Mancopy on Danceroads to North America
From May 2010 Archauz and Mancopy Dance Company see yet another fruit of a hard international work. Danceroads is a project where five young choreographers is sent to five venues in Europe and Canada.
As the Danish representative, Jens Bjerregaard has picked out Lars Dahl Pedersen, who will present a 20-minute work for Mancopys dancers. His choreography will be shown together with four other selected choreographies in Montreal, Canada, Cardiff in Wales, Turin in Italy, Archauz in Aarhus and Arnheim in Holland.
First visit to AmericaJens Bjerregaards three main arguments for Archauz´ and Mancopys participation in Danceroads are these:
"Danceroads is our first transatlantic partnership. We send our house company on tour and in May 2010 Archauz receives five young international choreographers and their works," he says.
"This gives not only the company but also the Aarhus dance environment and the citizens of Aarhus a lot of artistic benefit," Jens Bjerregaard explains.
