The Venue

A Place to Live, Train & Create Together

TADAH is an artist habitat in the hills above the Mediterranean coast near Manavgat, Antalya — a place where groups can live, train and spend time together under one roof.

Professional training spaces, comfortable accommodation, a large communal kitchen and plenty of outdoor space make it easy to settle into your own rhythm.

Bring your people, your teachers and your programme. TADAH provides the space around it.

Stay Together

Groups stay directly at TADAH, in rooms spread across the property.

Accommodation ranges from shared rooms with shared bathrooms to twin and single rooms with private bathrooms. The rooms are simple, comfortable and individual — no two corners of TADAH are quite the same.

Having accommodation, studios and communal spaces in one place changes the rhythm of a group stay. Finish training and jump into the pool. Make a coffee between sessions. Meet in the kitchen or find somewhere quiet to disappear for an hour.

For larger groups, most or all of TADAH can become your shared home for the duration of your stay.

Your Kitchen, Your Rhythm

At the centre of group life is our large communal kitchen.

Group stays at TADAH are self-catered, giving you the freedom to organise food around your own programme — cook together, create kitchen teams or simply keep things informal.

There is plenty of space to cook for a group, store your food and eat together.

And you don’t have to figure everything out from scratch. We are happy to help you get oriented with local shops, markets and the practicalities of stocking the kitchen.

Space Beyond the Studio

Training might be the reason you come, but a lot of TADAH happens in between.

Cool down in our natural freshwater pool, warm up in the sauna, sit beneath the trees, spend an evening by the fire or find a quiet corner in the garden.

TADAH is surrounded by fruit trees and gardens, with views across the landscape towards the Mediterranean. Depending on the season, some of what grows here may also find its way into your kitchen.

And then there are the other residents: cats, chickens, rabbits and our very large and very friendly Kangal dog. Birds, dragonflies, frogs and turtles regularly join the population.

TADAH is close to nature. Sometimes very close.

A Place with a Story

TADAH has grown since 2013 as a home, training place and meeting point for artists from around the world.

In 2021, the Manavgat wildfire destroyed almost the entire property. What you see today was built back afterwards — with a lot of work, imagination and help from the community around us.

Some things survived. Others had to begin again.

And TADAH kept growing.

Over the years, the place has been shaped by the people who have lived, trained and created here — circus artists, dancers, musicians, teachers, students and groups from many different places.

You can still see traces of that history everywhere: in the gardens, the studios, the handprints on the walls, the improvised corners that became permanent, and the spaces that found new lives after the fire.

TADAH is not a finished idea. It is a place that keeps evolving with the people who use it. And we think that is part of its magic.

Close Enough, Far Enough Away

TADAH feels secluded without being cut off.

The Mediterranean coast, Manavgat and local shops and markets are within easy reach, while Antalya International Airport is approximately one hour away.

That gives groups something we value highly: enough distance from everyday life to focus on what you came here to do — while everything you actually need remains accessible.

Make TADAH Yours for a While

Every group brings something different to the place.

Circus training, dance, artistic residencies, creative projects, teacher trainings, exchanges or simply a period of focused work together — the programme is yours.

We provide the accommodation, studios and infrastructure.
You bring the group and what you want to do with it.
