Photo album WIPCOOP 2023 // WORK IN PROGRESS Leuven

A look back at a vibrant first in STUK!
With an image report by photographer Karolina Maruszak.

On Sept. 28, Kamal Kebayli (Yaye Daro), Anna Karenina Lambrechts, Augusto Pedraza, Carla Parcianello and the Collective VanVer showed where they stand with the development of new work. During the breaks, Manu Moreau smoothly moderated the Artist Talks with the artists and special guests, including Yannick Bras (Impulsion Dance), Zoë Demoustier, Oihana Azpillaga and Eline Dewaele (Platform In De Maak), Joseph Palframan and Ayoub Sadik. Behind the scenes, Mike Van Alfen guided Feedforward conversations with the artists who had just presented, and a group of cultural workers (including producers, programmers, dramaturges, choreographers and workshops).

That it was a great and inspiring day! We returned home full of impatience to explore next steps with the artists & partners!

Many ♥ to STUK & their wonderful team for the warm welcome of WIPCOOP, audience and professionals for their presence and feedback, artists for sharing their work, Manu Moreau & Mike Van Alfen for guiding the audience and the talks, Louai Hashem for assisting the production, Karolina Maruszak for the beautiful photos, Thijs Paijmans for the video registration + aftermovie to follow soon, Joana Rossi and Lucila Guichon for the framing breaks, Tetty Kayembe for the live online coverage!
