Performing Arts

Through yearly initiatives and public events gathering French and British professionals, we support the visibility and production of the best of French creation on British stages.

Encompassing theatre and dance, the Institut français du Royaume-Uni works together with British institutions and festivals to ensure the visibility of French artists in the UK. En Scène! and Cross-Channel Theatre, its two flagship initiatives, are complemented by a rich in situ programme of public events: panel discussions, one-to-one conversations enabling professionals to meet and impulse new projects together.

 

Cross-Channel Theatre

 Cross-Channel Theatre is a translation programme supporting Francophone contemporary playwrights. It aims at initiating a production process on British stages for its yearly laureates.
