TOURBUS EUROPA is a European collaboration co-funded by Creative Europe, exploring new ways of organising international touring and collaboration in the field of contemporary and experimental music.
The programme uses data-informed insights to identify potential touring routes, connections, and opportunities across Denmark, Sweden, and Germany. The purpose of the project is to explore how such insights and tools can support artistic and strategic planning and decision-making for touring artists and bookers.
There are two open calls:
- Artists and ensembles: 15 performers, groups, or soloists in total (five in each of Denmark, Sweden, and Germany) working within contemporary, experimental, or newly composed music.
- Independent organisers and venues: 15 venues or organisers based in Denmark, Sweden, or Germany (a maximum of five from each country) to participate in the programme.
Participants take part in a structured programme consisting of:
- 3–4 group workshops
- 1–2 reflection sessions
- Testing selected ideas in their own organisation
- Exchange with venues and artists across Denmark, Sweden, and Germany
Selected participants/groups will receive a participation stipend of 800 EUR. This stipend compensates for the required time to engage fully in the programme and prepare for each workshop.
