Participate
The 'participate part' on this website branches into two flourishing branches with, on the one hand, the participatory part, whereby Ultima Vez profiles itself as a Brussels place where makers share their art practices with each other and with a wide audience, including participants from diverse backgrounds in the field of age, physical and mental capabilities, gender, cultural and social context. Ultima Vez aims to structurally and consciously expand the participatory operation in order to make contemporary dance as an art form accessible to a diverse audience, to focus on talent development and to actively involve and connect people in a coexistence in super-diversity. The participatory philosophy has always been an inherent part of the Ultima Vez DNA. The (dancing) body has always been at the center of the experience for both participants and audience. The participatory actions are done through Atelier Quartier, Atelier Kids and Atelier Quartier+.
On the other hand, there are the UV Workshops, in which the participants explore and investigate the universe of Ultima Vez and the specificity of the creation process and the physical, energetic movement that Wim Vandekeybus is known for.
Trajectories
Here you will find an overview of all our upcoming workshops.
Atelier Quartier
Every Saturday, Ultima Vez opens its doors for Atelier Quartier - a free and weekly movement workshop for all ages. Young people, adults, and children can express their creativity through movement with professional artists closely connected to Ultima Vez. You don't need to have a dance background, everyone is welcome to join in!
Atelier Quartier+
Atelier Quartier+ stands for all multi-day workshops or long-term sustainable processes. Working on a specific theme-idea starting point or focusing on a specific technique creates a different dynamic in a group and process and gives the opportunity to deepen.Based on the content and the wishes of the supervisor/artist, it is decided which participants will be attracted, which collaborations will be entered into and how the workshop will be communicated.In addition, we develop long-term trajectories with various makers, in which they conduct artistic research within different contexts and actively involve participants in their artistic practices and processes.
