Apply for the Stimuleringsregeling Eigentijdse Dans from February 3 to 5
Mark it in your calendar: on Monday, February 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM, the Stimuleringsregeling Eigentijdse Dans (SED) will open. This scheme is intended for freelance dancers, such as choreographers and performers, with a demonstrable connection to the city.
With the SED, the AFK supports dance freelancers in their professional practice by contributing to the rental costs for rehearsal and production spaces in Amsterdam. You can apply if you are a professional choreographer or dancer with a demonstrable connection to the city, meaning you live or work here.
What's new about the SED?
To make the scheme as effective as possible, we are doing a few things differently this year:
- We are using a new application system for the SED, so all applicants must create a new account. Note: Even if you have applied for the SED before, you must create a new account.
-If more applications are received than we can allocate, we will determine the order in which applications are processed through a lottery. This way, everyone has the same chance of receiving support, regardless of when you submit your application. You can apply from Monday, February 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM until Wednesday, February 5, 2025, at 4:00 PM.
- Finally, make sure your professional eligibility test ('beroepsmatigheidstoets') is still valid when you apply.
