Kicking off Plat(e)form(e)!
Today, we launched Plat(e)form(e) 2023, a three-day programme designed for (inter)national professionals attending Kunstenfestivaldesarts. This unique opportunity allows these visitors to explore the vibrant performing arts scene in Brussels, Flanders, and Wallonia.
The programme kicked off this morning at Kunstenwerkplaats, where attendees had the pleasure of meeting Ula Sickle, who presented a bit of her new creation Holding Present. This was followed by the mesmerizing eight-minute experience of Techno Meditations, a piece by Lisa Vereertbrugghen.
Are you interested in joining this day filled with performances and stimulating exchanges? You’re more than welcome to be part of this exciting event!
