Fatamorgana – a school that nurses artistic photographers, is hosting a vernissage friday at Stadens Museum for kunst at Christiania.
I personally recommend this, as I happen to know one of the exhibiters and if his work is the standard, I predict that the exhibition will be amazing.
Beers and beats are available at the gallery.

Look at me, I built my own super-shiny, golden and faster-than-lightning sledge the other day.
Rumor has it that homemade sledges range very high on the christmas lists this year, so my friend and I went to build a sledge.
They gave us the 5 wooden pieces and said with a crooked smile: “You might need to polish the edges a bit”. And so we did. For 30 minutes. By-passers gladly stopped to look at us working, commenting and giving advice for the two girls at my own age, who had a hard time using the drilling machine. (Not that I was any better)
All day long we were a bunch of enthusiastic people present, children as well as adults, with sawdust on our clothes and paint on our hands. The crew at the event was very welcoming and dressed in Santa suits. So, it was a thrill to turn to the cute Santa Claus and ask for more screws and another piece of sand paper.
It took us about an hour to build two sledges, but somehow it could be built and painted in less then 30 minutes (which two guys managed later that day-bummer). It wasn’t really cold but there was a certain feeling of winter, when people started leaving, dragging their sledge on the pavement home.
And the day after it actually snowed.

“It’s gonna be a cold, cold christmas without…” a sledge!
It’s not that I haven’t noticed the lack of snow, I just think it’s better to be safe than sorry.
(And what would be cooler than riding your own self-made sledge when the snow gets here?)
On this day Kulturskaberne provide you with all the materials, equipment and hopefully a bit of guidance in how to build your own sledge.
There will be material available for 50 sledges in total and of course you will find shining lights in the christmas tree, hot chocolate and sweet christmas tunes as well. So, bring a friend and build away!

I actually got this event recommended by my Canadian friend Michael. He loves Copenhagen and talks about Denmark as a country with a lot of great hidden music… But he can’t buy it anymore, as he sadly, has moved back to Canada.
I promised to get him some music stuff (Efterklang) at this event, as it is exceptionally cheap.
Maybe I’ll find some cheap arty posters, books etc. for the friends without christmas wishes. And coffee… Lots of coffee.

I know it’s not December yet – but we are getting close; and if you are a part of the bunch that already sings carols in august – I’m sure you won’t mind a Christmas market in late November.
This weekend the school of Design & Architecture opens the doors to the annual Christmas Market. Here you’ll find the usual christmas snacks combined with different unique items, arty artefact and handicrafts all for sale and all made by the very talented students.
The premises and general atmosphere are very “hyggelige” and might be enought to bring you into the christmas spirit – that is, if you haven’t already caught it.

Bitchslap magazine – one of the coolest independant magazines in the DK. If you don’t know it yet, I suggest you find a free copy in one of the hotspots they’re distributed to. Or even better – snatch a copy at the Bitchslap#14 release party.
Bitchslap, to me, is subculture, street, art, fashion, design, photography, music and coolness. Check it out.
At the party, there’ll be dj’s, a (supposedly) legendary dance competition, 20,- bar and free Tuborg Gold from 21:00 – 22:00.
See event on facebook.

It’s time to get out of your comfort zone!
The cross-cultural event Make Your Move is now running in Copenhagen and everyone is welcome to join.
In short Make Your Move is a competition in dance-choreography and stage art for 15-25 year-olds in Morocco and Denmark.
Professional choreographers give free master classes and at each workshop 2 talents are found. When all 5 workshops in Copenhagen have taken place, the 10 selected talents get a few weeks to make their choreography for the Make Your Move Award Show at Dansescenen, Copenhagen December 11th. Check out facebook for more information.
I have participated in one of the workshops already and I am very excited about the concept! Yes, it is scary to show the other participants what you have come up with in the short amount of time given at the workshop, but it is such a great feeling when you just let yourself go and start interpreting the music your own way.
So, if you are curious and feel like you have some kind of idea or inspiration in your head, please just show up and do it for the thrill of turning your imagination into movements. When you have come up with your interpretation of the song, you and the other participants will be split up in smaller groups and you start showing each other your work. Then you will get the chance to suggest a way of putting participants’ pieces together due to your idea of the mood, room and so on and this is the actual choreography work taking place. I felt so inspired when I left the workshop and I hope you will feel the same way. It is simply too cool to dare do something like this!

One year ago Copenhagen got this super cool street facilities’ area called StreetMekka. Streetmekka is an initiative to improve the circumstances for street culture in Denmark by offering dance-, parkour-, soccer-, DJ- and basket ball classes INDOOR.
It is kept loyal to the street by looking sort of rough inside with the graffiti decorated concrete walls and asphalted basket ball lots. No wonder Streetmekka has become real popular during the year and friday it is time to celebrate this!
On B-day ALL CLASSES ARE FREE and no matter if you would like to join in or just watch, I think there are some really cool things going on:
Dance battles, drawing workshops, DJ school, street soccer, concerts, double-dutch and live media coverage by DR.
See the entire program
No doubt it will be great and of course there is an after party to attend to as well. After party at Rust See you there!

Maybe you are hungover on sunday and need something spicy to jumpstart your system – maybe you just have curious taste buds… In both cases World Food Fair should meet your demands.
Taste Nørrebro and Frederiksberg which basically include the whole world. There will be, among others, food from Marocco, Thailand and Palestine. Vegetarian delights and organic dishes will also be served.
I know it’s late in the month and money are scarce – but 10 tastes are only 15 kr.
