Applications from Individual Performing Artists
The following guidelines are intended to assist individual performing artists with their applications:
- SB&W Foundation will welcome applications for financial assistance from individual directors, actors, designers and other performing artists to:
i. undertake a specific production or performance.
ii. take up a secondment to an established company
iii. attend conferences in Australia or abroad
iv. attend theatre festivals in Asia, Europe and the USA
v. further their professional training in Australia or abroad
vi. and for such other activities as the SB&W Foundation Board may approve. - Preference will be given to individual artists who have established a beginning to their professional careers in Australia.
- At the present time support for individuals may not exceed $10,000 in any one year and, depending on the quality of other applicants, may be less than the amount requested, in which case it is important for the applicant to indicate whether the project can proceed with a lesser amount. A successful application will receive one grant or support payment.
- An application for assistance will not be considered until the Board has received an assessment and acquittal of a project previously assisted by SB&W Foundation.
