Purpose of the program

The Committee for Performing Arts Project Funding has created a smaller fund with multiple annual deadlines to accommodate the need of subsidies for ad hoc activties within the performing arts. The maximum funding is 30,000 DKK.

This fund only supports ad hoc activities. Only projects that cannot be planned in a timely manner are eligble to apply.

If you need funding for regular international activities, please see the fund 'International Activities'

The Committee for Performing Arts Project Funding seeks to develop and promote Danish performing arts through interaction with the international performing arts scene. We achieve this by supporting:

Activities in Denmark

• International guest performances
• Networking and research (including international guest participation at performances in DK)
• International artist residencies in Denmark

Activities abroad

• Touring activities
• Networking and research (including participation in workshops as a speaker) for the purpose of international collaborations such as co-productions
• Residencies abroad

How your application will be evaluated?

In considering your application, emphasis is placed on:

• Performing arts of the highest artistic quality
• Activities that aim directly at furthering the applicant's development
• Guest performances/touring activities that involve performances and/or related activities (e.g. networking, workshops/masters classes, research etc.)
• Activities based on documented mutual interest regarding resources and sustainable future collaborations
• Activities where knowledge-sharing is envisaged in a Danish performing arts context

Funding is not granted to:

• educational purposes for individuals
• expenses related to new productions

The assessment of artistic quality emphasizes:

• Strong and original artistic intentions - rich in content and clearly expressed artistic vision
• clear deliberations on the interplay between form and content
• the ability to modify content in favour of precisely shaped artistic expression

The Committee for Performing Arts Project Funding reserves the right to balance grant decisions in terms of:

• age diversity (adults, youth and children)
• genre diversity
• geographical diversity
