01 · What the call wants
The opportunity in brief
Address inclusion, diversity or climate change
Projects should focus on inclusion and diversity or the fight against climate change, with quality, innovation and fair practice.
Reimagine touring
Partnerships are expected to co-create touring projects that can lead to meaningful change in how performing arts are presented across borders.
02 · What EURAN proposes
ART, DESIGN AND PLACE — A PERFORMING-ARTS TOURING PROPOSITION
EURAN proposes to contribute an artistic and spatial-design dimension to a cross-border performing-arts partnership. EURAN is not presenting itself as a performing-arts company; it seeks an established performing-arts lead and complementary partners capable of turning a EURAN artistic/design concept into an actual touring work. Possible directions include performance, visual environment, scenography, audience experience and place-based cultural encounters, developed around one of Perform Europe's priorities.
03 · Why EURAN
Relevant foundations already exist
Art & Design 2day
EURAN's long-running art-and-design editorial and product activity provides a broad visual and conceptual resource for developing artistic environments.
Project development experience
EURAN has a history of converting artistic and design concepts into structured propositions and real-world cultural projects.
Cross-border cultural network
EURAN's wider professional network can support partner discovery, cultural exchange and dissemination.
Place-based thinking
Architecture, design and cultural environments are part of EURAN's core conceptual territory and can complement a performing-arts touring proposition.
04 · Who EURAN is seeking
Defined capabilities — not symbolic association
Performing-arts lead
An eligible performing-arts professional or organisation able to lead the artistic touring proposition. Live music is excluded from this call.
Artists / performers
Practitioners from an eligible performing-arts discipline who can develop the actual touring work.
Production / touring partners
Organisations able to host, produce, tour or technically realise the project across different European territories.
Accessibility / sustainability expertise
Partners able to strengthen inclusion, accessibility and environmental performance where relevant.
05 · Why this is interesting
A concrete opportunity for participants
Performing-arts organisations gain access to an additional artistic/design layer and a structured concept-development capability without requiring EURAN to replace the specialist role of the performing-arts lead. The objective is a genuine co-created touring proposition, not the attachment of a visual-art project to a performing-arts application.
Express interest → discuss relevance, eligibility and role → form the appropriate team.
06 · Participation
Start with a conversation
Expression of interest does not constitute partnership. No organisation is presented as a partner until eligibility, role and participation have been discussed and agreed.
