Studio 18

Last week we celebrated 5 years since WIRES (2021) 📱

WIRES brought our Acting Programme and our Creative Lab together on one production! Actors on stage, and a whole team behind them running sound, stage management, design, and accessibility from the ground up.

That year, getting a full house into a theatre wasn't really on the table, so we filmed the whole show and brought it to an audience online instead 💻

Five years on, we still can't quite get over where that cast and crew have ended up. Watching the people who built WIRES grow into who they are now is one of the things we're proudest of ❤️

Looking back on our CoRES workshops last January 🌱

What a privilege it was to gather artists, sustainability thinkers, and young voices for the KAKTUS CoRES workshops in a series of conversations shaped by curiosity, generosity, and care.

Grateful to our partners and delegates from aKTI (Cyprus) and RunOnArt (Greece) for the knowledge and solidarity shared across borders. These discussions reminded us that collaboration is at the heart of building more just and sustainable cultural futures, and we’re super excited for the next steps of CORES coming in 2027!

Safe to say…watch this space 👀

Boċċi is back for another year! 🔥

Featuring as Jonathan, current member of our 1-to-1 mentorship programme and former member of Creative Lab, and .geeklings as ASM for the production. As for Lara, it would probably be easier to tell you what programmes she wasn't a part of during her years at the Studio 😅

Their run starts on Thursday 18th, get your tickets and go support 'em!

Hello hello! keeps sending us research questions so it's your duty to help us out here AGAIN! 😅

What musicals can't you stop listening to right now? Let us know and help in our never ending search of *checks notes* "really important research?" 🧐 Let us know in the comments or on our stories!

Us again! Here to celebrate more people!! 🤪

🎭 is directing 'Djalogu bejn Qaħba u l-Klijent Tagħha' in this weekend's Għaxra performances, after developing her craft through both our Muso Programme and Creative Lab.

🎭 joins the same production as a performer, while continuing his journey as part of our Acting 1-to-1 Mentorship Programme.

🎭 .99 , a graduate of our Acting Programme, is currently appearing in Skeċċ, a project commissioned by Spazju Kreattiv.

Break a leg to all three! 👏

It’s been a busy year so far at the Studio 😅 and we’re showing no signs of slowing down!

We’ve got some exciting things lined up over the next few months, and we can’t wait to share them with you. First up: next week we’re welcoming 12 young actors for our 3-Day Actors’ Intensive alongside and , and we’re counting down the days until we get started.

Keep your eyes on this space… there’s plenty more to come 👀

A bit meta to do a Spotlight on our own team, but who cares 🤪 2 very special people to highlight for tonight's FreeHour Youth Awards!

, Creative Director of the Studio (you probably knew that one), is one of three judges picking this year's winners. His third year on the panel.

, part of the Studio team & currently in 1-to-1 acting mentoring too, is back presenting the FreeHour Youth Awards alongside Naomi Scicluna. Third year in a row too!

FreeHour are also our partners on the intergenerational learning side, so being on stage and on the panel for their biggest night just makes sense 👏
