We‘ve all been there: you have this idea for a play, a performance, a book, a series of events, a PROJECT. You submit a project application, overcome obstacles such as forms and cost financing plans, you show patience and cultivate hope while waiting for funding approval. And then it comes - the day when you receive a rejection letter and it‘s clear: this idea won‘t get any money. Your project cannot be realized - at least not as planned. And now? Give it away, forget it, auction it, scrap it? Manifest money from somewhere? Put it in a drawer for later?

We know this and we know that it hurts! Because we firmly believe in all the great ideas out there. And we are extremely curious to see what we will have missed out on! Almost anything is possible in the subjunctive - that‘s why we invite you to put your unfunded project in the deserved spotlight at least once at the »Long Night of Unfunded Projects« on Sat 7.12. in the Schwankhalle.

Apply now!

Until 15.10. you can apply with your unrealized project at hylla@schwankhalle.de. All you need is the title of your project and an indication of the genre (e.g. performance, dance, book project, …).

Ten projects will be randomly selected to present themselves on stage at the Long Night of Unfunded Projects. For this we offer: A screen, a projector, 1-2 microphones, a PA, a fog machine, a maximum of 15 minutes of spotlight and 200,- expense allowance.

After the presentation of the projects, we invite to an exchange about sustainable funding instruments of the future and toast to all the good ideas out there – together with the LAFDK and invited guests (including Martina von Bargen, Landesverband darstellende Künste Niedersachsen and Alexander Hauer, Landeverband darstellende Künste Bremen)

Note: The project is aimed at artists from Bremen. Travel or accommodation costs cannot be covered.
