About EELT
EELT is a theatre collective consisting of music, theatre, film, art and education professionals. EELT is your provider of creative energy. EELT creates poetic productions about the things in life that ‘create calluses (eelt) on one’s soul’, or that make the callus disappear. EELT productions deal with the moments in life where different ideas or feelings rub up against each other and meet. This creates new understanding and beauty.
Our vision
EELT is idealistic. EELT sees change within our world like increase in diversity, technological development, global shifts in balance, as a chance. EELT sees beauty where others see emptiness or ugliness. EELT believes in an inclusive society in which everyone deserves to get a moment in the spotlights.
Our mission
It is EELT’s mission to create and develop fresh ideas, understanding and insights, by working with as diverse a group of people as possible, using accessible but professional creative processes. EELT strives to create a better and more positive world through the creation of different projects, big and small. EELT is your provider of creative energy.
Nomadic
EELT makes theatre on heritage locations, in the neighbourhood, in companies and schools, at festivals and symposia both in The Netherlands and abroad. EELT consciously chooses not to have a ‘home base’. We are a nomadic company, and therefore always the visitor.
Organisation
EELT works with a permanent core team and has gathered around it a circle of enthusiastic, creative people. They collaborate on projects when required.
EELT is part of the Industriestrand Foundation. The Supervisory Board supervises and advises the board (Monique Zijp), using the Cultural Governance Code as a guideline.
EELT receives (project) grants from the Province of Noord-Brabant, the municipality of Tilburg, the Prince Bernhard Culture Fund, the Friends Lottery Fund and the Jacques de Leeuw Fund, among others. EELT has a multi-year collaboration with Studio Assisië and Stichting Prisma at Landpark Assisië in Biezenmortel.
