Something Great began in 2017 as an independent artists' management office specializing in international distribution of performing arts. Today, it has evolved into a contemporary performing arts center and organization based in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. Our multifaceted activities range from the international representation of artists to the management of a performing arts collection, as well as the programming of artist residencies and events at our house.
Artists: At Something Great, boundary-pushing artists from around the world are at the heart of everything we do—those who dissolve the borders of contemporary performance, dance, theater, and beyond. Since our inception we have been collaborating with some of the most exceptional artists of our time, helping them to develop new artistic creations and facilitating international guest performances and tours of their works.
House: Our house is a new contemporary performing arts center at Schloss Mentin, a historic building and estate in Mentin, a village in Ruhner Berge, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, northeastern Germany. It is located just an hour and a half from Berlin and Hamburg. At our house, we support and present various artists and art professionals beyond those we represent through our residency program and public events, including open house days, festivals, and other happenings.
Collection: Our collection is focused on contemporary dance and performance and comprises commissions, acquisitions, and donations of works by international artists we have met over the years. Through exhibitions and artistic exchange programs, we strive to ensure that the works of our collection and the artistic research behind them continue to evolve and resonate with our time, while remaining visible and accessible to wide-ranging audiences of today and tomorrow.
Something Great was founded by Rui Silveira and is the result of the dedicated work of its team, and made possible thanks to the support of its partners.
