The thumb rules
Before you sign up, it’s important to know if CODE DANS + is suiting for you.
Can you tick off all the points?
- CODE DANS + is for creators and choreographers who are at the beginning of their dance career. Creators who are working with amateur dancers are welcome as well.
- are creating a project with a link to amateur dance (e.g. because they work with amateur dancers) or who are at the beginning of their dance career.
- Your idea transcends your regular functioning. CODE DANS + searches for creative, experimental insertions that provide growth and development.
- The performance will take place outside the black box of a theater (if applicable).
- Your project starts at the earliest November 1, 2024 and ends before December 1, 2025.
- The applicant is + 18 years old and lives in Flanders or Brussels.
What is not eligible?
- School projects and private initiatives with commercial purposes
- Investment costs, fixed costs (EGW, telephone…), foreign travel costs
- Persons or organizations subsidized in the arts
Interesting to know:
- Creators and choreographers applying for CODE DANS support for the first time will have priority over creators and choreographers who have already received support in previous editions.
- Danspunt, RADAR and external expert(s) will make a selection of about 30 projects that will be supported in 2024-2025.
- You cannot submit the same project for both CODE DANS + and MaakPlaats, Danspunt’s laboratory project.
- If you participate in CODE DANS +, your work may be photographed or filmed and appear on Danspunt’s social media and you must mention the logo of CODE DANS + and the Flemish Government on every publication (print and online).
- It is possible to request funding from other organizations as well, but of course only for other costs, you cannot have 1 cost double-funded. In any case, explain well what you need these extra funds for.
- Danspunt & RADAR provide the support, you provide the organization and the audience!
