Schippers&Van Gucht takes its name from the creative duo Jellie Schippers (theatre maker and director) and Myriam Van Gucht (theatre maker and set designer).
S&VG creates interactive works that encourage generations to engage in conversation about creativity and the ability to change one's mind, two important qualities for addressing social issues. Their works capture a moment in time and provide a new perspective on the situation.
Schippers&VanGucht creates installations that combine performance, visual art, and theatre, stimulating all the senses. They make extensive use of video, music, smoke, live performance, and vibrations.
Bureau Pees creates social-artistic theatre in which professionals and local, untrained actors collaborate on current themes. With these performances, Bureau Pees aims to raise awareness and stimulate discussion about these topics. In this way, Bureau Pees creates theatre with impact.
In Bureau Pees' vision, art can make a theme tangible. Moreover, art offers a unique complement to other ways of understanding a subject. Bureau Pees wants to contribute to a meaningful and inclusive society with its performances.
Tiuri gives people with a disability a platform and opportunities to grow and develop their talents. The organisation was a pioneer in connecting culture, care, and education 21 years ago. The strength of Tiuri lies in the balance between professionalism and a warm, family-like feeling. This theatre company transforms vulnerability into strength and shows how true art transcends boundaries. Tiuri teaches us to look with open eyes and recognise the unheard-of talent in every person.
Tiuri closely monitors the growth of its performers. What happens on stage is translated into artistic and organisational plans. This dynamic process ensures that Tiuri constantly evolves and adapts. Tiuri builds a bridge between daytime activities and professional theatre.
Not everyone fully participates in society. Some are at risk of being left out due to factors such as age, background, ethnicity, sexual orientation, health, or a lack of social network.
Zout provides a platform for these individuals and demonstrates that the boundary between being able to participate or not can be very thin.
Through theatre training and performances, the organisation collaborates with social and cultural groups to offer a safe space for growth, freedom of choice, reflection, exchange, and language development. Based on the experiences of the participants, clients, the audience, and the organisation itself are also challenged to think about shared responsibility in societal issues.
The mission of Stormkamer is to create encounters that culminate in theatrical performances about important social themes. The company delves deep into society and creates theatre that examines human interactions. Opinions, relationships, and prejudices are highlighted in a new way.
Stormkamer has a unique approach. Each theme is thoroughly researched over a period of two to four years. This process results in three consecutive productions: De Salon, De Ontmoeting, and Het Sluitstuk. Each of these productions builds on the previous one. This way, a deep understanding of the chosen theme is developed.
Dyane Donck Company (DDC) is the organisation surrounding composer/theatre maker Dyane Donck, who has been developing and executing multidisciplinary projects since 2010.
Music is always the starting point in DDC's projects. This can be music composed by Dyane herself, influenced by pop, classical, opera, and soundscape. But also 'musique concrète', composed of previously recorded sounds. Electronics and technology always play a significant role.
From the music, DDC develops music theatre performances, headphone operas, sound sculptures, multidisciplinary concerts, innovative sound apps, headphone mindfulness experiences, and much more.
Dyane is trained in visual arts, (electronic) music, and technology and collaborates with many other artists and technologists from various disciplines.
