A Groundbreaking Collaboration: ESCAC, ESMUC & Institut del Teatre
BASS is an international hub for artistic experimentation and interdisciplinary collaboration, where emerging talents push the boundaries of art and redefine creative expression.
By bringing together the best young professionals from around the world, BASS serves as a launchpad for artistic innovation, using Barcelona as an epicenter of inspiration and creativity.
BASS is the result of an unprecedented collaboration between three of Barcelona’s most prestigious artistic institutions: ESCAC (Escola Superior de Cinema i Audiovisuals de Catalunya), ESMUC (Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya), and Institut del Teatre de Catalunya. Together, we have created a unique interdisciplinary space where cinema, music, and performing arts merge to push creative boundaries and redefine artistic expression.
