Bunker
GENERAL INFO and CORE ACTIVITIES
The current program in the Power station is divided into three sections:
Rehearsals, ante-production and residencies for foreign artists.
Educational: various workshops, seminars, round tables, lectures and practice sessions.
Presentation of performances by home based and foreign artists, and as a venue for certain festivals. The Old Power Station is now buzzing with activities: several groups use it as their rehearsal venue; it is also a place for different workshops, which range from cultural management to dance techniques, while in the evening, the power station is frequently a venue for various performances and other multimedia events. The Old Power Station is unique, as it is not an abandoned building: no less than a third of the city’s electricity is still produced there. It is a genuine example of the fusion of electric and artistic energy.
The Old Power Station is also a unique example in Ljubljana of a long and well-established international tradition in transforming attractive industrial structures into cultural centres.
MY SPACE CAN OFFER…
A caring and needs-fulfilling residency.
The programme in the Stara elektrarna consists of theater and dance performance productions, in an educational manner and also strictly performance based. Besides this, we are hosting other festivals, concerts and various interdisciplinary events. Bunker actively collaborates with numerous artists, theaters, festivals and networks within Slovenia and abroad. The soul of our work would be relations between people, care for each other, safe space to work and to make a mistake as an artist.
