residencies

The axes of the workspacebrussels mission consist of providing young artists with a residency and a working period, and proper support for their early creations. This support is customized according to the specific needs of the artist and his project.

spaces

Workspacebrussels does not have an infrastructure of its own and can therefore not offer technical assistance.
In consultation with our partners (Kaaitheater, Rosas and Brigittines) we make a choice for a suitable space based on the specificities of the project. These spaces may vary from an office for research projects or a bare dance studio for the early stages of creation, to an equipped theatre space for finishing and presenting the work (more information under spaces).

dramaturgical support

Along with a team of dramaturges, artists and critics we also provide dramaturgical support. In addition, SARMA organizes a series of workshops and labs concerning discursive practices, artistic knowledge and secondary aspects of creation.

applications

We don't maintain a fixed deadline for applying for support or presenting a new project. You can e-mail your proposals at wsb @workspacebrussels.be. Please keep in mind that we receive many files on a daily basis. Hence, an answer could be somewhat delayed.

applications should include:

a clear project description
curriculum vitae
planning & partners
timing of the residency
type of space you need

profile

the workspacebrussels resident is:

a professional artist working in the domain of performing arts or transdisciplinary work
emerging in the sense that he or she hasn't got an established structure and a broad network of partners yet
someone who has a clear project proposal or research trajectory

we don't accept:

punctual requests for rehearsal space
requests to present a finished performance in the framework of the Working Title Platforms. All artists whom are selected for Working Title Platform, have been part of the residency programme of workspacebrussels
artists who have already an established structure and a broad network of partners

summer break
We don't organize residencies during July and August.
During the month of July, workspacebrussels collaborates with the summerstudio programme of Rosas & PARTS
