This incentive scheme is designed to stimulate the performance of new dramatic works in languages for which the state has responsibility under the Language Act. The grant is provided to professional, producing performing arts institutions after they have completed the premiere of new dramatic works for an audience. The program supports the creation and performance of original dramatic works, excluding dramatizations of existing material. Funding covers up to 40 percent of the dramatist's fee. This is a framework-managed scheme, meaning if total allocated amounts exceed the available budget, the grants will be reduced proportionally for all eligible institutions. Applications must include confirmation that the premiere has been completed and documentation of the agreed dramatist's fee.
