Apply for funding to give deaf and hard-of-hearing people the opportunity to experience concerts and performing arts performances,

The pool for performance interpretation of concerts, performing arts performances etc. has just been reopened. Actors who produce and/or organise professional concerts and performing arts performances can now apply for fees for professional sign language interpreters specialising in performance interpretation for one-off performances. This will give deaf and hard-of-hearing people a better opportunity to experience these cultural events.

What can you apply for?

You can apply for funding for fees including preparation, organisation and any travel and accommodation expenses for professional sign language interpreters specialising in performance interpreting for one-off performances.

A professional sign language interpreter is defined as an interpreter who has either graduated from one of the current Danish sign language interpreting programmes or has been certified by the relevant authorities in Denmark.

Who can apply?

You can apply if you are an actor who produces and/or organises professional concerts and performing arts performances, including theatres, venues, groups, ensembles, associations, institutions and more.

Background to the scheme

The scheme aims to give deaf and hard-of-hearing children, young people and adults throughout the country the opportunity to experience concerts and performances on equal terms with everyone else.

A maximum of DKK 100,000 can be applied for per applicant.

It is the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces that processes the applications received and decides. 

Application deadline: Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and the pool closes when the funds are exhausted.

Are you an artist – or are you part of a company, an independent group, an orchestra, or another producer working at the intersection of music and performing arts?

Then you have the opportunity to use Radar's production facilities for your next project.

Radar has been selected by the Danish Arts Foundation as part of the network for music-dramatic and cross-aesthetic projects for music and performing arts. This means that in 2026, we will make production facilities available for nine weeks, during which artists can immerse themselves in the development of new works, experiments, and collaborations.

IS KULTURVÆRFTET THE PERFECT SETTING FOR YOUR INTERDISCIPLINARY ART PROJECT?

Now you have the opportunity to use our production facilities for your next project.

Kulturværftet has been selected by the Danish Arts Foundation to serve as a networking hub for the development of cross-aesthetic art. Therefore, we are making our concert hall available for up to three weeks at a time in both 2024 and 2025 for projects that take place at the intersection of performance art and experimental music/sound.

Kulturværftet is a cultural center and venue, and for more than a decade, under the CLICK program track, it has provided a framework for festivals, concerts, workshops, and exhibitions at the crossroads of art, science, and technology. We have several different stages at our disposal, each suited to different types and sizes of projects. We can offer facilities ranging from gallery-like spaces to concert stages and black boxes.

Smaller theatres, performing arts groups, independent performing artists and actors can apply for grants for performing arts purposes, including international activities.

In addition, applications can be made for individual international activities and festivals in Denmark.

Smaller theaters, performing arts groups, and independent performing artists and actors can apply to have new performing arts productions included in KSelekt at Lille Scene in the Royal Danish Theatre's Playhouse during the 2026/2027 season. KSelekt is a collaboration between the Danish Arts Foundation, which selects performances, and the Royal Danish Theatre, which provides stage capacity. The Development Platform for Performing Arts has been selected by the Danish Arts Foundation as coordinator.

I disse år er vi i fix+foxy i færd med at udvide vores kunstneriske virke, både nationalt og internationalt, med nye produktioner, opsætninger og samarbejder. I forbindelse med vores kommende produktioner søger vi professionelle instruktørassistenter og co-directors til i samarbejde med instruktør Tue Biering at udvikle vores nye forestillinger, eller til at co-instruere allerede eksisterende forestillinger. Der vil være knyttet en varieret portefølje af opgaver til disse funktioner, men det vigtigste er, at du har lyst til at tage ansvar og eksekvere på de høje kunstneriske ambitioner.

Instruktørassistenter: Du er med i hele den kreative proces. Du understøtter instruktøren,
holder overblikket og lærer maskinrummet at kende. Du kan være autodidakt, dramaturg
eller lignende.

Co-directors: Du får et større ansvar, og du skal kunne instruere eksisterende værker
selvstændigt, eller indgå i nye produktioner med henblik på at overtage instruktionen, når
forestillingen skal videre til andre scener eller lande. Du er måske uddannet instruktør,
erfaren dramaturg eller har en stærk autodidakt baggrund.

