The opening of big movieplex cinemas in Zagreb has led to the dying out of old cinema theatres in the city centre.

In thatscenario old cinema Lika was given the role of a new dance centre.Fifty years of contemporary dance culture in Zagreb has produced about 40 dance troops, with this project all of themwill have a new home in the city centre. The cinema is located in a derelict residential block only 100 meters awayfrom the Zagrebs main square. The entire projects program is determined by the gross developed area defined in themaster plan and it places the project in the old cinema shell. The new dance centre which will house numerousdancers, choreographers, art troops and companies will have three multipurpose studios (one large studio with 150telescopic seats and two smaller training studios), three spacious dressing rooms, bathrooms, storages for props andtechnology and office spaces.The only new architectural element of the centre is the new entrance lobby, a polyvalent space in the service of

communication and meeting with a cafe, library and a video store. It was interpolated on the basis of almost defaultparameters of the existing neighbouring houses. The volume and its broken also form suggest dance movement andthey are a new sign and connection element between the courtyard and the roof terrace. The roof terrace is the finalelement of the centre and an important part of the project of preservation and restoration of Zagreb last open roofstage.
