As being one of five projects of the Kriterion family, Studio/K is the biggest and the most remarkable one among them. The cultural centre opened its doors five years ago at Timorplein in the up and coming Suriname area. Fifty students work here fifteen hours a week, being responsible for every part of the management temselves, making it more then just a student job. The popularity of the place is unfortunately a bit limited to students and yuppies, but the easy atmosphere, also known at its fellow Kriterion projects ‘Skek and Bioscoop Kriterion, definitely makes up for it.

The activities of Studio/K are threefold: first of all Studio/K is a theatre. In two of the rooms they show, besides the famous blockbusters, a lot of arthouse, Dutch and classic movies. One of these rooms and another room are used for theatre performances, workshops and meetings. Besides, you can rent the different rooms for private use, group courses or other activities. Furthermore, Studio/K has a bar-restaurant where they serve breakfast/lunch from 11:00 to 16:00 and dinner from 18:00 to 22:00 (student discount on ‘weekly dishes’ on Monday till Wednesday). Lastly, Studio/K serves as a club, organizing (theme) parties with music varying from jazz to oldschool techno.

Studio/K is a great place to spend your afternoon and/or evening, as it has a bunch to offer under one roof. One warning though: once you’re in, be sure to keep track of time and money. For me, both are gone before I realize.
