Stanica - train station and cultural venue in one
TRUC SPHERIQUE
Žilina, Slovakia
Description
Stanica is NOT a youth centre, a school, a theatre company, a gallery. We are NOT social workers, artists, teachers,... Stanica is still functioning train station and at the same time a cultural venue which is operated by us, Truc sphérique, Slovak non-governmental organization with a French name (but nothing to do with France). We live in Žilina, town with 85.000 inhabitants in the North of Slovakia, surrounded by hills and woods. We call ourselves cultural operators or cultural workers who organize events focused on presentation of contemporary art (music, theatre, dance, film, visual art, new media). We also have an educational programme for kids (and partly adults). EVS volunteers help us with everyday operation of the cultural venue - from selling/checking tickets, distributing posters, to office work, manual work, photo/video documentation, technical preparation of the events (lights and sound) to leading educational workshops (animation, drawing, music, etc). And more
