Brussels Intensive SITI Workshop

with Ellen Lauren and Will Bond

organized by Kosmocompany

on the impulse of Marc Fiévet and Clément Thirion

hosted by Théâtre Varia

May 14th to 24th 2024

We are proud and deeply honored to welcome for the first time in Brussels SITI Emeritus Artists Ellen Lauren and Will Bond, offering a unique opportunity for artists to gather in a studio! Through intensive work with the Suzuki & Viewpoints, we will nurture collective strength and make shared inspiration flourish.

We, Marc Fiévet and Clément Thirion, both European SITI Alumni Ambassadors, teamed up around our common wish to push forward our knowledge and practice of the Suzuki & Viewpoints. We are profoundly grateful that both Ellen Lauren and Will Bond accepted the invitation, allowing us to share this invitation with you all!

As Clement’s company (Kosmocompany) has been sharing the training for many years through workshops, forging on the way the core of its creative process, it naturally became the nest of our project. Moreover, while SITI Company (NYC) has entered its final chapter through the Legacy Program, Kosmocompany is now entering a new thrilling era of its development and is paving the way for future ambitious works. We thus see this workshop as a way of moving forward all together, holding the torch of creativity and human connection in a changing and tumultuous world.

We will have the privilege to work within the Studio Varia, the small performance space of Théâtre Varia, during an exciting period in Brussels as the international Kunstenfestivaldesarts will be running through the city (with plenty of shows, performances, parties…) 

We are delighted to host this exceptional opportunity for artists to meet, train, work, and create!
