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.

In the art department, you can expect detailed illustrations with inspiration primarily found in the animal kingdom – and who knows? you might end up bringing home some decoration for the walls; there will also be affordable posters as an alternative to the original pieces.

Pecha Kucha is Japanese for “Chit chat” and is about a number of creatives presenting their work, ideas and visions in 20 elements which each gets exactly 20 seconds of attention from the speeker – all to all a presentation of 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
An element could be a picture, a performance, a sound clip – everything is allowed as long as it doesn’t exceeds 20 seconds.
The presentations are primarily in Danish, but I know that some are going to be in English.
For a detailed line up, see Facebook event.
