Project Assistance: Professional Performing Arts Organizations supports initiatives in the development, creation, production, realization, dissemination or live performance of classical, experimental, original, traditional and contemporary performing art forms from all world cultures. Performing Arts includes dance, music, theatre, multidisciplinary or other performing arts practices such as circus and comedy.

The program supports organizations and collectives and has two categories:

• Development and Creation supports the initial stages of the creative process including research, creation and project development.
• Production and Realization supports latter stages of project development, production, remounts, post-production and presentation and those projects intended for presentation.

For projects with a full range of activity you may apply for both categories in the same application.
