Move Your Story
Instructor: Jelle De Wit
Dates: Aug 17–21
Schedule: 10:00–13:30
Admission: €315 / Early Bird until July 1: €250
Move Your Story opens a physical laboratory where movement, memory, and composition meet. Beginning from gestures, actions, and fragments that feel remembered rather than invented, participants explore how material emerges from the body. From this raw material, the focus shifts toward composition—how movement is organised in time and space, and how meaning appears (or resists appearing) through structure. Working individually and in groups, participants develop short compositions through an active making process where the body leads and composition gives direction.

Solo Performance Intensive
Instructor: Paul Budraitis
Dates: Aug 17–21 & Aug 24–28
Schedule: Mon–Fri, 16:00–19:30
Admission: €630 / Early Bird until July 1: €500
This two-week, practice-based intensive offers a focused environment for the creation of an original solo performance. Through guided writing tasks, conceptualization prompts, and physical training with a focus on presence, solo performance is approached as an encounter between performer and audience shaped by each artist’s perspective. All approaches are welcome: movement-based work, personal or fictional narrative, lecture, ritual, drag, and other emergent forms based on each participant’s curiosity.

Flux: Urbanism and Performance
Instructor: Jelle De Wit
Dates: Aug 22–23 (10:00–17:00) & Aug 24–28 (10:00–13:30)
Admission: €530 / Early Bird until July 1: €425
In this workshop, participants explore the city as a shifting and living environment. Moving through different urban areas, we walk, observe, and listen—tuning into architecture, people, and rhythms that continuously reshape the city. Back in the studio, these experiences become the starting point for creative work. Using body, text, and materials, participants create short performative compositions that capture moments of the city in flux. The process combines embodied exploration, sensory awareness, and group devising.

This weekend workshop offers a practical introduction to the fundamentals of Biomechanics technique. Through structured exercises, partner work, and work with objects, participants explore physical control, rhythm, balance, and expressive gesture. The focus is on practice rather than theory, offering tools to deepen awareness of the body in action and expand its capacity for performance.
