The Ibsen Scope Grants award innovative projects in drama and performing arts that engage with existential, social, and society-related themes.
.
Created by the Norwegian government, these grants support individuals, theatre groups, organizations, or institutions that pursue critical artistic discourse.
.
Grantees must submit applications by a specified deadline, following the established rules and guidelines. A jury—appointed by the Norwegian Ministry of Cultural Affairs in collaboration with Teater Ibsen—evaluates proposals and selects recipients based on artistic merit, relevance to Ibsen’s themes, and capacity to stimulate meaningful conversation.
.
Funded projects typically lead to theatre performances, creative works, or interdisciplinary explorations that reinterpret or engage with Ibsen’s legacy for contemporary contexts. The public presentation of awarded works often becomes part of the Ibsen Scope Festival, offering visibility and recognition to recipients.
.
The grants are administered and overseen by Teater Ibsen, which handles application logistics, jury facilitation, and reporting of public fund usage. The total program budget for grants is approximate NOK 2,000,000, supporting multiple projects across different countries and contexts in any given year.
.
Eligibility:
- Applications are open to a wide range of creators: individual artists, theatre companies, organizations, and institutions.
- The program continues to encourage work that not only pays homage to Ibsen’s dramatic legacy but also inspires artistic inquiry into pressing social issues through performance, interpretation, and innovation.
