Perform Europe Open Call and Guidelines, Audio Version

Perform Europe is an EU-funded project which aims to rethink cross-border performing arts presentation in a more inclusive, sustainable and balanced way, in the 40 countries of Creative Europe and the UK. The project is an 18-month journey, which includes a research phase, launching a digital platform, testing a support scheme, and designing policy recommendations. You can read more about Perform Europe on performeurope.eu.

Since December 2020, Perform Europe has explored and mapped the context in which performing art works have been presented across borders in the past few years. The research team identified and analysed the current issues and disparities in the European system of performing arts touring and presentation and indicated some solutions for bringing change.

Based on the learning points of our research phase, we have released the Perform Europe digital platform along with an open call for presenters and producers of performing art works to reimagine the way they tour and present their work across borders. 

Throughout our Perform Europe journey, we will develop policy recommendations to advise the European Institutions and Member States on how to integrate a support scheme for performing arts distribution in the Creative Europe programme 2021-2027. We also aim at offering policy insights for other policy levels and fields, and for the sector at large.
