We are excited to announce the results of the 2024 Perform Europe Open Call. 42 \nperforming arts partnerships will receive EUR 2.1 million to reimagine how to tour \nperforming arts works across the Creative Europe countries.<\/p>\n\n
Perform Europe received 435 proposals from all eligible countries, in response to the Open Call. \nProjects were selected by 17 expert evaluators for their innovative touring ideas, while balance \nwas ensured in terms of geography, performing arts disciplines, and the call\u2019s priorities.<\/p>\n\n
Each partnership project will receive up to EUR\u202f60\u202f000 in funding to bring their touring projects \nto life. Notably, 13\u202f% of the total fund will be allocated to projects supporting the Ukrainian \nperforming arts sector.<\/p>\n\n
From July 2024 to November 2025, these 42 partnerships involving no less than 196 partners, \nwill tour 63 performing arts works across all 40 Creative Europe countries. It is remarkable \nto note that performing arts professionals and organisations, from ALL of the Creative Europe \ncountries are represented in the selection. They will test innovative ideas and models for \ntouring, all with one common goal: to redefine how the performing arts can reach audiences in a \ngreener, more inclusive, and more diverse way. \nThe winning proposals bring forward environmental, feminist, decolonial, migrant, queer, \nand artist-led perspectives. They push boundaries with innovative and impactful approaches \nto address Perform Europe’s priorities. \nThey show a strong commitment to green touring, with for example, ultra-low impact and \nslow travels, involving local artists and audiences to minimise carbon footprint. Projects \npropose immersive experiences that reconnect people with nature, and raise awareness \nabout concerns like deforestation, water conservation, and the extractive industries. \nFeminist projects address parenthood, gender, care, and menopause. Underrepresented \ncommunities in the performing arts will take centre stage, including young Roma actors, \nUkrainian young people, people in rural communities, sex workers, and intergenerational casts. \nSeveral projects are driven by displaced artists from war-torn regions, raising awareness \nabout conflicts, and some explore the healing power of playback theatre. \nAcross the board, the proposals prioritise accessibility, ensuring inclusive and engaging \nexperiences for all. They feature relaxed performances, engage young audiences with diverse \n \naccess needs, and are led by artists with disabilities. They showcase works such as an \nimmersive sensory circus show, and a performance-concert for both deaf and hearing \naudiences. Many proposals will tour community-centric and participatory works, engaging \naudiences through workshops, co-creation, and debates. They foster long-lasting connections in \n\u2013 and between \u2013 the places they travel to. \nAll of the proposals are exemplary in their demonstration of the power of the performing \narts to drive social change, promote diversity and inclusivity, ensure access, and address \npressing global issues. They stand as a testament to the transformative potential of artistic \ncollaboration in the Creative Europe community. \nJoin us as we follow their journeys across Europe and beyond: From Tunisia to Iceland, Ukraine \nto the Netherlands.
