The Berlin Performing Arts Market offers local, national and international professionals the opportunity to meet Berlin artists and producers both formally and informally.

A central part of the Performing Arts Market program are the pitching sessions, in which the artistic works of various artists and groups are presented and show the diversity of Berlin's independent performing arts community. International and nationwide curators and organizers can discover new productions, invite artists and their work to their venues and festivals in direct contact and enter into new collaborations. Artists from all over the world can connect with Berlin networks, enter into an exchange with the city's inspiring environment and take these experiences back with them.
