Danish Arts Foundation: PerformingArts
All Information
This programme supports international activities that strengthen the reach and development of performing arts in Denmark and Danish-produced performing arts abroad. It is aimed at smaller theatres, performing-arts groups, independent performers, and operators organising or participating in eligible international projects. Supported activities may include international guest performances, touring of existing productions, site-specific performances, residencies, research, networking, and the development of longer-term collaborations or co-productions. The programme is particularly relevant to performing-arts practitioners who want to present work in another country or build sustainable international relationships. The grant is intended for internationalisation and exchange rather than serving as a general production grant for a new performance. Applicants should demonstrate artistic quality, a clear project plan, and how the activity will create value beyond a single event.
