Working Title Festival

@ Kaaistudio’s / De Kriekelaar / De Pianofabriek / La Raffinerie / Théâtre Marni

The first festival of WorkSpaceBrussels

Working Title is the first festival by WorkSpaceBrussels, the workplace established on the initiative of Rosas and Kaaitheater. All the projects the festival presents received support from the workplace. Some have been staged before and for others this will be their first confrontation with an audience.

Apart from ‘home-grown’ products, the programme comprises projects created on the basis of the European APAP network (Advancing Performing Arts Project). Supported by the European Union, this year the APAP has set ten international artists to work. Their projects have been shown in Berlin, now in Brussels and in Zagreb in December.

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL - In the past decades, a wave of "self development" theories and practices has invaded the planet. ‘The body is the physical aspect of the personality and movement is the personality made visible’, writes Mary Starks Whitehouse, who developed  the “Authentic Movement” practice in the fifties. In a humorous way, The Visitants invites spectators to witness the 'inner journey' of the performers, exposing  their intimate experience to the public’s gaze.

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL - An intimate dance performance about relationships. Our relationships are generated by convictions (or the shadows of them), feelings, experiences, winks, expectations, secrets, and so on. When a third person looks at us from the outside…

THE ART OF SURVIVAL PARCOURS - Portraits of people sitting still and listening intently. But who are they listening to? Who are the others who are talking?

Roger Bernat
11-12-13-14-15/11/2008
THE ART OF SURVIVAL PARCOURS - Roger Bernat, a theatre-maker who originates from Belgium, has for some years been creating highly socially-committed films about and with various social groups, such as transvestites and taxi drivers, in Barcelona. In Public Domain he once again breaks open theatre and involves the audience in the events in a way that is subtle but non-participatory.

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL - (g)hosts is a dance performance, a sound experiment and a radio broadcast. We enter the theatre to find a world of unnerving illusions. A place haunted by opinions, sensations, emotions and other presences. Together we’ll explore the testimonies of the performers fantasy while channeling a few along the way. Please don’t be scared, be invited.

Anne Juren, Marianne Baillot, Alix Eynaudi & Agata Maskiewicz
12-13/11/2008
WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL - Komposition was created in three lengthy periods of work in which the dancers rehearsed before a ‘live audience’. The dance performance circles around the theme of the group: how do we look at a group, how do we experience a group and how does the audience appear to a group on stage. The dancers have performed with companies like Rosas and Superamas.

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL - The spectator is allowed to select film excerpts from a list of 35 titles, a system very similar to that of the jukebox. The performers occupy the positions of the camera crew and perform choreographic works based on the original movements of the camera, to the sound of the original soundtrack but without the original images; these take shape in your imagination.

Good Move / Eleanor Bauer
14-15/11/2008
WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL - Eleanor Bauer (ex-PARTS) has created a dance performance full of references to and influences from street dance; at the same time it is also a book, a website, a series of new songs, a screensaver and a dance fad. The New York Times: ‘Dynamite to perform a dance that makes you think’. De Morgen newspaper: ‘A stiff cocktail of images and statements that leaves you feeling completely confused at the end of the performance’.

Mekhitar Garabedian & Céline Butaye
14/11/2008
WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL -  Memory, identity and history play a central role in the work of Mekhitar Garabedian. An Armenian migrant in Europe, he touches on very personal problems, but his discourse transcends the anecdotal and expands to a universal level. Together with Céline Butaye he worked on a publication full of photos from his archives. Both have been involved in one another’s work in the past.

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL - Forces is based on a study of the four universal forces that dominate our world: gravity, electromagnetism, weak interaction and strong interaction. The choreographer translates physics into dazzling physical scenes and astounding images. To do this he works with different dancers for two weeks every month.
