With our latest survey from November 2022, we examined the funding structures for the independent performing arts in several European countries. Expert interviews and an extensive questionnaire form the basis of this international comparative study.
On November 10th 2022, we held an Online Event focusing on ‘funding structures for the independent performing arts in Europe’. As a result of our survey and the Online Event we hereby recommend specific topics.
The analysis and results correspond with Thomas Fabian Eder’s findings in his dissertation ‘Independent Performing Arts in Europe. Institutional Consolidation and Precariousness of an
Emerging Field’. Through the conduct of expert interviews and the dissemination of a large-scale survey, EAIPA contributed to an international comparative study concerning the European
Independent Performing Arts, conducted by Thomas Fabian Eder at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich. This study further substantiates the presented recommendations. Publication
of the corresponding monograph is planned through Routledge in 2023.
***
EAIPA – the European Association of Independent Performing Arts was founded in 2018 as the umbrella organisation for associations and interest groups from all over Europe representing the independent performing arts internationally and at the European level.
EAIPA operates at a B2B level and its members, in turn, represent the actors from the professional independent performing arts field on the respective national levels. The designation ‘independent performing arts community’ comprises all professional freelance theatre-makers, artistic ensembles, and independent institutions and structures working in the genres of dance, theatre, circus, performance, music, performing arts for children, and youth theatre as well as overall interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary artistic work.
