Plat(e)form(e) 2026

Belgium

À propos

Plat(e)form(e) is a bi-community programme aimed at international programmers. Taking place as part of the Kunstenfestivaldesarts, this programme is organised by Flanders Arts Institute and Wallonie-Bruxelles Théâtre Danse. 

 

This showcase was created with the aim of supporting and showcasing the local scene by drawing on the expertise of international professionals and fostering new networks and lasting exchanges.

Through showcases of projects in development, pitch sessions and group discussions, we aim to create a temporary space for reciprocity, exchange and mutual reflection on what it means to create and present work (inter)nationally today.
 
We invite local and international professionals with a strong interest in discovering new work from Belgian artists in performing and hybrid arts, to attend our three day program in Brussels from 26 to 28 May 2026 at  Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles and Beursschouwburg.
 
Accommodation

The first 25 programmers from outside Belgium will be offered three nights’ accommodation in a hotel in Brussels during Plat(e)form(e). To take advantage of this offer, please sign up now before 23:59 on 24 April.
