A venue for a young audience and a hub for young talent.

Podium

De Studio is a creative hub based at the Mechelseplein in the heart of Antwerp. At De Studio, children and young adults are spectators as well as artists/creators.

In 2011, the Province of Antwerp bought the building that used to house the famous drama and acting school Studio Herman Teirlinck. The arts organization Villanella acquired the long lease of the building. It was renamed De Studio and in addition to that new name, Villanella also gave it a new focus: theatre, cinema, music, literature, dance, parties, debates,… De Studio is a unique venue where every lover of performing arts feels at home.

Today, De Studio provides space and support to, among others, Theater FroeFroe, Laika, De Spiegel, fABULEUS, ZEBARBAR, Compagnie Barbarie and Theater Artemis. Artists turn their dreams into reality at De Studio, in order to blow the audience’s mind. 24/7.

One can never know what tomorrow brings, but as long as it innovates and surprises, what tomorrow brings deserves its place at De Studio.

We hope to see you soon at a theatre matinée by day or at a funky party in the middle of the night!

ImpulZ is een interactieve dansvoorstelling met het publiek aan de knoppen en een danser en een geluidsdokter op scène. Wie geeft het startsignaal en wie reageert op wat of wie? Wie geeft de eerste impuls? En wat gebeurt er als niemand duwt?

theatre

In a world of beeps, loops, and automated processes, the body increasingly risks resembling a machine. Beep Street is a cartoonish theatrical experience in which performers dance and play to the rhythm of scanners, fitness devices, and digital voice commands.

music

Fade Into You is a nocturnal festival in which you will be tempted to shamelessly merge into the other, to get lost, to disappear, to seek out the light in each other's eyes and to dance to the rhythm of your shadow. Entwined with your deepest depths, you will wander through De Studio, which will burst at the seams during the endless stream of live music, (dance)performances, visual arts and DJ sets, until, veiled in darkness, you see the first rays of sunshine creep in and awaken from this sultry winter dream.

Lost&Found Futures

More Dogs

Do we dare to think about the future? Do we dare to imagine with hope what is yet to come? Or do we remain stuck in the past, in visions of the future that were once promised but never arrived?

There’s only two types of people in the world: the ones that entertain, and the ones that observe. And well, baby, we’re put-on-a-show kind of clowns.

Voor de 11e editie brengt Send in the Clowns het circus naar De Studio – voor echt nu. Bereid je voor op een camp avondje uit met je favoriete drag clowns in een show die circus viert, wilde beesten temt (of net niet) en De Studio in een Pink Elephant Club verandert.

En na de show? Don’t stand there watching us, follow us, show us what you can do. Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor just like a circus.
