Europe Beyond Access
Co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union (2018-2023), this flagship programme supported disabled artists in breaking the glass ceilings of the European contemporary theatre & dance sectors. A group of eight partners created 19 new commissions and worked with hundreds of disabled artists.
We'll soon be sharing details of the 2024 – 2027 edition. Subscribe to the Arts newsletter at the bottom of this page for updates.
