Europe Beyond Access: Cultural Education Survey

Europe Beyond Access is undertaking research on the access, lack of access and experience of disabled students in higher education institutions in the performing arts in Creative Europe countries and the UK.

Survey here.

Theatre schools, dance academies, conservatories, and similar institutions that provide practical, skills-based education for those seeking to enter the professional performing arts (actors, dancers, technicians, directors, choreographers, producers, stage managers, lighting or costume or stage designers, or production managers). Research will also analyse what alternative educational and professional development paths have been followed by disabled people who could not access mainstream educational institutions.

The research combines interviews, focus groups, events, a literature review and several surveys. It is coordinated by On the Move, based on its previous research that led to the groundbreaking research series Time to Act. The research team includes disabled and non-disabled members. Their final report will be published in December 2025.

As part of the research process, there are three surveys that focus on three target groups (people can choose which one to fill in depending on which target group is most relevant for them):

1. The first survey is addressed to disabled* Performing Artists & Culture Professionals (including those in training) – *including those with disabilities, and those who are Deaf, Neurodivergent and chronically ill – in the fields of theatre, dance, and other performing arts forms.

2. The second is addressed to higher education institutions providing tertiary/university-level education in theatre, dance, and other performing arts forms. We are seeking the opinions and experiences of individual staff members as well as formal responses from administrations. More than one response from different representatives/staff members of the same institution are acceptable.

3. The third survey is addressed to performing arts organisations involved in the creation, production, distribution or presentation of professional works. It focuses particularly on their perception of educational opportunities in this field and how these may enable or hinder careers for disabled artists and disabled professionals in the performing arts.

The questionnaire is available in English, French, German and Spanish. If you are not comfortable in any of these languages, you can also respond in your own language and/or through a video/audio recording and we will make sure to translate your answers. In that case, thanks for informing us at mobility@on-the-move.org so that we can coordinate accordingly.

Deadline: 20 March 2025
