Today, Garage29 is a non-profit association active in the field of choreography and performance art.
This former garage has been converted into a dance studio, offering space and residencies for emerging artists wishing to experiment, make mistakes and move forward, in a caring environment. Every year, about ten emerging artists are selected by open call to join the GINCUBATOR (and if you're worried about missing the call, subscribe to our newsletter!).
Garage29 selects artists who are prepared to experiment beyond the ‘conventional’ framework of a residency, moving away from the solitary creation of the dance studio by opening their work space to the public, visiting local residents or sharing the space with another artist. Two weeks in spring, the Garage becomes a performance space: it's the OFFestival ! It's an opportunity to present the work in progress and/or finished creations of artists who have passed through the GINCUBATOR in a convivial setting. During the summer, the Garage goes into hibernation - we hand over the keys to a young artist shortlisted during the GIN, who will change every week. We give them the space to experiment, while we take the time to renew our energies before coming back... more determined and creative! These are thesummer residencies.
In support of emerging creation, Garage29 is a partner with Les Halles de Schaerbeek, Théâtre de la Vie and BAMP in the Lundynamitewhich presents a stage of work every first Monday of the month, in a cultural structure that is (almost) always different.
