About us

The BCN Studio is a cultural association and an underground playground for performers, producers, and culture lovers. We believe that life is better when shared and that creativity deserves reward.

​

Whether you're making something hilarious, moving, educational or wildly inventive, planning an event or game that brings people together, or just love culture and want to spend time with other creative souls in a place where everyone knows your name, this is your playground; we are your playmates.

​

Stream less. Live more.

Mission

Rooted in the richness of Barcelona’s multilingual, international reality, we're more than just a venue. We aim to grow thinking, feeling, laughter, and togetherness by curating a real-life channel of live culture, supporting creators to bring their visions to the stage and fostering a community where the story continues offstage.

​

In formal terms we aim to:

  • Promote human connection, development and wellness through performance and interactive art

  • Create opportunities for culture lovers to find and be inspired and impacted by live performance and interaction

  • Promote performance artists' ability to produce live performance

  • Promote performance artists' ability to gain a living from their art

 

In informal terms, that means we want: 

  • People who create live stuff to be able to do it affordably and with the best equipment, collaborators and space.

  • People living in Barcelona to have a local, live alternative to being home alone on the sofa watching stuff online.​​

Values

  • Professionalism with Playfulness – We take our work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously.

  • Collective Spirit – We recognize community member's contributions. We value shared success. None of us can do this alone.

  • Integrity – We act with honesty, transparency, and trustworthiness.

  • Respect – We treat ourselves and one another with kindness and uphold boundaries.

  • Inclusivity – We strive to be accessible, inclusive, and welcoming. We, like Barcelona, are multicultural, multilingual, multi-lots-of-things.​

  • Environmental Responsibility - We’re working to evolve sustainably, using materials, food, and energy in ways that reflect the care we have for each other and the world we share.

  • Tummy - We make sure our staff, volunteers and collaborators eat. We have a kitchen and know how to use it to bring people together.
