ERECTING THE HEXAYURTS with Vinay GuptaAkenkaai 2 quai des Péniches, 1000 Brussels
Vinay Gupta invented the Hexayurt as an incredibly cheap shelter for those in need. Everybody is invited to come and learn how to build a Hexayurt. Gupta also co-founded the Institute of Collapsonomics. In the evening Vinay Gupta will introduce us to the study of failing social and economic systems. How do we avoid cascading collapse ? He sees globalisation, peak oil and climate change through the lens of global poverty – “the capitalist holocaust”. While we talk about the collapse of “the world as we know it”, most people alive today are already living outside of that world.

The TOLART: a complementary currency for the arts sector
(Workshop, free !)
A complementary currency is one that exists alongside the standard euro, dollar, yen, etc. It is ‘an agreement amongst a group of people and/or enterprises to accept non-traditional currency units as a means of exchange. The currency is called complementary because it is not intended to replace the conventional currency unit, but should serve to fulfil social functions for which the official currency unit was not designed’. [Lietaer, B., Het geld van de toekomst, p. 51]
In this workshop we shall be asking whether there is any point to or future for this sort of complementary currency in the arts sector.

The Power of No
NO is the road to prosperity. Most of the time we know exactly what to say NO to, but nonetheless we often end up saying YES, or MAYBE, or we run away. This highly interactive workshop gives you an opportunity to explore your NO. You will learn how you sense a NO in your body and what helps or keeps you from expressing it. Only when you can say NO, will you be able to truly say YES.
Eva Karia is a facilitator, trainer and psychotherapist. She lives in London and works in the UK, Germany and across Europe. She is passionate about conflict facilitation, deep democracy, dance and sexuality- all the things that involve people and high temperature.

Gilles Kasverdenko[daily from 8h until 00h]
A possible car-usage.
Omnipresent object of our culture, the car today attempts to do the splits between an exagerated individuality and a forced collectivity. Focussing on an era (the 70' before the car became problematic) and a genre (the Z-movie, perfect magnifying glass for our purpose), this selection of movies proposes an interrogation of this temporal as well as cultural split.
Manly extension, symbol of a "fuite en avant", or of a freedom reached through an overrunning of all prohibitions, incarnation of the evil, or tool at the service of a dystopia pulling its passengers in a spiral of deadly lust, the car, through its manifolds interpretations, cristallizes our fantasies and fears.

Mette EdvardsenCHANGING TENTS
In November 2010, the project Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine took place in a public library in Leuven. A group of performers memorized a series of books. Together they formed a library of living books. The visitors of the library could borrow the books individually. At the occasion of Changing Tents the ‘books’ will meet again to see what remains of the experience. The audience is invited to participate in this open book meeting, read excerpts and exchange with the books.

'believe it or not'
[daily between 11:00 - 11:15]
Each day we will express our believe in another currency by a short ceremonial service.
Money
only works if everybody accepts it. And this trust — which is the basic
condition of the very value of money— is fed in turn by the common
belief in its working.
For the ones, who believe and the ones, who doubt: recharge your values. Now.

FREE TO WORK Co-working Tent
Agnese Cornelio---> Co-working Tent[duration : one cup of Cappuccino]“If it wouldn’t suck there would be no need to try to make something out of it”
(from an internet discussion group)
Free to work is a café corner to exchange stories of changing works.
As a worker we are asked to be flexible. So we adapt permanently ourselves
to the work or sometimes we are able to adapt the work to us. For a
changing world, can we subvert the sentence “work makes one free” and
change in “one makes the work free”? Can we create an individual way
to approach an already existing work structure?
Work biographies become often examples and inspiration for other people.
Sometimes even life and work models. But what influences us mostly:
Peoples biographies or the models that they propose and that we can
borrow and transform?
I will invite you to a glas of wine or a cup of cappuccino if you tell me
(and my camera) a story about your changing work. Meanwhile you have
access to other visitors' stories and let yourself be manipulated by that.

OIDIPOUS, MY FOOT (theatre | in english | premiere | € 16/12)
The myth of Oedipus, who kills his father and marries his mother, is one of the most influential stories in Western culture. Oidipous, my foot is based on insights and principles completely different. Oedipus suffers from his wish to blame and restrain himself. This repressive habit of selfcondemnation, says Jan Ritsema, fuels the general feeling of depression that dominates society today. This Oedipus takes his fate into his own hands and his potential destinies are countless. Together with fifteen performers Ritsema will present a theatrical show with stylistic references to the work of Ariane Mnouchkine, The Wooster Group, Bob Wilson, William Forsythe and The Nature Theater of Oklahoma.

Hexagram corresponds to his/her psychical state.

THE ROBIN HOOD INVESTMENT FUND FOR THE PRECARIAT[Workshop]
The idea and operation of the Robin Hood is based on quite intense analysis of functioning of the financial economy, biopolitical economy, semiocapital and its relationship with the problem of organization (its inoperability, let’s say). We don’t think that changed nature of the organizational problematic has been understood really yet at all.
So what is it that people, the precariat, the cognitariat, the third estate, more and more people in the future at the mercy of semiocapital really need?

LEAVE,
the closing choreography on Sunday deals with different notions of
‘leaving’: going away, exiting, evacuating, issuing, escaping,
disappearing, moving on..During the week all inhabitants as well as
visitors of Changing Tents are asked to tell – as if they’re looking
back to the past – how a colony once situa- ted on the Quai des
Péniches, disappeared. On a basis of these ‘memories’ the individual
trajectories for Leave will be noted and collectively performed.
