Through the IKF, we support the creation of new productions and the development of existing productions in music, theatre, dance and performance that are of a high artistic standard and have public impact. Collaborative artistic development of the project is a prerequisite. The application must clearly demonstrate a genuine mutual interest in a collaborative dialogue-oriented production. The work should be presented abroad in a professional setting, and if possible, also in Germany. In addition to pure music, dance or theatre productions, interdisciplinary, hybrid projects or projects involving the appropriate use of digital media are also eligible.
All project costs, including artist fees, travel costs and production expenses, can be included in the funding application. The requested funding amount should be no more than €30,000 and no less than €15,000.
Projects that are not eligible for funding are purely commercial projects, commissioned works, guest performances or tours, projects with a residency-based character, music recordings, film or exhibition projects without a performative element as well as ongoing operational costs.
