EBA Commissions and Co-productions
The co-production and commissioning of new works by artists with disabilities is a priority for Europe Beyond Access.
Between 2024 and 2027 Europe Beyond Access partners will commission 19 new dance works by disabled artists. These works will be presented by the commissioning partner, and will also be supported by Europe Beyond Access to tour.
In addition, 4 disabled-led dance works will be chosen as Europe Beyond Access co-productions, selected through open call. These works will receive investment from Europe Beyond Access, and guaranteed presentation by at least two of the project partners. Europe Beyond Access will additionally support the chosen artists to make contact with further venues and festivals to encourage ongoing touring.
