The study visit to Vilnius will take place within the framework of the Sirenos Festival from 24 September to 2 October 2026 and will bring together 3–4 participants from Ukraine.
Since 2004, Sirenos International Theatre Festival has been Lithuania’s leading theatre event and a meeting point for the international professional community: producers, programmers, and curators.
The study visit programme includes viewings of Lithuanian and international performing arts productions, visits to cultural institutions in Lithuania, networking sessions with international professionals, workshops on building an international career and establishing partnerships, as well as participation in the festival’s public events. All costs are covered: accommodation, tickets to performances, transport, and a daily allowance.
We invite performing arts producers at the start of their careers who are fluent in English, have at least one completed project in their portfolio, and are prepared to be fully engaged in the programme throughout the entire week.
Application deadline: 21 June 2026 at 23:59 Kyiv time.
