New Performance Programme

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

You may seek support to cover costs relating to the mounting of your
