6de Kolonne

De 6e Kolonne (later also written as Zesde Kolonne) has been active since 1984. The foundation has been established for the support, production, realisation and/or bringing to the attention of the public of audio-visual products of a non-profit nature. Starting out as a label and distribution for cassettes, vinyl, printed material and Super 8 films, over the years an organisation developed which accompanies and realises the products from the beginning to the end. The original group consisted of bands such as Vovo Kai, MTVS, Afflict, painters like E de Smet, Frank Teeuwes, visual work by Luk Sponselee, Yvette Bolger and audio registration by Kees de Groot and Pidah Kloos. On a small scale, tapes with mainly home-made music and sounds were produced.- In a live situation, the different disciplines joined together and were presented by means of performances. In this 'new' kind of theatre the audience was made participant. From 1985 till 2002 the 6e Kolonne has been located in Aktiviteitencentrum (Activity Centre) 2B, Eindhoven. Between 2002 and 2007 the organisation was active in the Bergruimte, in the centre of Eindhoven, with a program and stage Re>Bound. And from 2007 and on the 6de Kolonne is located at Artspace Flipside (from 2007 till 2016) and T56 (from 2017 till now), in the northern part of Eindhoven For a full catalogue go to www.kolonne.nl >> catalogue.
