Human Works is a company founded by the theater artist Adrián Minkowicz and the dance artist Anne-Linn Akselsen. Their first project, “Dry Act #1: Corpse Aroma” was premiered in December 2009, in Brussels, at “Les Brigittines”, within the frame of the international festival “Working Title #3”. “Dry Act #1” is the first part of a trilogy. The second part, “Dry Act #2: South Domino” is planned to premiere in 2012.

”Be good to the always” is an orientating map, a plan B, a waltz with the homeless or your potentially best random thoughts this afternoon. But perhaps more than anything, this performance is a survival guide to where you are and what’s your city, at this current, pleasant moment. This is a site-specific quest down the rabbit hole of statistics, history and mapping as we go exploring, re-writing, destroying and rebuilding piece by piece that which you call home, -if home is this city.
”Be good to the always” is a interdisciplinary performance, concerning cities and their identity or city attributes, dependent on where the work is being performed. A site-specific work in a set frame, - so to say.

Venues and times vary for each artist
Over the course of the 9 days of the festival, the Artists' Bubbles are special moments when spectators and artists can talk.
The artists present their references and sources of inspiration as a way of understanding their artistic world and give an insight into their background (other works by the artist, influences, culture…)
This is yet another way for the spectator to make the most of Rencontres//03.

The same video material is sent to each invited artist one month and a half prior to the festival.
Each can use it anyway they want to come up with a spontaneous artistic act in return: extension, disruption, diversion… of the movie clip.
The open artistic act can be a text, a video, a photograph, a collective or individual proposal on stage, etc.
Each artist or artistic team will show their act during the closing night of this third edition, on Saturday, May 28, 2011.
