Winter De Cock (Belgium)

Born in 2002, Winter became fascinated by storytelling after high school, where she learned all about stories like Ovid’s metamorphoses. These stories trigger her for several reasons: on the one hand, there is the imagination, the beauty and the poetry; on the other hand, there is the patriarchal hierarchy they reflect. After writing media and performance studies at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp, she discovers the power of telling a story herself. She reinvents and reshapes the ancient stories, combining and associating them with new and other stories with female main characters today through a labyrinth, a puzzle, and a journey. She starts with subjects that affect her personally and searches for the ideal medium for this specific story. What does the story need? Whether she’s performing, acting, podcasting or telling a story, she always invites you to listen well. If you do so, you will hear the soul of the story, the heartbeat of humanity.

Simen TNK Segerberg (Norway)

«My goal has always been to connect to people». Through diverse artistic expression and pedagogical methods from theatre, drama and dance, Simen is exploring the ways of human interactions and communication. Always searching to dig into the core of difficult questions, social issues and cultural wounds, believing that both personal and communal growth lies on the other side of openness, sharing and dialogue. “As both an actor, educator and facilitator, I have witnessed so many moments of transformation erupting from physical presence and deep interhuman connection. This is what I seek, above all. To be present with others and to let our collective presence move us and change us.”
