Studio 18

The team will be taking a little summer break from 7th–23rd August to recharge, reset, and come back full of fresh ideas.

If you've sent us a message, we'll get back to you as soon as we're back. See you soon 💙

Four of ours in one cast & crew 👀

magri , , and .geeklings have all come through Creative Lab at some point, and they're part of the madness that is 'Il-Kunsill tat-Triq' - gig theatre that puts hip hop and theatre in the same room and lets them go at it 🤘

It’s easily one of the coolest concepts we’ve had the pleasure of watching come to life. They opened on Sunday, and everything we’ve heard since has been brilliant.

One show left on the 9th, and there's only a couple of tickets left. You so shouldn't sit on this one 💙

June and July have been full. Ours internally, and going by how much alumni news we've been sharing, seemingly yours might have been too 🧘

It's easy to look up in the middle of all that and realise the summer has been happening without you. The sea is right there, and it won't be this warm for long.

Wellness has always been something we take seriously around here, and that isn't changing. Take the afternoon. Go swim. It'll all still be there on Monday. Take care of yourselves 💙

Yesterday, we had the privilege of joining the birthday celebrations of our wonderful Wellness Advisor, Rebecca Scicluna, surrounded by so many familiar faces 💛

Some of the very first Studio 18 members and core team all back in one room, thirteen years on from when it began. Looking around was a lovely reminder of the friendships, memories, and community that have grown over the years. Same faces (a few more grey hairs 😅) still showing up for each other.

Here’s to Rebecca, and to many more years together 🧡✨ Happy lucky birthday Rebecca - thank you for being you, and for all you do!

Aaaaand we're back again with yet another research post! We promise, these posts totally have a purpose and you're aiding a bigger cause 🤪

This time... FILMS! Let us know below 👇 What's the film you keep going back to over and over again? and why?!

At this point we're convinced has a permanent reservation in our Spotlight series. We've featured him more than anyone else... mainly because he refuses to take a break 😅

This time, he's stepping into one of theatre's most iconic roles as Hamlet in MADC's production of Shakespeare's Hamlet, directed by Michael Mangion. If there's one performance you don't want to miss this season, this is it ❤️

🗓️ 20–27 July 2026

Break a leg Alex! (Just maybe take a holiday after this one :p)

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 👀
