The actor's scene in Barcelona
Barcelona is Spain's second major audiovisual hub and a unique case: productions are made in Spanish and in Catalan, which multiplies the opportunities for bilingual actors. The city is also a magnet for international shoots thanks to the Barcelona–Catalunya Film Commission, and benefits from the drive of the regional broadcaster TV3 and numerous fiction and advertising production companies.
Acting schools in Barcelona
Training in Barcelona is top tier. The Institut del Teatre stands out as the major public centre, alongside highly regarded private schools such as Eolia, Nancy Tuñón–Jordi Oliver, La Casona, the Col·legi del Teatre or Laura Jou's studio, which specialises in on-camera work. A good share of Catalonia's emerging talent comes out of these classrooms.
Theatres and venues in Barcelona
The city's theatre life revolves around the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya, the Teatre Lliure, the Sala Beckett —a breeding ground for new playwriting—, the Teatre Romea, La Villarroel or the Teatre Condal, plus a powerful network of alternative venues where young actors cut their teeth.
