Something Great is an independent organisation and venue dedicated to international contemporary performing arts. Our mission is to champion exceptional artists of our time and provide diverse audiences with opportunities to engage with and experience their work.  We create opportunities for artists to  research, create, present, and tour their works, as well as to develop and share the legacy of their artistic practices with wide-ranging audiences, both today and in the future. 

Since our foundation in 2017, we have been based in Berlin. In 2022, we expanded our headquarters to Mentin, a village in the Ruhner Berge, a municipality in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district of the northeastern German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. There, we established Something Great - Zentrum für Internationales Zeitgenössische Darstellende Künste, a new center for contemporary performing arts located in Ruhner Berge, just a 1.5-hour drive from both Berlin and Hamburg.

At Something Great, artists from around the world are at the core of everything we do. Hailing from diverse backgrounds, with varied artistic practices and perspectives, we champion both established and emerging artists who bring unique, unconventional approaches to contemporary theater, dance, and performance. Every year, we collaborate with our associated artists, helping them to develop new artistic creations and tour internationally. Additionally we support various other artists and art professionals through the programs of our house. 

Something Great’s current projects and activities are only possible thanks to the support of our partners.
