New Settings

Selection criteria for the New Settings programme are as follows: • Programmes will demonstrate a defining, multidisciplinary aspect. Selected projects may be: - The result of a collaboration between several artists and/or authors from different creative disciplines (in the making of a new work for the stage); - A work by an individual artist/author who has sought the collaboration of other artists from different disciplines or backgrounds; - A work by an individual artist/author that incorporates a significant multidisciplinary aspect into their own practice or creative process. • The project should explore new operative modes in its creative process and/or public outreach. • The project should be conceived for an audience of at least 100 people. • Particular attention will be paid to the project’s existing production plan, particularly with partner organisations (residencies, host venues, co-producers), and to its business/financial plan, including estimates of costs and revenues for tour dates. • The author or authors may make use of new digital technologies. • Proposals for work in the public space or alternative, non-theatrical settings are welcome. • The author or authors may devise work that shows a strong connection to the history of art and the performing arts. • Performance works devised for gallery and exhibition spaces are not eligible. • Particular attention will be paid to projects that mark a significant evo- lution in the work of the artist(s) concerned. • Each project must be supported by an organisation of a type listed in article 238bis of France’s Code général des impôts. Monies received are eligible for a tax rebate.
