WIPCOOP = Work In Progress Cooperative, a special model of cooperation with numerous partner organizations and artists in Antwerp, Brussels, Mechelen and Ghent. Together we form an engaged network of small and large cultural houses, as yet unknown and established artists, and numerous people active in the arts sector. Each feeds into the network from their own expertise and strength. Together we mix and match the right support for emerging artists creating new work.

WIPCOOP = A developmental course all year round where artists from a Work In Progress (#WORKINPROGRESS) to interim show moments (#SESSIONS) and finished performances (#PLAYS) straightforwardly seek dialogue with a community of listeners: the public, other artists, programmers, dramaturgs, …

In short, WIPCOOP = making space for new voices, stories, forms and languages in the arts.

JOIN THE RIDE!

#WORKINPROGRESS: = artists show up to 30 minutes: October 27 and 28 at Kaaistudio’s (Brussels), November 9 and 10 at Arenberg (Antwerp) and December 3 at NTG Minnemeers (Ghent).
