Every year (more or less ;-)) MESTIZO ARTS PLATFORM and Thassos join forces for PROSPECTIEDAG for programmers – a day packed with showcases and pitches designed to further disseminate performances by artists from the WIPCOOP network. This edition took place at the cozy Borgerhout wpZimmer, with the following lineup:
Showcases: Sefora “Sesa” Sam | Tamayo Okano | Emiliano Cedillo
Pitches: Anna Karenina Lambrechts | Manu Moreau | Carla Parcianello | Right About Now & Rabina Miya | Marios Bellas | Helena Elshout | Nela Deleu
We also provided visitors with a brochure of performances that (in part) originated from WIPCOOP. You can also find these here.

The day started – as always – with cookies, coffee and tea. Meanwhile, attendees eagerly browsed through the carefully curated brochures with info on the showcases and pitches, complemented by additional strong work from the WIPCOOP network.
Each showcase provided a fascinating insight into what is brewing and growing within the performing arts. A conversation with Tine followed each performance, during which the audience had the opportunity to engage in dialogue with the performers. The pitches were clearly prepared to perfection and captivated everyone. It is abundantly clear that the programmers in attendance have discovered new talent!
In addition to the content highlights, there was also plenty of time for networking. During the delicious lunch – lovingly put together by Charlotte and Joana – and at the end of the day with a glass (or two ;-)), there was plenty of chatter and connection.
We look forward to seeing these artists shine on programs in the future!
A big thank you to all the artists and professionals who shared this inspiring day with us. And a special shout-out to the wpZimmer crew for their help and warm welcome in their cozy space. See you soon!
