Going to ImPulsTanz on a DanceWEB scholarship. Anything you can manage to give is so appreciated.

Dear everyone, 

I have been accepted to go to ImPulsTanz on a DanceWEB scholarship this year. If I can raise the funds I'll be going as a "frog" which means that I will have a role in assisting the other scholarship holders as I've been there already (in 2013). For me this is a amazing chance to re-visit the festival, and renew a load of things around how, why, where and what in this dancing world.  Last time, aswell as this time I was unfortunately not successful in securing funding from the UK Arts Council to support this amazing opportunity, hence starting this fund-raising campaign and reaching out to you.

Here's what going back to ImPulsTanz means:

- getting to know and dance with lots of people from different countries and contexts- sharing knowledge and experiences, connecting and supporting each other

-watching many new performances works in the theatres and museums of Vienna

-training, workshops, research projects galore

-plus, depending how the referendum goes, I imagine some kind of Europe-related soul-searching and strategy making...

Specifically I intend to explore my research around dance and the gallery context (my work Satelliser: a dance for the gallery has a methodology that I believe can help support conversations around working conditions, self-care, togetherness, seeing and showing up). By taking every opportunity to continue the conversations and explorations of this work with everyone, I hope I can do some supportive work in Vienna in this summer. I'll also be going for a swim or two in the Donnau.

I promise to always seek to enrich each new context I am in, to the best of my energetic capacities, and to tell you about all of it- through my works, teaching, writing and beyond. 

If we can all get the funding sorted out, I shall be in the excellent company of other UK-based artists each making the journey to Vienna this summer. 

Anything you can manage to give is so appreciated.
