Japan Foundation Europe Performing Arts Grant Programme 2014-2015

The Japan Foundation’s Performing Arts Japan (PAJ) programme for Europe supports organisations based in Europe that are planning performing arts projects related to Japan. The programme covers two categories of applications. 

Touring Grant – assists the presentation of Japanese related performing arts projects in which the Japanese artist is included in the tour at multiple locations in Europe, with emphasis on locations outside major capital cities where there is no regular exposure to Japanese performing arts.

Collaboration Grant – assists collaborations between Japanese and European artists in order to create a new work that has the potential of being developed into a touring project in the near future, enhancing the understanding of Japanese culture when presented to European audiences.

In 2013-2014 fiscal year, 14 projects (9 touring and 5 collaboration) were selected under the programme, for a total amount of 179,000 euros.
