Les Arts Scéniques
Founded in 2012 by husband and wife team Cary & Martina Rick Les Arts Scéniques, a non-profit organization, has pursued the following goals:
- Create a professional ensemble and perform own productions.
- Train and promote new talents.
- Offer acting courses for interested amateurs of all ages.
Up until now Les Arts Scéniques has realized and performed two productions on tour and is currently preparing three new ones. Numerous courses have been held and the professional training program is going to begin its third year in 2018. A new important addition is our children’s company Les Arts Scéniques Junior.
Having started out in rented rehearsal rooms at various places Les Arts Scéniques moved to a first small space of it’s own at Pfirtergasse 1 in 2013. Craving more room and a better location we were able to move to our current location at Hochstrasse 80 not far from the central train station in Basel where we both teach and rehearse.
