Nordic Countries on Stage in New York 2012 has received funding from Nordic Culture Point.
APAP is the biggest market in the world for promoting performing arts. In the beginning of January every year, New York also hosts a great spreadsheet of different performing arts festivals such as The Coil festival at PS 122 and Under The Radar Festival. This attracts presenters from all over the world to New York. Therefore it would be very efficient to start the common Nordic PR-project there.
