Located in the heart of Berlin, STUDIO2 is an artistic centre for exploring performative, documentary and interdisciplinary ideas as well as for teaching artistic techniques at the interface of dance, theatre and performance. STUDIO2 is often the starting point for new artistic experiments and productions presented on Berlin's stages. By combining artistic research and practice, STUDIO2 offers the opportunity to consider and discuss theatrical approaches in the context of engaging with theatre theory, technology and archival practice. STUDIO2 is part of the German Centre of the International Theatre Institute (ITI). As an interest group for the performing arts, the ITI – German Centre is committed to their free development and the preservation of the diversity of their forms of expression. It provides and organises advisory services, festivals, symposiums, and publications on the performing arts in national and transnational contexts and works in national and international committees. The ITI – German Centre develops its own projects in the fields of theatre and dance, cultural education, cultural heritage, and the culture and creative industries, and is also an information and documentation centre for the performing arts in Germany.
