[Reader-list] [Announcements] IFA: New Performance Grant Programme

[Vivek Narayanan]

INDIA FOUNDATION FOR THE ARTS





New Performance



Are you a performing artist or group? Are you seeking funds to develop an
innovative new production in theatre, music, dance or other forms of
performance art? If so, this programme is addressed to you. Please read on.



Scope



This programme supports exciting new productions in the performing arts.
These productions could straddle different genres in the performing arts,
explore multilingualism in performance, use new media innovatively, or
address subjects that have not been widely explored in performance. These
are only examples, however, and do not exhaust the possibilities offered by
this programme.

Application

Applications under this programme can be submitted for consideration at any
time. You may write your proposal in any Indian language including English.
You can expect to receive a reply from us within one month, indicating
whether your proposal falls within the programme's scope and budgetary
limits.

To apply, please send us a short note describing

a) Your existing practice, and your concerns and interests as a
practitioner.

b) The nature of the production for which you are seeking funding and how it
addresses our programme.

Please also remember to include the following with your proposal:



a) Reviews and recordings (if available) of your work.

b) Your bio-data or background information about your institution.

c) Your address, telephone/fax numbers, and e-mail address.

d) A work plan, specifying the duration of the project.

e) A budget.



You may also wish to include two references from senior artists in your
field.



You may seek support to cover costs relating to the mounting of your
production. These could go beyond technical production costs to include
pre-production research and other costs. You can also include costs for the
first performance of the production in your budget.

You are welcome to develop your proposal through dialogue and interaction
with IFA staff. You may write to us or post an online letter of inquiry
describing your project idea briefly. You may also use the online letter of
inquiry to communicate with us on any matter pertaining to this programme.



Eligibility

You are eligible to apply if you are an Indian national, a registered
non-profit Indian organization, or have been resident in India for at least
five years. Your collaborators, if any, should also fall into one of the
above categories.
