Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media: rescue and support package »Neustart Kultur«

The emergency federal funding programme for dance that is being jointly developed and managed by Diehl+Ritter, Dachverband Tanz Deutschland e.V. and Joint Adventures / Nationales Performance Netz is part of the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media’s rescue and support package “Neustart Kultur”. 

With a total of 20 million Euro emergency funding for the German dance scene, the programme is made up of three core strands: TANZPAKT RECONNECT aims to strengthen dance infrastructure and institutions to secure their future success, DIS-TANZEN offers study grants for self-employed solo dance artists and incentives for dance schools and cultural organisations to expand their creative learning programmes, and STEPPING OUT supports the development, production and distribution of dance in new spaces. Candidates can apply for funding from only one of these programmes per project.
