Profile

Amare, formerly Stichting Dans- en Muziekcentrum and Zuiderstrandtheater
Curator of Amare. Cultural entrepreneur. Responsible and unifying.

Stichting Amare manages the building and organises the programming. It fulfils the role of the spider in the web of all residents of the Amare building, the neighbours on Spuiplein and the wider cultural field. Acting in this role, Amare seeks to cultivate its bond with and roots in the city of The Hague. Amare strives to reach all of the city’s communities by offering a high-quality programme of education, performances, projects and festivals, as well as events in the building’s public areas. Amare brings dance, music, musical theatre and community art of international allure to a wide audience. Amare’s partners are the cultural centre’s permanent residents: Residentie Orkest The Hague, Nederlands Dans Theater and the Royal Conservatoire.

Vision
Art and culture have both autonomous meaning and social impact. In an increasingly diverse city and society, we focus on a multi-colored programme, on inclusivity and encounters. Amare is a house for the whole of The Hague, it represents the Netherlands and the world of today.
