Performance. Art. Training.
Welcome to Katapult - Berlin's newest space for education, creation and exhibition in contemporary performing art. A community driven project run by a small team, assisted by a large crew of volunteers, agile and flexible with a do it yourself mentality - offering residencies, workshops and open training for artists, creators and self-starters.
We are sad to announce that following the latest information, Katapult will remain closed from March 14th until April 19th.
We will follow the recommended guidelines of the relevant authorities and keep updates coming as often as is necessary. Please bear with us in this time of severe instability, and keep making great art.
If you have to stay at home, then you’ve got lots of time to train, create, and grow.
All the best to you all,
The Katapult team
