a theatre…. The walls are a dirty white with an industrial feel to them, all metal beams and ribbing.

1 CommentFor the grand opening night party at Arena, Impulstanz began with an impressive multimedia show at eleven o’clock. It was the 100th representation of a 1998 collaboration from Chris Haring (choreography and dancer) and Klaus Obermaier (music and video).
Leave a CommentAfter a week of rain and flooding, the sun broke out on Thursday at last to coincide with the opening of the Impulstanz festival. The Opéra de Paris were the opening guest company and brought an extremely diverse programme to the Burgtheater.
I had seen some of these pieces in Paris when I was there and even reviewed them. But to see them in the Burgtheater was very different. While the Burgtheater is a substantial traditional theater, it is about half the size of the Palais Garnier, the principal residence of the Opéra de Paris. For some of the pieces, they worked much better in the closer quarters. For other pieces the smaller venue didn’t work as well.
1 CommentWhat was great about the party on Goldschlagstrasse at the Sargfabrik was that it wasn’t too big. There were maybe a couple of hundred people. The core crowd.
The music was good and the vibe was really easy-going. There was live vocal accompaniment to a lot of the music. A live musical element adds a lot to any Goa or Trance evening. DJs included Heyoka, Armin, Don Ziggy. Great sets, especially the two am to three am set. If anyone can add any precision to who performed what and when, please leave it in the comments.
As well as the music, there was a full sauna and pool and jacuzzi available to party-goers. Unfortunately I didn’t take pictures there. There wasn’t much light and it closed earlier than the party.
The following is a partial transcript of the IMZ Workshop on Grand Rights at the Golden Prague International Television Festival on 9 May 2005. It is largely of interest to dance and opera arts television production producers.
