The pool for performance interpretation of concerts, performing arts performances etc. has just been reopened. Actors who produce and/or organise professional concerts and performing arts performances can now apply for fees for professional sign language interpreters specialising in performance interpretation for one-off performances. This will give deaf and hard-of-hearing people a better opportunity to experience these cultural events.

You can apply for funding for fees including preparation, organisation and any travel and accommodation expenses for professional sign language interpreters specialising in performance interpreting for one-off performances.
A professional sign language interpreter is defined as an interpreter who has either graduated from one of the current Danish sign language interpreting programmes or has been certified by the relevant authorities in Denmark.
Who can apply?
You can apply if you are an actor who produces and/or organises professional concerts and performing arts performances, including theatres, venues, groups, ensembles, associations, institutions and more.

A maximum of DKK 100,000 can be applied for per applicant.
It is the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces that processes the applications received and decides.
