Studio 303 welcomes at all times independent productions, a format that gives artistes the opportunity to self-produce their own show in our space. Even though we are a studio, Studio 303 can be transformed into a performative venue. We have at our disposal black curtains, risers, benches and cushions, plus a sound system, lighting, and a ceiling-mounted video projector — all in a DIY vibe.

Independent productions usually happen on weekends, ideally over 2 consecutive nights.

This format, designed for intimate and experimental presentations, is meant to be affordable for artistes who would like to self-produce. Studio 303 is located on the 3rd floor of the Belgo building, which has an elevator, at the corner of the de Bleury and Saint-Catherine (see the Accessibility section for more information)
