Working Title Festival 2019
On 28 and 29 June a new edition of the biannual Working Title Festival will take place at workspacebrussels, Kaaistudio's and Kanal - Centre Pompidou. Expect an exciting mix of projects in different phases of the creative process: creations, research and conversations at the intersection of dance, performance, video art and installation.
At workspacebrussels no space will be left unused. From top to bottom our house will be occupied by the artists' work. Niko Hafkenscheid & Valentina Stepanova, Wouter Krokaert, Kim Snauwaert & Anyuta Wiazemsky and Emi Kodama & Elias Heuninck are presenting ongoing installations and exhibitions to be discovered for free throughout the entire festival. Next door at the Kaaistudio's Kosi Hidama will set up an interior garden and Nazanin Fakoor will immerse you in her performative installation Rainbow. In the evenings you can see work-in-progress, avant-premieres and performances by Anneleen Keppens, Dan Mussett & Laurent Delom, Gosie Vervloessem, Wouter Krokaert and Kasper Vandenberghe. During Working Title Festival we like to take our time to dig a little deeper and to wander beyond the well-trodden paths. The salon Perspectives on landscape invites the festival artists along with the audience to question and discuss the notion of landscape that connects most of the artists' work. We conclude this edition at Kanal - Centre Pompidou with a spectacular ritual by Kasper Vandenberghe. As a part of his three-piece work Calculated Risk, the artist will drop down like a rock from a height of 4.20 meters. Have a nice festival! |

Perspectives on landscape
This salon invites festival artists whose practice revolves around the concept of landscape to share their perspectives.
Wouter Krokaert
Composities in het wilde weg
Within a series of small compositions, bodies are placed and displaced in relation to each other, in a very precise manner but without complying with rigid rules.
Niko Hafkenscheid & Valentina Stepanova
Moshenka
In this documentary installation Niko Hafkenscheid and Valentina Stepanova investigate contemporary rural Russian countryside.
Nazanin Fakoor
Rainbow (try-out)
We are shaped by an infinity of reflections, like a rainbow. This immersive installation – literally – reflects our differences and multiple identities.
Kasper Vandenberghe
Calculated Risk
Kasper Vandenberghe climbs on a scaffolding clad in a protective suit and then drops down like a rock. It is calculated recklessness.
Kosi Hidama
Garden of solid subtleness
Hidden at the basement of workspacebrussels, lies Kosi Hidama’s atelier. Slowly his work started invading all the other spaces of the building.
Gosie Vervloessem
The Horror Garden
Do people treat plants with enough respect? What happens when plants break out of the background of our living rooms?
Dan Mussett & Laurent Delom
dddddddddduetttttttttttttttttttttttt (try-out)
The first collaboration between Dan Mussett and Laurent Delom: an attempt to encompass their entire ongoing relationship into a single duet.
Anneleen Keppens
Movement Essays (try-out)
Movement Essays is an encounter with dancer and choreographer Anneleen Keppens, inspired by the personal essay in the tradition of writer Michel de Montaigne.
Emi Kodama & Elias Heuninck
Snowflake on the sand
Emi Kodama and Elias Heuninck encourage you to look at an ordinary object and explore a vast imagined landscape through its miniature world.
Anyuta Wiazemsky Snauwaert & Kim Snauwaert

You can’t marry for papers only. What if two artists got married, without having a romantic affair?
