Our work in Theatre and Dance
We create new international opportunities for the UK performance sector, through collaboration and exchange. We help UK creatives and their international counterparts to share ideas and learn from each other.
We work to promote a deeper understanding of ourselves, our world and each other through a range of performance genres including live art, circus and outdoor arts.
We work with partners around the world, designing arts programmes to meet priorities that are specific to each country and context. Our partners include arts organisations, venues, festivals, support organisations, NGOs, artists and practitioners. We work with them on collaborations, tours, visits, skill-sharing and long-term development programmes.
Our team of performing arts professionals provide the sector with expert advice on international collaboration and broker connections between artists and organisations in the UK and around the world.

Connections Through Culture Grants
The Connections Through Culture (CTC) Grants are now open! The grants support collaborative projects between artists, creative practitioners and arts organisations between the UK and select countries in Asia and Europe.
