Theatre - Studio “Studentina” is an NGO that unites an artistic community and successfully works with young people in the
field of stage arts since its founding in 1958. The studio maintains a center for stage arts at the National Student House in the
city of Sofia and an environmentally-friendly art space in a small village an hour away from Sofia.
“Studentina” maintains both urban and non- urban art centers. The studios and rehearsal spaces in the city of Sofia are
situated in its very center, at the National Student House. That is where all the classes are held, as well as some
performances, since there are two old theatre halls in the building, which are now being brought back to life. The other place is
located in the village of Balin, 40 kilometers away from Sofia. It has been called "Bulgarayya"- Center for Art and Ecology and
its aim is to create conditions for creativity in the genuine home of Nature. Houses, built with natural materials with the help of
volunteers from previous projects where, surrounded by peace and quiet, one could develop their potential, find inspiration for
their art and way of living and learn about the environment and its protection. The region is barely populated and is a great
place for environmentally-orientated people to manifest their ideas for an ecological way of living and sustainable
development.
Since the beginning of 2020 the organization has started developing a music studio, again situated at the building of National
Student House, where young people interested in music will have an opportunity to gather for rehearsals, jam sessions or
make recordings, meet professional musicians and exchange ideas and experience with them.
Along with the organization has been created the contemporary dance company “Bright Bites”. It is orientated mostly towards
different tendencies in contemporary dance, contemporary circus, dance theatre and contact improvisation, “release”
techniques, “Body Mind Centering” and other methods of contemporary dance.
The people who take care of the studios are mainly young volunteers - professional dancers, artists, musicians, etc, as well as
non-professionals - students from different Universities around the country and art lovers.
The main idea of our project is: to develop an art center in nature and get creative, while preserving it ; to connect the two art
spaces - the urban and non-urban one.
“Studentina” reaches out for people who: are interested in art and working with artists; are interested in ecology, sustainable
development and nature preservation; are happy to get their hands dirty and work with natural building materials, participate in
cleaning activities and work with nature in a non-harmful way; would love to work in a team and bring positive changes to
society.
"Studentina" hosts artists, mostly in the field of dance, music, theatre, contemporary circus and different physical research
projects. The studio in the center of Sofia is our training and rehearsal home, it is also our art stage and space to work on
different projects. It is a place where our spirit passes by when we are in the city.
