Španski borci Culture Centre

Španski borci Culture Centre re-opened in November 2009 in the Ljubljana-Moste neighbourhood of the city. Run by En-Knap Productions, the centre represents the largest facility intended for cultural activities in Slovenia managed by a non-governmental organisation. Providing a much-needed performing space in Ljubljana as well as two rehearsal spaces, the centre’s programme focuses on contemporary dance and performance but also includes music, visual arts, literature and a children's programme. The centre has a reading room, mediatheque, coffee shop and gallery.

Programme

As the permanent residence of the EnKnapGroup (EKG) and one of the venues of the Gibanica (Moving Cake) Festival of Slovene Dance, the Španski borci Culture Centre has been slated since June 2011 to become the seat of the new Centre of Contemporary Dance, according to the agreement signed by the Ministry of Culture and the Municipality of Ljubljana.

Although the centre functions as a permanent rehearsal and performing space for the contemporary dance group EnKnapGroup (EKG) and its international partners, it is also open to other Slovenian contemporary dance organisations and individuals. Španski borci often hosts workshops in physical theatre and in music.

Španski borci Culture Centre organises around 300 cultural events per year. En-Knap Productions realises its programme with 22 partners. The centre offers its infrastructure also to amateur culture groups as well as organises evenings of tango and swing.
