Are you up for getting some new, alternative and crazy creativity thrown at you?
Then I just stumbled across something you must take a look at.
Thursday and friday AFUK (Academy for untamed creativity) will show what they have been working on lately.
AFUK is a creative environment, which amateurs and professionals use to get any wild thought or idea out in the open.
These bursted minds have created this exciting event, where you will experience breath taking new circus, different dance performances, art work and much more.
Check out the event and read more about the concept on: www.afuk.dk
So, go get inspired and come back home all enthusiastic or just puzzled. I’m sure it will move something in you.

This thursday Copenhagen Photo Festival will be kick started by the opening of the exhibition:
5 x personal projects.
I have taken a small peep and I most say I am truly impressed by the work and the diversity of the subjetcs represented:
Maria Fonfara shows scenes, which most people probably don’t see very often about love, sex and intimacy in the third age, about loosing your partner and accepting the decay of the body.
Christian Holst takes you to Burma, one of the poorest countries in the world, where people are strongly oppressed by social inequality and disrespected human rights.
Thomas Lekfeldt tells the story of three poor, danish families and the missing resources in their daily life, which most people probably take for granded.
Mads Nissen puts a focus on Denmark’s fallen soldiers and shows photos kindly provided by families who have lost someone in the war against terror in Afghanistan.
Last but definitely not least Jonathan Bjerg Møller emphasizes the forgotten food crisis in Niger, where more than 10 million people were starving and in great need of help, but never came even close to the media’s attention because of the simultaneously happening earthquake in Haiti and floods in Pakistan.

The exhibition will run from 9th-19th of June.

Fatamorgana is a photography school in Valby opened more than 20 years ago. They don’t try to follow the trends, focusing on a student’s own approach instead, making the pictures more personal and better appreciated.
You can see it by yourselves at this year’s graduation exhibition which opens in Carlsberg on Thursday with wine and snacks (which are said to be delicious!). And beautiful people, of course.
Facebook event (in Danish).

Free style rappers, break dancers, barbeque, cocktail- & beer bar at Saxogade - one of the most hyggelige streets on Vesterbro – they know how to throw a street party – I know for a fact.
And yes it is friday – parties are everywhere!

WAREHOUSE 9 is a performance space, art gallery and a club, gathering mostly the queer community of Copenhagen, located in the old part of the Meatpacking District.

Together with Running sculptures and Dadadans Dansehallerne invites you to dance with the dual program ‘Moving Me Moving You’.
The choreography ‘En Luftning’ (An Airing) breaks the division between spectator and stage. The presence and movement from the audience on stage define the dancers road through space.
A relationship between the audience and dancers which shapes the whole experience with a new imprint each evening.
In ‘Fjer & Stiletter’ (feathers & heels) you can experience Helle Bach show and tell the story about her personal experiences at the colorful Folies Bergere in Paris.
Drop by Dansehallerne and get an insight into the relationship between long legs, high breasts and the transform into a true showgirl.
