Step into an intensive five-day workshop with Wim Vandekeybus & Ultima Vez, focusing on discovering and sharpening your unique performance quality rather than simply reproducing movement.

Where: Studio Ultima Vez, Brussels, Belgium

When: 12 till 16 January 2026

Deadline for applications: 19/12/2025

This workshop is part of our new educational programme, which has already brought workshops to Brussels, Estonia, Italy, Mexico and Spain. In this upcoming edition, led by Wim Vandekeybus – assisted by Paola Taddeo and Cola Ho Lok Yee – you will explore the intuitive, physical, and theatrical methods that shape our creations while actively contributing to a final showing developed with all participants.

Rather than following and copying, you will be encouraged to dive into personal stories, instincts, and physical impulses to discover how these can transform into layered stage presence. Wim Vandekeybus will guide you in using your imagination to move beyond your personality and step into fictional territories with courage, while integrating theatricality and physicality into a single living language on stage.

Throughout the week, you will immerse yourself in a daily rhythm of physical training and theatrical exploration, moving between dynamic movement principles and improvisation rooted in the spirit of Ultima Vez. Together, we will build toward a shared final showing shaped by your contributions. Along the way, you will engage in solo, partner, and group explorations that foster connection, presence, and the courage to take risks, sharpening your capacity to perform and create with authenticity.
