The other part is what all the performers of Working Title #3 have in common: they are all homeless. Well, in a manner of speaking. They are all associated with Workspace Brussels (WSB), an organisation that supports artists by finding them a space to work on their own productions. This usually comes with basic equipment, advice and a platform for communication and presentation.

WSB is affiliated with a wide range of European partners and attracts a varied mix of artists in the capital. At any given time, at least 15 artists are ready to perform (with finished or in-progress works) and a Working Title festival is organised to show their work to the public. Because artists work outside a structured company or group, their work is often very personal, experimental, risky – or all three.

For this third edition, Ultima Vez – the Brussels-based contemporary dance company of Flemish choreographer Wim Vandekeybus – teamed up with WSB and introduces the work of eight young international dancers. These dancers belong to Le Jardin d’Europe, a coalition of European dance institutions that organised a dance festival for upcoming talent last year in Vienna.

Those performances are now also part of Working Title #3. A professional jury will award the best of those with the Prix Jardin d’Europe on the final day of the festival. The Critical Endeavour Project will further fund all performances reviewed by a group of young European journalists, coached by professional dance critics Pieter T'Jonck and Anna Tilroe.

And, possibly the best news for you: tickets to performances are never more than €5, when they cost anything at all.
