The danceWEB Scholarship Programme 2021 took place from 14 July to 18 August in the frame of ImPulsTanz – Vienna International Dance Festival. A total of 46 participants from 28 countries were welcomed, selected by the Artistic Committee 2020/2021 and the mentors of the Programme 2020/2021, which were taken care of by Sara Lanner and Lina Lev. The ImPulsTanz Festival 2020 had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the selected participants have been granted a spot in this year’s festival. This year's mentoring team consisted of the Viennese French choreographer and performer Anne Juren and Sweden based French dancer and choreographer Frédéric Gies. Anne Juren is a renowned choreographer, dancer and performer. Frédéric Gies, who showed their work “Tribute” in collaboration with the Swedish Weld Company, reflects in their work experiences deriving from the techno and rave scene as well as somatic practices, which Gies themselves calls “Technosomatics”.
