Work In Progress: WIPCOOP 2023 – Leuven

Join the ride: Kamal Yaye Daro, Carla Parcianello, Anna Karenina Lambrechts, Collectief VanVer (Jarne Van Perck & Cynthia Verpoorten) and Augusto Pedraza will each show 30 minutes from their Work In Progress. Afterwards, they will discuss for 1 hour with a company of dramaturgs, workshops, producers and programmers about the work shown and possible support. During these breaks, other artists talk about their work, new initiatives or projects in artist talks with the audience.

WIPCOOP – the Work In Progress Cooperative of Mestizo Arts Platform – has for many years been a unique collaboration in the arts sector in Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent, more recently in Mechelen and now also in Leuven.

Its main goal? Making new artistic work visible from the strength of the cooperative, setting up dialogue around it and matching artists and organisations in order to further develop and play and spread this work when finished.

WIPCOOP = making space for new voices, stories, forms and languages in the performing arts. An inter-city co-production in which the arts sector keeps track 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, in other words.

The Work In Progress takes place during the day and it is free. Doors: 9h30.
