Eligibility & Criteria-
- Projects in dance, theater, music and visual arts that provide increased public exposure of high quality contemporary work across national borders (e.g. presentation of a South African work in Zimbabwe) will be considered.
- Priority countries are South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, but motivations for opportunities in other SADC countries will be considered.
- Applicants are encouraged to describe how their project/performance will contribute to the increase of capacity of partners by strengthening networks and creating links. While the emphasis is on performance and exhibition, emerging opportunities for mutual exchange and collaboration will be indicated.
