Perform Europe is a funding scheme offering EUR 1.4 million for performing arts collaborations across all 41 Creative Europe countries. Perform Europe supports partnership proposals which reinvent the way we tour across borders.

After two highly successful editions (2020-2022 / 2023-2026), Perform Europe will continue to put emphasis on exploring, with the performing arts sector, how cross-border touring can be made fairer, greener, and more inclusive.

Keywords: performing arts, theatre, dance, performance, circus, outdoor arts, puppetry, interdisciplinary, change-makers, inclusion, diversity, fight against climate change, sustainability, fairness, cross-border mobility, innovation.

Perform Europe will grant EUR 1.4 million to at least 25 partnerships.

Applicants can apply for grants in three categories:

  • EUR 15,000 – small grant
  • EUR 25,000 – medium grant
  • EUR 55,000 – large grant

In addition to the requested grant category, partnerships can request top-ups to address the sustainability and accessibility needs of their proposal. Each partnership may request any combination of the available top-ups, up to a maximum total top-up request of EUR 5,000 per proposal. The maximum granted amount, including top-ups, will be EUR 60,000, a requirement set by the funder, the European Union.
