During their residence in Vienna, the editors of this magazine visited a part of the ImpulsTanz festival in order to map international trends in contemporary dance. They established that, following an increase in the production of contemporary dance, interest in theory (the Maska magazine being an important part of this scene for several years now) experienced a decrease. They divided the production into three categories: A Dance of Great Names (mentioning Ivo Dimchev with Selfie Concert, Jonathan Burrows with Rewriting, a piece by Wim Vandekeybus/Ultima Vez Go Figure Out Yourself and a classic by DD Dorvillier/Human Future Dance Corps: No Change, or 'Freedom Is a Psycho-kinetic Skill'), the position of the viewer and the hermeticisms of the current contemporary dance (analysing Anna Juren's 42, a solo performance by Dani Michel Cutlass Spring and Compass by Simone Augherlony, Petra Hrašćanec and Saša Božić) and new formalisms and contemporary repetition (Tatiana Chizhikova and Roman Kutnov: Time to Time and Ellen Furey and Malik Nashad Sharpe: SOFTLAMP.Autonomies).
