Stara Elektrarna venue
Since 2004, Bunker has been running the performing arts venue Stara Elektrarna - Old Power Station in Ljubljana. The programme consists of theatre and dance performance production, concerts, educational activities, and presentations of different art projects.
Production
In its productions, Bunker focuses on works that employ innovative approaches, intertwine different art disciplines, and offer reflections on topical cultural, political, and social issues.
Besides producing works by different performing arts makers, Bunker has recently been involved in producing research-based works that respond to global issues such as migrations and ecological awareness, collaborating with international artists.
In the period 1999–2014, Bunker was the producer of the physical theatre group Betontanc. Since 2016, it has been managing its spin-off project Beton Ltd..

Festivals
Since 1998, Bunker has been organising the annual international festival of theatre and dance Mladi levi (Young Lions). Taking place at the end of summer, the festival showcases groups and artists with distinctive and original ideas and disciplines from all over the world.
Together with the Second Grammar School in Maribor, in 2002, Bunker co-organised the first Drugajanje Festival, which aims to affirm contemporary dance and theatre art among youth audiences with a programme of performances, workshops, and lectures.

Educational activities
Bunker has been running the pilot project of cultural education, Theatre Playground, which seeks to bring contemporary theatre to schools all over Slovenia and engage participating pupils and students not only as consumers of art but also as creative producers.
Within their educational activities, Bunker has developed new formats of cultural education, among which are Schools in Culture (for pupils as well as for pedagogical workers), A Resident Artist, Tandem Classes, and Young Curators Club.

International projects
Bunker has a long history of participating in various international cooperation and collaboration projects, which have garnered support from different funding programs of the European Commission. It is (or has been) a member of numerous international networks, including Junge Hunde, Theorem, International Network for Contemporary Performing Arts (IETM), Balkan Express, Danse Bassin Méditerranéen – DBM, RESHAPE, and others.
Bunker led the Create to Connect project, which later grew into Create to Connect -> Create to Impact (CtC -> CtI), a Creative Europe-supported joint effort of 15 European arts and research partners from 13 European countries. The aim was to create powerful and long-lasting connections among artists, cultural operators, researchers, and audiences, and to develop contemporary theatre activities with aesthetic, political, and social impact.
Besides participating in or leading numerous international projects, Bunker also organizes international discursive forums and discussion evenings.
