The BCN Studio is a cozy underground playground - a basement black box theatre and social, gathering space hidden away from the world. We offer you our stage and seating on risers, tech and DJ booth, projector and screen, social area, dressing room, kitchen and back office to help realize your dream event. We love sharing our toys for events that promote togetherness, wellness, creativity, community, learning, joy.
We have the toys. You have the idea. Let’s play.
Events we're good at
Gatherings
Whether you’re throwing a birthday party or corporate event, our motto is, ‘Let us be your aunties and uncles.’ Our space is intimate and we love making our guests feel like they are in a kitschy, comfy gathering at home.
Workshops, classes, meetings
Come down into our creative underground space, hide from the world for a bit, and immerse yourself and your students or colleagues in the material.
Filming & photography
Need to film a show reel or trailer and a black box would be useful? Filming a piece that takes place in a theatre or cultural, social space? Hello. Hi. We are here.
Rehearsals, open rehearsals, open stage
We are a theatre with seating on risers and great technology. Come, come.
What makes us so great at events?
Flexibility
Our space is insanely flexible, our team insanely creative and kind. Curtains can open and close spaces and transform them. You can pop out and make a grand entrance here, there, anywhere. We can create a long dining or meeting table, a podium for powerful speeches, a dance floor, a karaoke fever dream. Let’s play, darling. Let’s have an impact and bring people together.
Stage, Dance Floor, Gathering Area
We have a lovely stage area with wooden floor that easily converts into a dance floor. There are risers that fit 40-50 seats. These can be changed to cabaret style seating with little tables and candles. The seats can be removed completely and guests lounge on cushions on the risers. We can set up large tables on stage for meetings or meals.
Tech
We have great tech - speakers, disco lighting and balls, stage lighting, mics, mic stands, projector and screen for showing embarrassing or touching videos or doing karaoke.
Props & furniture
We are a theatre. We can't help but accumulate a menagerie of odd objects. Tell us your dream. We probably have the props and costumes for it in our back room.
Dressing room & kitchen
We have a dressing/kitchen room with makeup tables and mirrors, shower, handbasin, clothing iron, fridge, stove, microwave, kitchen sink, coffee machine and kettle - useful for any behind-the-scenes prep.
​
Air con
Our air con unit is giant but tucked away and non-invasive. It even has a quiet mode. We call it the Millennium Falcon because it is so large (and powerful).
Social area
Our social area has a bar, kitschy decor, and tables and chairs that can be configured in many layouts.
Piano!
We have an electric baby grand.
Red carpeted stairs
To enter our space, you must go down the tatty west-end red carpet. Drama. History.
Back office
We have a mad back office with a big ol’ programming calendar on the wall… if that is at all useful to you.
