These can be documentary, fictional or experimental live performances and live radio plays, audio or soundwalks, live podcasts, interactive formats and other innovative or interdisciplinary audio formats.
The formalities:
- Projects: In addition to completed works, we also consider expressive, intelligible project sketches and concepts for our programme. Well documented projects that have been presented elsewhere are equally welcome.
- We offer remuneration for performance for the selected projects and audio works, as well as accommodation and reimbursement of travel costs to Bern. We are unable to fund entire productions, but smaller production contributions may be possible. Please refer to the status of project funding in the application.
