apply for a residency - Work Space Brussels

the residency program is FULLY BOOKED untill JUNE 2013
In the SUMMER time, the standard residency program is SUSPENDED from the beginning of JULY untill the end of AUGUST

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, Ultima Vez 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 or coaching. Amongst others workspacebrussels has worked with Bart Capelle, Marnix Rummens, Pierre Rubio, Lars Kwakkenbos, Esther Severi, Davis Freeman, Mette Edvardsen, Etienne Guilloteau, Nada Gambier, ... as mentor, coach or dramaturge.

applications

We don't maintain a fixed deadline for applying for support or presenting a new project. 
Please use the following template to apply for a residency

The artistic coordinator gets back to each applicant before making a selection for the residencies. every year an average of 40 projects is selected for a residency at workspacebrussels. Please keep in mind that we receive many files on a daily basis. Hence, an answer could be somewhat delayed.
