MQ Forecourt

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 “Collective Future Happening”, Public Moves invites participants into a movement practice that explores collective healing and the politics of tenderness through dance. Healing is understood as a radical practice – one that does not happen in isolation, but in community. By connecting to a collective consciousness, “Collective Future Happening” imagines an alternative future in which gathering, movement and care become acts of resistance and transformation. This is a ceremonial space for everyone seeking new forms of togetherness, reclaiming joy and experiencing healing as something shared. Open to all who dream of a future rooted in connection, this practice invites participants to move, feel and create a space of collective renewal.
