Looking for a studio or workspace in Brussels?

What?

Our residency programme offers free workspace for research, exchange and creation in the performing arts.

• Studio space. When a project is selected, we search together for the right space in the right period. Thanks to our partnerships, we have a number of weeks of studio space available each year at various locations in the city. The calendar changes from month to month, so the planning is made according to availability.
• Technical material. The studios are not technically equipped and no technical assistance is foreseen. To the extent possible, we do provide basic technical material, such as a sound system, micro, projector and so on.
• Accommodation. The options for accommodation depend on the type of residency (see below).
• Budget. We provide an expense allowance.
• Dramaturgy. Residents can rely on basic dramaturgical support from the house dramaturge.
• Sharing. Residents are welcome to share their research, practice or work with the team and/or their co-residents at the end of the residency. This can also take the form of a (semi)public try-out.
• Lunch. Every Tuesday we invite all residents who are working in the studios at that moment for an artists’ lunch, together with the team of workspacebrussels.
• Food for thought. Our library is open to all residents and is developed on the basis of their suggestions.
