Dance Roads is a European Network (FR, NL, UK, IT, RO), dedicated to supporting innovative choreographers and providing them with an opportunity to emerge onto the international stage. It aims to give selected artists from each partner country a wide platform to showcase their work, and create and foster productive working relationships with artists and organisations from different countries.
The network currently hosts a biennial touring festival, jointly coordinated by each partner, which supports the transnational mobility of high quality contemporary dance works from choreographers in the early career stages. It presents short small-scale works, providing audiences with opportunities to view 5 choreographers' work from different nations within one programme. The network partners each host performances and a variety of workshops for the wider dance community, including pre and post show talks, professional development sessions, school performances and workshops, insight and networking events.
In 2014 the network celebrated its 25th anniversary and with the support of a EU Culture Programme grant delivered a two-year programme entitled Dance Roads Open Process (DROP).

National première
A comical and touching imbroglio. Lucie Augeai and David Gernez, many times awarded for this duet, choreographed the perpetual research of the other gender, sometimes complex, sometimes twisted. A man-woman duet materializing the embrace, the tension, the relationship to the other and the listening in a rich working of hands and face expressions. An allegory of love with baroque accents with light or biting energy ... On stage, two performers reveal themselves in a movement both fluid and violent, where humor and mime summon dance on Baroque music.

Regional première
This solo examines in a straightforward way how the body reacts in the conditions of stage situations co-created by space, costumes, sounds and the proximity of the audience. All of these aspects decide in the given moment – "here and now", "qui, ora" – about the form of gesture and rhythm, about each step and movement of this intimate journey. An empty stage, a dispassionate look at the very essence of dance language and stage presence – this is the minimalist task with which the dancers operate. It heads away from the metaphysical image of puppets fettered by internal and external limitations, including gravitational resistance, and finds a psychological dimension in motion, capable of powerful emotional impact.
Yonder
Choreography Jasper van Luijk (NL)
with Jefta Tanate
National première
About the inevitable relationship between man and time.
Many people dream about traveling in time. But isn't our whole existence one long journey trough time? Yonder is a search for the beginning and the end of time within the lifecycle of one person. Dancer Jefta Tanate questions time to give meaning to different ways of time experience. The work challenges the audience to escape from every day life and surrender to a timeless spatial experience.

Layers
concept and dance Cristina Lilienfeld
produced by Centrul de Cultura "George Apostu" Bacău and Centre Choregraphique Trois-C
National première
"The starting point for my project was an image which had a lot of emotional and sensual impact over me. In this image I saw the human living skin and how it changes with time, how it peels off and always regenerates.
I asked myself : what kind of movement answer does tactile stimulation bring? What kind of emotional responses I get in seeing certain images with the skin? How clearly can I communicate through touching? How can I bring with subtlety the images of change, time passing and regeneration into a performance? I'm proposing a continuous dialogue between the sound, tactile sense and movement.
Lay(ers) is performance about vulnerability and the fight to get inside the emotional body, it's about showing and offering and receiving the audience inside me".
