2023-2025 ISPA Taiwan Fellowship Application

The International Society for the Performing Arts’ (ISPA) Taiwan Fellowship provides three-year access to ISPA’s extensive international network of arts professionals to two (2) mid-career leaders from Taiwan’s performing arts community. Participants join the ISPA membership and attend the 2023, 2024, and 2025 New York ISPA Congresses where they engage in the development and exchange of ideas with leaders from some of the world's most significant presenting organizations, performing arts organizations, artist management agencies, cultural policy groups, foundations, festivals, and related professionals.
Performing arts professionals who are deeply committed to increasing the global connectivity of the performing arts industry, as well as those who take initiative in their own professional development, are most likely to benefit. This opportunity is intended for those working in the management of the performing arts.

Eligibility:
The Taiwan seeks to engage leaders within the professional performing arts sector. Two (2) participants must be based in Taiwan and be interested in developing their career through an extended engagement with ISPA.
Applicants must:
• Be a permanent resident or citizen of Taiwan
• Currently working in the performing arts in Taiwan
• Minimum of five years professional experience in the performing arts
• Have the ability to attend and fully participate in ISPA for the next three years
• Have a strong working knowledge of English (must provide scores of a proficiency test such as TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge Assessment, TOEIC, GEPT; or proof of completion of a bachelor’s, master’s, doctorate, or professional degree at an accredited college or university where English is the only language of instruction)

Selected candidates are eligible to participate for a total of three years. There will be an annual review process (typically in June), and participants may be requested to leave the program at the discretion and mutual agreement of ISPA and the host organization. The candidates will ideally represent the theatre, music, or dance field in Taiwan.
