Work In Progress: WIPCOOP 2024 – BXL

2024 already marks the 9th edition of WIPCOOP, the Work In Progress cooperative of Mestizo Arts Platform, in Brussels ! WIPCOOP is an excellent opportunity for the arts sector and the public to get a glimpse of what is brewing and developing in terms of new artistic creations in the performing arts!

Join the ride! 16 and 17 October, artists from the Brussels scene will show where they stand with the development of their new creations. They will each present a maximum of 30 minutes from their Work In Progress. Afterwards, they will talk to a group of dramaturges, workplaces, producers and programmers about the work shown and possible support.

Brussels is the second in a series of WIPCOOP events across several cities.

Also explore Work In Progress in Leuven: OPEK – 26 September – in Antwerp: Kambala (Toneelhuis) Thursday 28 and Friday 29 November – in Ghent: De Kazematten Thursday 5 December. Find out what sprouts from previous editions via the updates available HERE.

We will launch more info on the artists and their work in June.

WIPCOOP – the Work In Progress Cooperative of Mestizo Arts Platform – is an all-year round development track in Leuven, Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent. Its main goal? Making new artistic work visible from the strength of the cooperative, setting up dialogue around it and matching artists and organisations to further develop and perform this work.

WIPCOOP = making space for new voices, stories, forms and languages in the performing arts. An inter-urban co-production in which the arts sector keeps its finger on the pulse of what is developing in the rich breeding ground of our cities and a network in which artists find support in developing their work. A win-win.
