Mobility Funding Guide to United States of America

On the Move — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 13:31:43 +0000

Our guide to cross-border mobility for artists and cultural workers from and travelling to the USA.

This cultural mobility funding guide lists national, local and international resources from both public and private funders. Two kinds of opportunity are included: outgoing and incoming. The outgoing opportunities are for nationals and residents of the USA wishing to travel outside the country. The incoming opportunities are for nationals from other countries who want to travel to the USA.

The guide only lists regular opportunities that are accessible online (for instance for touring, residencies, collaborations, training, etc.). Funds where information is only available offline, schemes which do not use open calls, and one-off or short-term funding programmes are not included.

Since 2011, On the Move has published 60 funding guides focusing on specific countries or world regions. They aim to make information on mobility funding clear and accessible, letting artists and cultural operators explore the field of opportunities. By gathering a large body of information in one place, they also help funders and policymakers to see how support is structured and to notice any shortfalls.

Our guides are always produced with partners, organisations and/or researchers who have a close relationship to the region, and we try to make them as complete as possible. If you see something is missing and it meets our editorial policy, then you can email mobility@on-the-move.org

Theatre Without Borders: Connecting Theatre Artists Worldwide

On the Move — Thu, 17 May 2012 16:54:46 +0000

Theatre Without Borders (TWB) is an informal, volunteer, virtual community that shares information and builds connections between individuals and institutions interested in international theatre exchange.

TWB began its evolution in November 2003 and was born out of a need for U.S.-based artists to connect with artists around the world and across political and national boundaries. TWB works through its website (www.theatrewithoutborders.com), as well as through public forums to explore and encourage the exchange of international theatre projects and artists.

TWB advocates actively within the United States and world-wide for theatre artists who see themselves as members of a global community, as well as citizens of their respective nations and cultures. TWB is a virtual and practical space for creating artist-to-artist, people-to-people connections and for sharing knowledge, information and skills.

TWB works on the basis of volunteerism. By donating time, skills and experience, TWB strives to remain independent and inclusive. In collaboration with various institutional partners, TWB plants seeds and watches them grow.

In 2011 TWB began dissemination of the documentation of its seven-year inquiry into the relationship between theatre artists and conflict transformation - The Acting Together Project, a collaboration with Brandeis University’s Peacebuilding and the Arts Program. Leadership of TWB includes a circle of committed network artists led by co-founder and co-director, Roberta Levitow; co-director, Daniel Banks; co-founder, Catherine Filloux; core-member David Diamond; and core-member Roberto Varea.
