PITCH SESSIONS - Vanna, Cercle des créateurs digitaux, United XR & OKUS Lab

How can we break isolation and bring purpose back to our practices? We’re opening up the behind-the-scenes of building Vanna, a multidisciplinary creative hub designed to reconnect the creative sector. Faced with industry anxiety about the future, creating authentic spaces to gather is essential for having unfiltered conversations, sharing vulnerabilities, and reintroducing play into how we collaborate. Join us for an immersive session where we will also present our latest creative sandbox, an emotional barometer designed to map and discuss mental well-being in the creative industry, as well as a preview of our upcoming trainings, workshops, and performances.

OKUS LAB is a Belgian creative studio founded by choreographer and transmedia visual artist Emmanuel Di Martino, exploring the intersection of dance, light, visual arts and immersive technologies. Through projects such as OKUS PENDULUM, OKUS PAPYRUS and FOKUS Immersive, the studio develops hybrid experiences that connect the human body, light, moving images and space. Blending live performance, digital scenography, video mapping and extended reality (VR/AR), OKUS LAB creates new ways of experiencing movement, perception and visual storytelling. Its work is designed to engage with performing arts, museums, heritage spaces and innovative cultural environments, opening up new possibilities for artistic expression and collaboration across disciplines.
