LAKE Studios Berlin is a dance residency, research, and performance center supporting a mix of local and international artists in their creative processes. We offer long and short-term residencies where artists of various styles and diverse standpoints create and exchange in a calm and concentrated atmosphere. We are committed to fostering a sense of community and engage artists in dialogue, reflection, and choreographic research via festivals, forums, classes, workshops and performances.    

LAKE Studios has existed as an artist-run, community-based dance space since May of 2013. It was built by dancers, for dancers and is dedicated to expanding the possibilities for artists in the fields of dance and performance. It is space that offers unexpected encounters and cross-pollinations.  

The facilities include two wood-sprung-floor indoor studios, one wood-sprung-floor outdoor studio, a media/mini studio, a library, and a nano stage. In addition, there are private rooms, a shared kitchen, and a large garden with outdoor gathering and working spaces. With a robust media lab and technical equipment, LAKE Studios’ artists can take a deep dive into art and technology. With our large garden and proximity to Müggelsee lake we are equally suited for those who simply want to unplug in their process.
