Set in a former power plant, the aptly named Stara Elektrarna can be translated as the ''Old Power Station''. One of the most important contemporary performing arts venues in Ljubljana, it is run by a non-governmental organisation, the [[Bunker Institute]]. The place is primarily used for theatre and dance performances, yet also frequently utilised as a rehearsal and residency space. Various workshops (ranging from cultural management to dance techniques), lectures, round tables, concerts and multimedia events also take place here.

==Venue==
The Old Power Station was the first electricity plant in Ljubljana, therefore today its historical brick building is protected as a monument of industrial architecture. It is owned by Elektro Ljubljana, but in 2004 [[Ljubljana Urban Municipality]] and the [[Ministry of Culture]] decided to hire the space and make it available to independent performing arts creators. Following an open call for NGOs to run the space, the contract went to [[Bunker Institute]].

As shown in a recent study on contemporary performing arts venues, Ljubljana lacks performing arts rehearsal spaces. Stara elektrarna was originally planned as a space for rehearsals, but it is now being developed as a venue for dialogue and various artistic practices. The Power Station hosts various educational programmes, including contemporary dance workshops run by [[En-Knap Dance Group]], contemporary art workshops, seminars and panels, and is also used regularly for the pre-production of performances. In September 2004 [[Mladi levi Festival]] initiated the space as a new venue for presenting Slovene and international stage production, and in October 2004 Stara elektrarna was one of the venues of the [[City of Women International Festival of Contemporary Arts]]. In November 2004 the Power Station hosted a new festival of contemporary electronic music.

Set in a former power plant, the aptly named Stara Elektrarna can be translated as the Old Power Station. One of the most important contemporary performing arts venues in Ljubljana, it is run by a non-governmental organisation, the Bunker Institute. The place is primarily used for theatre and dance performances, yet also frequently utilised as a rehearsal and residency space. Various workshops (ranging from cultural management to dance techniques), lectures, round tables, concerts and multimedia events also take place here.

Numerous Slovene festivals have been (or still are) hosted by Stara Elektrarna (in part or in their entirety), among them the Mladi levi Festival, the City of Women International Festival of Contemporary Arts, the Gibanica (Moving Cake) Biennial of Slovenian Contemporary Dance Art, MENT Ljubljana, Animateka International Animated Film Festival, and also the Lutke International Puppet Festival, etc.

Stara Elektrarna is included in the Transferzala project, a combined season ticket for 5 independent Ljubljana performing arts venues: besides Stara Elektrarna, also Dance Theatre Ljubljana, Španski borci Culture Centre, Glej Theatre and Vodnik Homestead.

The venue's foyer features a small museum displaying various pieces of now-defunct equipment from the old power station.
