The aTelier is where ACTO's creative team works on a daily basis. Situated in the Town´s Park, in the centre of the town of Estarreja (map / location on this page), and integrated in an area meant for leisure activities, the aTelier is a structure created for this small town's cultural development, where events like ESTA - Estarreja's International Festival - or aTelier da Juventude and various performances are held.

The aTelier it's a multi-functional fully equipped artistic space, which in its conventional arrangement - the auditorium format - can host an audience of 130 persons. The foyer, bar, dressing rooms and technical regie (see plan on this page) are other facilities.

To make the most out of this structure, and besides the daily training of its members, ACTO establishes a regular cultural program based on the presentation of theatre and dance performances. It also intends to support the development of projects of individual artists and companies, by creating conditions to hold artists-in-residence programs.
