Our Philosophy

Ehrenfeldstudios e.V. are intergenerational, interdisciplinary and inclusive.

The ehrenfeldstudios are a meeting place for a young an multi cultural audience.

People of all ages are invited to come and visit to exchange experiences and ideas. The ehrenfeldstudios stage pieces by the resident companies as well as guest artists for children, young people, elderly people, neighbours and all friends of the theater.

„We understand art as a space for action, that can be experienced through encounter and that can actively support the development of dance.“
The ehrenfeldstudios are connected to their hometown of cologne as well as international partners, just like it says in the motto „think global – act local“.
