For the first time at ImPulsTanz

French choreographer Maud Le Pladec can be seen for the first time at ImPulsTanz with her piece Silent Legacy, in which 11-year-old Adeline Kerry Cruz and her mentor Jr Maddripp, who also teaches a workshop this year, take Krump to the stage. With Make Banana Cry, Andrew Tay and Stephen Thompson playfully and critically reckon with the Western concept of ‘being Asian’. And Lucy Guerin is a guest with a double feature of Split and How To Be Us.

WORKSHOPS & RESEARCH

157 international teachers and choreographers share their knowledge with beginners and professionals in 254 workshops and research projects at Arsenal.

Kicking off the first workshop week

The extensive ImPulsTanz workshop programme starts on 15 July. You can take a peak yourself, getting to know the range of classes on the day before, 14 July at 15:00 at «impressions’24», an Open Doors event at Arsenal, where teachers who are already in the city will introduce themselves and their workshops in words, but above all through dance. The highlights of the first week include the Contemporary Street workshop by the physically highly flexible RubberLegz and The Pulse Theory, a workshop by Gregory Maqoma that fuses rhythmic movement and cultures from different regions of the African continent.
