Dance, Drama and Music Funding |
 |
|
|
We are not an 'arts funding body' in the typical sense. This means that we do not support artists and companies for the purpose of developing their work. To read about our funding policy, see our main Arts funding page. However, we do give support to artists in dance, drama and music in other ways, providing a contact network, information and some tour management.
HOW DO YOU APPROACH US FOR SUPPORT?
As we are not a funding body, there is no application form. The process involves assessing whether particular projects match the Council's priorities and whether they can be included in our plans for the country concerned.
We strongly recommend that an overseas partner approaches the local British Council Arts Office in the country concerned to discuss the project in general terms before submitting full details. Also the British theatre, dance or music company should contact our Arts staff based in London to assess the likelihood of British Council support.
If the project is supported by our British Council office overseas you will need to send full details of the project in writing. Where possible, and where relevant, include the following: reviews, curricula vitae, details of the number of people, length of tour, freight specifications, breakdown of weekly fees, tour budget, and copies of invitations from overseas.
WHAT SUPPORT CAN WE GIVE YOU?
Provided you meet the criteria for support, we can offer advice and sometimes financial assistance to any form of high quality drama, dance and music activity overseas. A small number of outward tours are directly managed by our department, usually to countries where the arts infrastructure is less developed.
