The IMPACT Project
The IMPACT Master's Programme
IMPACT is a transnational Masters degree in performance and creative technologies in dance. It is an itinerant programme in which students are immersed and educated in different contexts and cultures creating spaces for artistic dialogues, across cultures and disciplines. It offers the possibility for participants to collaborate, expand their network and get to know people, practitioners, and artists working in several contexts and who view the arts from multiple angles. IMPACT engages students in being responsible and accountable in their artistic practices as well as in relation to existing surrounding ecologies.
The study course is designed to immerse the students in the cultural particularities of places in relation to body-based performance forms. The IMPACT consortium designed a programme based on shared pillars resulting in a multi-layered curriculum. The courses are shaped by the unique attributes and cultural contexts of each institution. This shared focus acts as a compass for students’ creative journey as they navigate changing environments.
The IMPACT Online Dance Forum
Developed by the IMPACT consortium and launched in June 2025 at Les Subs, in Lyon, the Dance Forum provides a platform for the project to establish a long-term, international connection with the academic and professional dance world in real time and to develop training and information for the benefit of future students and alumni.
The Power of Collective Development
Our innovative program nurtures an environment where we learn together, engage together and exchange ideas. Cohesion is key and we will provide a space for the future IMPACT master students to cultivate a collaborative community and a network in society.
Commitment to Co-Creation
To be part of IMPACT is to establish a strong connection with the world around you. True innovation is the result of exploring different territories and bringing them into your performance.
Student-Centred Curriculum
Your dance and make process is as unique as your needs, that’s why IMPACT carefully tailors courses to the individual, offering multiple supporting classes and electives per semester.
