As part of the ImPulsTanz Festival, Public Moves offers free outdoor dance and movement classes every day on the MQ forecourt (main courtyard) of the MuseumsQuartier. These classes, which are also suitable for beginners, are led by various international instructors who teach styles ranging from hip-hop to contemporary jazz.

With Karin, Public Moves offers insight into her choreographic practice, in which we understand our bodies as part of our planet – connected to the ocean, marked by industrial destruction and permeated by what remains invisible. We embody different agents: water, sediment, fallout, decay. This is not about distance or analysis, but about sensual sensing in the here and now – an immersion into encounter. We will feel ourselves and sweat. There are no set steps, only a long flow state guided by a powerful soundtrack. A practice of tender resistance.
