The International Coproduction Fund of the Goethe-Institut aims to support the unrestricted international and intercultural exchange of artists and their ideas. The funding is intended for coproductions by artists in the fields of theatre, dance, music and performance art and is open to professional artists, which demonstrably lack sufficient resources to realize their coproduction project on their own.
The joint application must be submitted by the foreign partner (living and working abroad) and has to show that working contacts already exist between the partners and that both parties are interested in putting together a dialogue-oriented production. Projects between German and non-European partners, in particular from transition countries, are preferred. The results of the collaborative efforts are to be presented in a professional setting abroad, if possible also in Germany.
A local Goethe-Institut have to be contacted before submitting the application. The application should include a feasible financial plan which, in addition to third-party funding, should show the substantial contributions of all the project partners involved. The amount of funding requested should not exceed €25,000. Hybrid and interdisciplinary formats and the use of digital media may be key components of submitted project idead. The deadline for submitting applications is 21 April. More information can be found here.
The Goethe-Institut is the Federal Republic of Germany’s cultural institute, active worldwide. The Institut promotes the study of German abroad and encourage international cultural exchange.
