Mobility and cross-border collaboration are the lifeblood of dance. Are the funding systems equipped enough to support it? The Performing Arts Coalition wants to hear from professionals across the sector about what is and isn't working, and what needs to change.

This survey focuses on the current funding landscape for cross-border collaboration in the performing arts. Your responses will feed directly into a policy paper on AgoraEU (the EU culture funding programme for 2028–2034) and provide broader evidence for policymakers at international, European, national, and regional levels.

We want to hear from artists, producers, managers, and other professionals working in dance, music, performance, theatre, circus, outdoor arts, or interdisciplinary forms, wherever you are based. If you work outside the Creative Europe countries, your perspective is still very much welcome.

Take the Survey

The survey takes approximately 15–20 minutes and can be completed anonymously. Your personal data will only be used by the PAC organisations for the purposes of this survey.

You may save your progress and return to complete it later. The survey is open until Friday, 17 April 2026.

About the Performing Arts Coalition

This survey is led by five performing arts networks: ASSITEJ, Circostrada, EDN, EFA, and IETM, working together as the Performing Arts Coalition to advocate for the sector's shared needs.

EDN takes part in the Performing Arts Coalition in the context of Embodied Transformations, our EU-funded network project.
