Since last week, we welcomed dancer and choreographer Ehsan Hemat and dramaturg, critic and maker Yasen Vasilev at wpZimmer for a two-week residency. Their residency at wpZimmer is a final phase in their research journey of “Everything brings us back to the body”.

From April 4th until 17th we are joined by Pauline Payen who’ll be working on OSTINATO -THE Y!NEWS (working title),  a research project on improvisation scores, looping pedals, diabolical machines, and mass media in the Internets. Find out more about her residency here!

New in residency this week is Icelandic dancer and choreographer Rósa Ómarsdóttir. Joined by a few collaborators, she will be working on Molta: a durational performance installation where five human performers, objects and sounds entangle and form a vibrant ecosystem which the audience becomes immersed into. 

wpZimmer invites you to its second session of Last Month Tonight: A bi-monthly gathering joining residents and the wpZimmer community exploring a question, a practice, a problem or an inspiring text residents encountered during their stay. This time we are joined by Charlotte Nagel, Sina Seifee, Yanis Stefanou, Paula Almiron, Vinny Jones, a few more artists and hopefully you as well! When, where and how do I join? Find out here!

Last Fall we were joined by Biljana Radinoska and Isobel Dryburgh in residency as they worked on ‘She Can Borrow My Body If She Needs’. This week, we are joined by them again for a next phase in their practice.

It’s a full house at wpZimmer during these two weeks! Also joining us in residency is Francesca Grilli, working on ‘Record’. She chose two characters to depict the performance-driven society we live in: a hikikomori,
and a stunt woman.

During the next two weeks, Charlotte Nagel will work on her ecofeminist musical ‘Sincery Yours’ which plays with the codes of pop music to subvert them, starting from an embodied necessity and a sincere political positioning.
