19 ambitious projects, aimed to test innovative, more inclusive and sustainable, performing arts touring and distribution models, have been selected by the Perform Europe Jury, composed of a balanced and diverse group of 11 accomplished performing arts professionals. The partnerships behind these projects are composed of performing arts producers and presenters from across all disciplines of the performing arts, many Creative Europe countries and the UK.

We are launching the Perform Europe Live programme of more than 45 artistic works and over 250 presentations from 19 Perform Europe partnerships. 

The programme gathers over 85 partners and is spread across more than 90 physical and digital locations in the Creative Europe countries and the UK, offering incredible performances and dance installations, intriguing documentary theatre, immersive public choreography, acrobatic circus shows, pioneering workshops, and much, much more. 

Perform Europe partnerships The Art of Conflict, Springback Ringside, Feminist Futures, and Beyond Touring kick off the year with the first Perform Europe presentations. The programme runs from January until the end of June 2022. 

For more information about the presentations and how to buy tickets already for the January presentations, explore the Perform Europe Live programme on our interactive map.

Led by over 85 partners, the 19 ambitious Perform Europe partnerships are hitting the road to test new ways of touring and presenting performing arts works across borders in a more fair, inclusive, digital, and sustainable way. The selected projects represent all performing arts disciplines and 27 Creative Europe countries and the UK.

Perform Europe is an EU-funded project aimed to rethink how performing arts works are presented across borders in a more inclusive, sustainable and balanced way by designing and testing new touring and distribution practices. This 18-month journey includes a research phase, launching a digital platform, testing a support scheme, and designing policy recommendations.

Perform Europe is funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union and co-managed by a Consortium of 5 organisations: IETM – International network for contemporary performing arts, the European Festivals Association (EFA), Circostrada, EDN – European Dancehouse Network, and IDEA Consult.
