Adam told me about his transition from being a ballet dancer in big companies to making his own work as independent choreographer, about the attraction as well as danger of dancing until complete exhaustion. How the collaboration with musician Moritz Haas evolved and what a drunk stranger on the U8 in Berlin has to do with his piece.

Applications for danceWEB 2026 are open now and until 5 December 2025!

The danceWEB programme is a 5 week further education and exchange programme taking place every year in July and August in Vienna in the frame of ImPulsTanz – Vienna International Dance Festival. danceWEB 2026 takes place from 8 July to 12 August 2026.

This programme for young professional dancers and choreographers focuses on the exchange of ideas and knowledge, not limited by national borders, on concentrated further training, on meeting with internationally renowned artists gathering at ImPulsTanz with the aim to orient the career of its participants and establish a network.

This week it's Mélissa Guex, who is featured in our [8:tension] Podcast! Her work DOWN (full album) was invited to this year’s [8:tension] Series. 

She talked about her fascination for big crowds. About the magic of instant connection and how she met the drummer Clement Grin, with whom she created the piece DOWN. How she sometimes prefers speaking with her body to speaking with her mouth. And the importance of warming up and accepting downs.

Almud Krejza was talking with Mélissa during ImPulsTanz Festival 2025.

Marika Peura is this week's guest at the [8:tension] Podcast! Her work Amalgam Melee was invited to this year’s [8:tension] Series. 

She talks about violence – and what difference it makes, who defines what violence is. About the longing for belonging. How to appropriate a culture which is your own, but is still not very familiar. And about dynamics one cannot control, neither in real life nor on stage. 

Almud Krejza was talking with Marika Peura during ImPulsTanz Festival 2025.

We kicked off season #3 of our [8:tension] Podcast and this week we welcome Lisen Pousette and Olivia Rivière!
