Playwright Ivan Vyrypaev launches grants for theatre professionals

#News

The Teal House Foundation, an initiative by actress Karolina Gruszka and playwright Ivan Vyrypaev, has announced the launch of the Art Integration grant programme. Designed to support theatre professionals forced to leave their home countries, the programme aims to help them rebuild their careers in Europe.

Art Integration is intended to assist theatre practitioners from Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus. It provides support with adaptation, project funding, and mentorship from leading experts in the theatre industry.

“Starting life from scratch and rebuilding a creative career in a new country is never easy, and we understand this all too well. We developed this competition to help theatre artists bring their projects to new audiences while receiving professional support and establishing new connections,” says Vyrypaev.
