Arts Council England (ACE) has launched a £5 million scheme aiming to support regional touring in England. Incentivising Touring: Repayable Grants for Theatre and Dance will offer repayable grants of up to 25% of a production’s capitalisation costs (to a maximum of £500k) in an effort to reduce the risk of touring large-scale productions around the country.
It is hoped the funding will boost the confidence of boards and investors, prompting an increase in tours and wider investment. If supported tours are commercially successful, the grant will be returned to ACE to be reinvested in future tours and the pilot will inform the development of a longer-term programme. The Incentivising Touring Scheme is launched alongside a major new research study focusing on the current touring landscape.
