ATEB — Aula de Teatre Eduard Bartolí
Theatre education and training in Figueres, forming part of the Figueres a Escena community.
About the School
The Aula de Teatre Eduard Bartolí (ATEB) is the theatre school linked to Figueres a Escena. It provides a dedicated space for dramatic arts training within the city's vibrant performing arts landscape, complementing the programming at Teatre El Jardí and Sala La Cate.
ATEB is named after Eduard Bartolí, reflecting a commitment to nurturing theatrical talent and fostering a deeper appreciation for the stage among students and the wider community.
At the Aula de Teatre Eduard Bartolí, students of all ages discover the transformative power of dramatic arts in a supportive, creative environment. The school's curriculum blends classical technique with contemporary practice, giving learners a well-rounded foundation in voice, movement, improvisation, and character work. Beyond technical skill, ATEB emphasises the collaborative nature of theatre — teaching students to listen, react, and build trust with their fellow performers. This holistic approach ensures that graduates leave not only with refined stagecraft but also with confidence, empathy, and a lasting appreciation for the performing arts that serves them both on and off the stage.
ATEB functions as an integral part of the wider Figueres a Escena ecosystem, creating a natural bridge between training and professional performance. Students benefit from the proximity of Teatre El Jardí and Sala La Cate, where they can experience live productions and observe how the skills they are developing translate into real-world theatrical work. This connection between education and the professional stage enriches the learning experience, allowing emerging artists to see themselves as part of a living, breathing cultural community. It is this sense of belonging that sets ATEB apart as more than just a school — it is a launching point for creative lives.
The school's namesake, Eduard Bartolí, represents a legacy of artistic dedication that continues to inspire each new cohort of students. Through carefully paced progression and regular showcases, learners are encouraged to find their own voice while honouring the traditions of the stage. The teaching team brings a wealth of practical experience, guiding students through the challenges of rehearsal, interpretation, and public presentation with patience and insight. Whether a student dreams of a professional career or simply wishes to explore personal expression, ATEB offers a welcoming space where theatrical curiosity is nurtured and artistic ambition is given room to grow.
