Meet the Makers: exchange ideas with contemporary performing artists

Meet the Makers is an opportunity for performing arts programmers to exchange ideas with contemporary artists whose exciting and engaging work has not yet integrated international stages.

Following artists will present his or her interests, current projects and future plans:

• Muddar Al Haggi – theatre (Syria/Germany)
• Wael Ali – theatre (Syria/France)
• Wael Alkak – music (Syria/France)
• Yazan Iwidat – dance (Palestine/Belgium)

• Kubra Khademi – performance art (Afghanistan/France)
• Enkidu Khaled – theatre (Iraq/Belgium),
• Mey Sefan – dance (Syria/Germany)
• Wihad Sulaiman – theatre (Syria/Germany)

Context

These artists join Kunstenfestivaldesarts for a few days to dive into its programme and discover the work of some of their international peers; through meetings and visits in Brussels, they will get in touch with some of the essential players in the international collaboration circuits. They will also meet each other and take the time to explore their own positions and interests and perhaps find common (international) ground.

The artists are from a variety of performing arts disciplines and countries: they are currently based in France, Germany and Belgium where they create exciting and engaging work.
