Ultima Vez Workshop for professionals in November with Wim Vandekeybus & Maria Kolegova

23–27 November 2026 | Ultima Vez Studio, Brussels

Step into an intensive five-day workshop with Ultima Vez, focusing on discovering and sharpening your unique performance quality rather than simply reproducing movement.

This workshop is part of our new educational programme, which has already brought workshops to Brussels, Estonia, Italy, Mexico and Spain. In this upcoming edition, led by Wim Vandekeybus & Maria Kolegova, you will explore the intuitive, physical, and theatrical methods that shape our creations while actively contributing to a final showing developed with all participants.

At the heart of this process is a spirit of research. In the search for new shows, new ideas, and new approaches, creation is constantly evolving. Each workshop becomes a step in that ongoing research: a space to explore what is emerging, to test new possibilities, and to share them through a collective and creative process.

Rather than following and copying, you will be encouraged to dive into personal stories, instincts, and physical impulses, discovering how these can transform into a layered stage presence. Wim Vandekeybus will guide you in using your imagination to move beyond your own personality and step into fictional territories with courage, while bringing theatricality and physicality together into a single, living language on stage.

Throughout the week, you will immerse yourself in a daily rhythm of physical training and theatrical exploration, moving between dynamic movement principles and improvisation rooted in the spirit of Ultima Vez. Together, we will build towards a shared final showing shaped by your contributions. Along the way, you will engage in solo, partner, and group explorations that foster connection, presence, and the courage to take risks, strengthening your ability to perform and create with authenticity.
