Our creators Projects Shows Calendar About Via Zuid For creators

Application form

By filling out the form below, you are requesting support from Via Zuid for the year 2025. If you see added value in this, or if writing is not your strong suit, you may also elaborate on the concept through another medium, such as an accompanying video or audio file. Please make sure to fill in your details.

Submit the completed form by September 1, 2025.

Describe yourself/your background in max. 150 words.

Upload your plan.

The artistic plan or vision for the future may also be described (max. 1,000 words).

Via Zuid is, in principle, a co-producing, networking, and connecting partner. Please be aware that we – Via Zuid and the maker(s) – need a (supervising or executive) producer in order to realize and present the project.

This producing partner must be a legal entity, such as an existing company, a production house, or your own foundation. While it is certainly an advantage if you are able and willing to involve partners from Limburg, it is not a requirement that the producing partner is based in Limburg.

This producer must be willing and able to manage the financial aspects of the allocated development budget. In addition, it is a plus if the producer can also offer coaching, research residencies, and productional support, as well as help facilitate performance venues, publicity, and audience engagement.

If you don’t yet have a producer, please describe your ideas here for involving one and/or the existing support that is already in place, both within and outside Limburg. VIA ZUID is happy to think along with you.

By whom would you like to be artistically coached? Don’t hesitate to name your dream coach(es) here.

What makes your work distinctive? What is your position within the artistic field? What is the relationship to your previous work? Who are your artistic role models?

Some of this may already have been addressed in your vision.

Because Via Zuid allocates a personal development budget, it is important for us to know what your development goals are.

Indicate a maximum of four specific development goals — for example, in the artistic, business, production/organizational, or communication/audience-oriented domain.

These development goals will guide the conversations and support provided by Via Zuid.

For whom are you creating this performance/project? In what (public) context do you see your work developing? Do you have an idea of how you want to reach and engage your audience? What is the desired impact of your work?

What is your relationship with Limburg, and how do you want to further develop it?

Roughly outline what the planning of your development and creation process in 2026 looks like (preparation/research/showings).
