Deadline: 15 May 2025
The Goethe-Institut is seeking grant applications to support co-productions worldwide that grow out of collaborative and dialogue-based working processes in the fields of music, dance, theatre and performance art.
They use this fund to promote innovative productions and international cultural exchange as well as new approaches to intercultural collaboration and networking.
The IKF provides funding for international co-productions that are likely to be of high artistic caliber and to have some impact on the respective arts scene. Hybrid and interdisciplinary formats and the use of digital media may be important elements of these co-productions. Collective artistic development of the project is a prerequisite, which is the reason why they don’t provide funding for projects that involve nothing but guest performances, tours or appearances at festivals.
Funding Information
- The requested grant should be between no more than €25,000 and no less than €10,000.
Funding Criteria
- The projects for which funding is requested must center on the performing arts (no exclusively film or exhibition based projects)
- Caliber of the project
- Standing of the participating artists in their performing arts scene
- Budget showing own/third-party funding and a sound financial plan
- Balanced project partnership, artistic collaboration
- At least one performance outside of Germany and, if possible, in Germany, too
- Project period should not exceed 24 months.
Eligibility Criteria
- Professional performing artists, ensembles and initiatives in Germany and non-German-speaking countries in the fields of theatre, dance, music and performance art with insufficient means of their own to realize an international coproduction.
- In particular, they welcome applications for funding from developing and transition countries.
