Garage29 is a creative space that offers residency programs designed to test and experiment with different working environments, allowing choreographic ideas to emerge. In Brussels’ cultural landscape, this venue occupies a key position between training facilities and programming structures. The structure works exclusively with emerging artists, enabling them to reflect on their work, become part of a professional network and gain new perspectives.
Workspacebrussels supports performing artists in developing a sustainable artistic practice. The organization offers a flexible framework for research and creation, ranging from studio residencies over (co)production and administration to advice on all aspects of development and creation. By connecting artists with programmers, partners and audiences, workspacebrussels acts as an indispensable link in the artistic ecosystem of research, production and presentation.
