The physical dimension of the space allied to its residential facilities (5 studios, 14 accommodation rooms, sound and light studios, conference rooms, etc.) provide a set of spaces for research, creation and presentation of artistic projects in various art fields: dance, theatre, music, new media, visual arts, etc. Through an artist-in-residence program these spaces are available to each visiting artist for a period of several weeks where they can concentrate on their own research or production work.
These residential facilities give access to a theatre venue (Teatro Curvo Semedo, 20m x 30m, 800 seats) and to a fully equipped smaller Black Box (10m x 10 m / 50 seats). These two venues are complementing the offer of the residential facilities that O Espaço do Tempo is putting at the disposal of resident artists in the convent. These are spaces where artists can also experiment and create using all the technical facilities (sound, lighting, stage, audiovisual material, etc), but also spaces where they can present their works.
