Visegrad Artist Residency Program - Performing Arts was launched in 2011 in coop­er­a­tion with Truc Sphérique, Žilina. VARP - Performing Arts provides oppor­tu­ni­ties to host per­form­ing artists or com­pa­nies from and in all V4 mem­ber states and to sup­port con­certed work of tal­ented artists to cre­ate a plat­form for infor­ma­tion exchange and to sup­port the con­tem­po­rary the­atre and dance in Central Europe.

The pro­gram aim at sup­port­ing inno­va­tion, exper­i­ment and cre­ativ­ity in the per­form­ing arts - new drama, con­tem­po­rary dance, new cir­cus, phys­i­cal the­atre, visual the­ater, alter­na­tive the­ater, per­for­mance art. The pro­gram is not suit­able for stone the­aters, already devel­oped per­for­mances, or the­ater fes­ti­vals. The pro­gram sup­ports exchanges and con­tributes toward more inten­sive col­lab­o­ra­tion among free­lance artists and per­form­ing arts insti­tu­tions in V4 countries.
