Katapult – COVID-19 – Status Update

We are sad to announce that following the information provided by the German government and the Berlin Senat, we have taken the decision to postpone all workshops that were planned before the beginning of September. The majority of workshops will be re-programmed, and we will be in touch with registered students in the next period to check the new dates or to arrange refunds.

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. If you’re able, come visit for open training, or a residency.

All the best,

The Katapult team
