BIS PRESENTS: New Works, Emerging Bodies - final chapter Sat 20th of June
Bodies in Space is proud to present the final chapter of New Works, Emerging Bodies, A Performance Evening — a curated selection of works by emerging performers, chosen through their open call launched in November 2025, in collaboration with Kunstenwerkplaats, Caravan production and Le Bamp.
Out of 400 applications from 40 countries across five continents, we selected18 performers, residing in Belgium. We’re very proud to present this selection during 3 big performance weekends taking place in February, April and June.
This time, we will share a particularly bold series of works that push the boundaries of presence, representation, and … taming wild dogs (!).
In a new set-up, instead of spreading the program over two days, we move into a concentrated performance marathon on Saturday evening.
We will show five performances, each lasting 20 – 30 minutes, one after the other. We begin at 20:00 and finish around 23:00, with short breaks in between.
Join us for a rhythmic succession of new voices in dance and performance!
