IDEA
imPACT 05 invited four outstanding artists: Xavier Le Roy (F/D), Antoni Muntadas (ES/US), Miranda Pennell & John Smith (GB) to jointly "trace translations" in contemporary artistic production in the fields of dance, theatre, film, and New Media.
Taking different approaches, the artists not only addressed subtle shifts in the relationship between public and private spheres but were also concerned with investigating artistic translation strategies between the fields of documentary and fiction.

PRACTICE
Spaces both in and around PACT Zollverein generated an inspiring atmosphere for experimenting and reflecting - for lectures, live and multimedia presentations as well as group discussions and actions.

PARTICIPANTS
36 selected participants including students, curators, dancers, choreographers, directors, theatre academics, musicians, dramaturges, performers, media artists, journalists and art critics took part. Participants came from Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Lithuania, Latvia and Australia.

Introduction: Artistic direction and project direction
Studio-Projects: During imPACT 05 participants could take advantage of a forum to present their own ideas, concepts and work extracts and to exchange and discuss ideas with each other as well as with the invited artists.
