Call for donations
Keeping Tictac alive and thriving has always been a beautiful challenge — one we’ve managed so far, also with the help of your continued participation. But as financial pressures grow, we’re inviting those who believe in our mission to support us directly.
In April 2025 we launched a donation system, where you can contribute with a one-time or regular donation to help us keep Tictac open, active, and accessible. Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference.
Why Tictac Needs Your Support
Tictac is an independent, artist-run, non-profit initiative. We receive no structural funding. Every euro that comes in — from workshops, performances, and art sold and made in Tictac — goes straight into covering our basic costs: rent (yes, we rent the space), paying artists and teachers fairly, and keeping the lights on.
We’ve been proud to offer affordable workshops and performances for six years, despite rising inflation and growing expenses. But to continue doing so we need your help.
Taking our workshops remains the main way to support us, but if you can contribute a donation, you’re helping us create stability and open new possibilities for the future.
What is special about Tictac
A Home for Improvisation:
At its heart, Tictac is a space for improvisation — where experts share knowledge, emerging artists grow, and creativity flows freely. We believe in improvisation not only as an art form, but as a way of life: flexible, inclusive, ever-evolving.
A Platform for Performance:
Beyond education, we’re a space where ideas come to life. Students, teachers, and guests are all invited to share their work publicly — building a rich, participatory culture of performance.
International and Inclusive:
Tictac brings together a global community of artists and enthusiasts — not just from dance, but from all disciplines. Whether you’re a painter, musician, actor, writer, or just curious, you’ll find a place to connect, experiment, and grow.
Multidisciplinary Playground:
From visual arts and fashion to sound design, sculpture, and beyond — Tictac is a vibrant intersection of creativity. Our gallery and studios host residencies, performances, and collaborations that cross boundaries and spark innovation.
A Living, Breathing Community Space:
We see Tictac as a living sculpture — one that is shaped daily by those who enter. Through shared processes, collaboration, and collective care, we believe art can be both powerful and sustainable.
