House artists
Workspacebrussels has a long-term engagement with a house artist. For the duration of 2 to 3 years, workspacebrussels is their administrative homebase, sparring partner and go-to residency space. The aim of these trajectories is to deepen and/or professionalise the artist's practice.
Our current house artist is:

She later came across contemporary dance, which led her to P.A.R.T.S. In 2024, Mooni created the new group choreography STILL / ALIVE, on the topics of superheroes, sciencefiction and technology. The group piece was followed in 2025 by a solo based on the same research material.

Dancing at the Crossroads (As We Walk)
2021 - 2023
A collective with Sujata Goel, Cecilia Lisa Eliceche, Carlos Maria Romero aka Atabey Mamasita, Fabian Barba, Moya Michael & Jolie Reymond Ngemi
Dancing at the Crossroads (As We Walk) is a space for coming together to write, work and converse. The six artists are a group of non-European, migrant dance professionals who have transited or are based in Flanders. Their work seeks to unveil and confront coloniality and racism in the international dance networks established in western Europe. They also constitute a mutual aid sociality of remembrance in the frame of which they cultivate love and beauty.
