Transcultural Impulses
Application deadline: March 1
The NRW Landesbüro Freie Darstellende Künste e.V. (NRW State Office for the Independent Performing Arts). (LFDK) has decided to offer funding from the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia to promote projects critical of discrimination, racism and diversity in the professional performing arts in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The Transcultural Impulses programme is aimed in particular at artists who are starting to establish a base in NRW.
Our aim is to make the diversity of biographies, identities and artistic perspectives visible on stage. As the population in NRW is diverse, we would also like to see this in the dance and theatre productions from the independent scene. The "Transcultural Impulses" funding programme aims to encourage this.
