Cosa finanzia questo bando?

Scope

Perform Europe, co-funded by the European Union, supports partnerships of performing arts professionals and organisations that rethink how work tours across borders. This third and final edition under the 2021-2028 Creative Europe programme aims to make cross-border touring fairer, greener and more inclusive. Disciplines include theatre, dance, performance, circus, outdoor arts, puppetry and interdisciplinary work.

Priorities

Each proposal should focus on one main priority, inclusion and diversity or the fight against climate change, while also taking measures on the other. Proposals should aim for quality and innovation, rest on fair practices, and are encouraged to promote collaboration across regions of the 41 Creative Europe countries.

Funding

• Grant categories: small €15,000, medium €25,000, large €55,000.
• Top-ups for sustainability and accessibility needs up to €5,000 per proposal; the maximum grant including top-ups is €60,000.
• 5% of the total funding is allocated to proposals involving Ukrainian partners or supporting the Ukrainian performing arts sector.
• Production costs for new creations are not covered: proposals are supposed to include a finished artistic work or a concept ready to be presented.

Timeline

Selected partnerships are announced in January 2027, start touring on 1 March 2027 and finish touring on 31 January 2028. Help desk sessions and a matchmaking platform support partner search.
