After an native american took, about two years ago, the management of the Angers castle, the city sees the arrival of a second american to an important function in the cultural field of Angers. Robert  Swinston will succeed, at the beginning of 2013 to Emmanuelle Huyinh at the head of the Centre national de danse contemporaine. Mays be he will know his counterpart, the curator of the Castle, Patricia Corbett. Mr Swinston inherits of a school funded in 1978 by a fellow citizen, Alwin Nikolais.

The presence of two native american is maybe a chance but nevertheless, it could help the city to gain more recognition in the country of these two officials. A few months ago, a twinnning agreement was signed with the Us city of Austin and the Université catholique de l'Ouest hosts a deparment of Saint Edward University, located in Texas.

The attempt to reinforce links between Angers and English speaking countries could at the same time go through the existing twinning between Angers and Wigan, a town located near Manchester. An aerial line was opened a few weeks ago between Angers and London but, apparently, there is no touristic offer about what to do in the region for UK passengers. When these arrived on the inaugural flight, it was discovered that nos buses were planned to drive them to Angers.
