New names for Work In Progress at WIPCOOP Ghent

This fall, expect a mix of theater, mime and multidisciplinary work during WIPCOOP at NTGent Minnemeers!
Then, artists from Ghent will each show a Work In Progress and you will get to know new stories about: identity, gender, spiritual awakening, inequality, solidarity….
In short, save the dates for a look at what is brewing and developing in terms of new artistic stage creations in the Ghent scene. WEB! calendar GENT 2022 Thursday, December 8, 2022 Bilge Arkac, Nadia Alhassanat and Anne Kuit (a fourth artist or collective to be announced) will each present up to 30 minutes from their WORK IN PROGRESS.
Afterwards, they will enter into a 1-hour conversation with a company of dramaturgists, workshops, producers and programmers about the work shown and possible support.
During these breaks – Artist Talks – other artists share news about their work or new projects with the audience.

  • Bilge Arkac takes a close look at different stages of spiritual awakening through mime and dance.
    With WAKE UP, she touches on themes of self-reflection, meaning and identity formation.
  • TEGENWOORDIG is a monodrama about solidarity and migration to a text and direction by Nadia Alhassanat.
    Mariam leaves her homeland, leaving behind a war in which she lost both parents.
  • Anne Kuit shares a quest for gender, drag, identity, queer sea creatures, a bobbing head and our all-consuming fear of the unknown with the theatrical monologue LEO.

The Work In Progress will take place during the day and admission is free. Want to read more about the artists and their Work In Progress? Click HERE to access the artist page.
