The contemporary feeling and substantial amount of space afforded by our residence in artsdepot allows for the ideal atmosphere in which to conduct dance and performance training of the highest calibre.
Our facilities consist of:
Classical Ballet students in London Studio Centre's AD20 dance studio
All of our dance studios are bright and spacious, with over 1000m² of specialist sprung dance flooring, which are used for daily classes. The studios are also available to students outside of class time to develop their own choreographic projects such as practice-based dissertations, student platforms or showreel filming.
Dedicated singing and drama spaces are also available for these specialist classes.
artsdepot’s fully-equipped, 395-seater theatre is at the heart of the venue, and is used by London Studio Centre for classes, rehearsals and of performances – LSC holds up to 10 public performances in the theatre each academic year. These range from professional tours by our third year performing companies, to our annual Spring Showcase as well as smaller-scale productions which seamlessly combine current and graduate students, showcasing alumni choreography.
The theatre’s extensive technical capabilities make it a unique venue for students to hone their performing craft through our invaluable and exciting range of performing opportunities. This fabulous dance space offers great versatility, its stage transforming into a flat floor for events such as LSC’s Summer Ball.
artsdepot’s second performance space seats 148 people and is suitable for small-scale productions and other events. The theatre is used regularly by LSC students and staff for informal showings of work, talks and lectures.
artsdepot’s café is subsidised by London Studio Centre, providing reasonably-priced options in hot and cold food and drinks for our students and staff. With its high ceilings and natural light, the café provides a pleasant space for students to relax and refuel between classes.
The library is home to an ever-increasing collection of resources comprised of books, e-books, journals, DVD’s and musical scores to inform and support the academic work undertaken by students.
Our resident Librarian and Deputy Librarian are on hand to assist students in finding the best resources for their independent research. The library also contains an IT suite, with access to video-editing software for project work; resources such as cameras and tripods are also available for use.
