ABOUT US

After almost 30 successful editions of the Summer Academy, De Veerman and Destelheide are organizing a Winter Academy for the first time.
Why?
Because the artistic hunger is great, very great. Because winter is a period of rest, in which we fold back on ourselves and bring out the light from within. And because from December 26 the days get a little longer again. During the Winter Academy you get five days and four nights to find your way to how to tell your story. Because that is the common thread of this artistic working week: Dialogue. Stories and how they tell in movement, image, word ... all possible artificial languages. And as you are used to from us: it is not the final creation that matters, but the road to it.

De Veerman (The Ferryman) is an artistic place where, out of love for and belief in the arts, people are being challenged and stimulated to explore new shores. Throughout Flanders the team focuses on a variety of artistic disciplines: dance, image, theatre, media, music, literature...
The docks where we moor our boat are inhabited by infants, children, teenagers, adults, new and old Belgians, unconventional target groups, in short: we include all the elements of a richly diversified society.
De Veerman is certified as an arts organisation by decree of the Flemish ministry of culture and has a focus on education and participation within the arts.
De Veerman
