Agenda
About Explore the North
Explore the North is a festival and production house based at Podium Explore in Leeuwarden.
Podium Explore
In April 2024, we christened the Westerkerk as our own ‘Podium Explore’. This location, set in the heart of Leeuwarden, used to be just one of the most beautiful locations in our November festival, but now it is home to all the experiences we have to offer the whole year round!
Productions and projects
Together with makers of different backgrounds and expertise, we work on a number of projects with a focus on literature, language, and multilingualism. We do this together with local, national, and international partners.