Vi sætter både pris på nye talenter som har lyst til at lære mere, og vi er glade for at invitere
nogle profiler ind som allerede har en masse erfaring og som kan lære os noget. Det
vigtigste er at du har lyst og kan se dig selv i de forestillinger vi laver. Dertil må du gerne
have en veludviklet menneskelig intuition og have modet og styrken til at navigere og lede
et procesorienteret og ambitiøst prøverum.

Praktisk info
Den specifikke arbejdsmængde vil variere alt efter programmet i vores aktuelle sæson.
Vores ambition er at knytte en række profiler til kompagniet, som kan udvikle sig sammen
med os over en årrække.

Hvis du er interesseret, skal du sende din kortfattede ansøgning og CV til nikolaj@fixfoxy.dk.

Inclusion of works in the new Touring Network Denmark for adult touring theaters for the 2026/27 and 2027/28 seasons.

2-day workshop for Danish and international guests

In an unstable world, how do we sustain risk and openness in our artistic practice?
This two-day workshop is a hands-on exploration for artists working in performing arts for young audiences. It works through action and interaction rather than language or predefined ideas. Simple objects become tools for generating material, disrupting patterns and moving beyond established ways of making.
At its core is a shared investigation:
What do we avoid, and why? Which themes feel difficult or risky to approach — and what happens when we choose to move towards them?
The workshop brings together participants across cultural and linguistic differences in a shared process that prioritises doing over explaining, and experience over theory.
Open to international guests and Danish professionals who are willing to engage actively in the work.

Friday, June 26:

1:00–1:45 p.m.: Worksharing in The Pit with Giraff Graff – Diaries: After the Fire

1:45–2:30 p.m.: Worksharing in White Lab by Marie Kaae – What She Said

2:30–3:00 p.m.: Coffee and tea in the foyer

yes – dance biennale is a new, large-scale dance festival in Copenhagen, which in late summer 2026 will bring audiences together to experience some of the most powerful and striking contemporary dance in Denmark and the rest of the world.

For a month, dance can be experienced across the city: on stages, in studios, and in public spaces. Large performances and intimate formats. Talks, workshops, and events that welcome everyone.

yes – dance biennale takes place every two years. In 2026, it is created by Dansehallerne, København Danser, Sydhavn Teater, and Dansk Danseteater. From 2028, we invite everyone who works with dance at the highest level to contribute to the program.

The ambition is clear: to make Copenhagen a destination for world-class dance and choreography and to invite audiences up close to an art form that is booming nationally and internationally.

The Central Denmark Region’s Health and Culture Fund aims to support our policy in this area by providing funding for projects that operate at the intersection of health and culture.

We are looking for projects with broad regional partnerships in the fields of health and culture that seek to develop, refine, and establish methods and programs.

These can be new, borrowed, or already well-proven ideas and methods—ranging from early-stage projects to more mature or scale-ready initiatives. Regardless of the stage, it is important that projects, from the start of the application process and throughout the project period, explore how the project can become sustainable—including in the long term.

We are particularly seeking

Projects that work to prevent illness and improve well-being among citizens, patients, and their families—especially among children and young people.

Projects that can alleviate symptoms and discomfort during treatment or illness.

Projects that strengthen and support coping, rehabilitation, and recovery (the process of living a good and meaningful life after or with mental illness), e.g., in connection with chronic illness or mental illness.

Projects involving both hospitals and/or the social services sector in the Central Denmark Region and municipalities in Central Denmark.

Only applications for a minimum of 200,000 DKK will be accepted.
A total of 7.8 million DKK will be awarded in 2026.

Applications may be submitted for projects with a maximum duration of three years.
This is a temporary fund that is not expected to be re-announced.

On May 21, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, we will hold an information session about the fund at Godsbanen in Aarhus.

Register by May 18 here.

There is also an opportunity to participate in an online dialogue meeting on June 2, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM.

Please register by June 1 via this link.
