The working of GRIP in Antwerp is made possible in part by the Open Call for Structural Artistic-Cultural Initiatives of the City of Antwerp.
May 16th, 2024, GRIP had a second MEET UP with the students at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp. This time GRIP's four choreographers, the company manager and the artistic coordinator had a conversation with the students on political engagement.
How do you deal with that as an artist? How do you deal with that as an organisation? What is the link between your personal political views and your work as a dancer/choreographer? And what about the sector's empowerment when it comes to conflicts in the world? It is a pressing issue at this time when we are once again facing censorship at home and abroad.

On December 9 and 12, 2024 Cherish Menzo will be giving a workshop at Montpellier Danse.
