We did it! The Swedish Dance History 09 Audio is HERE

During 24 hours did the flat of the editorial team transform into a grande recording device from which narratives and voices merged together into a symbiosis of a collective swarm. Vine, chilli and chocolate bars kept the dance doers awake until early dawn when 9 am the last page was read.

Here a first round:

The Time Is Growing - The Swedish Dance History is putting on weight

The Devil has occupied the body of David Dorfman, quite a look a like.

The Swedish Dance History is growing. The 1000 pages publication is pregnant due the 8th month. We have just made it to 14 hours. Fuck me, this is two days working days of listening to silly choreographers and dancers trying to use their brains. Yes, this is evidence to the assumption that dancers and choreographers is something more than a body. Make your own mind up and listen to some of the most poetic dope ever published on internet.

In the mean time lotion your ears with Rasmus Ölme's reading of the last page of The Swedish Dance History 2009.

The End Is Near - The Mother Fuckin' Armageddon

The Swedish Dance History did it again, the team brought on themselves an impossible task.
"-Dude, there is no way in hell that you can record and organize a 1000 pages of text in that short a time."
Well, fuck if we give up and shitgoddamn if we are stopping halfway. A new section of TSDH09 has been recorded on double locations, team Impulstanz is working it between workshops, shows and making out and the small but aggressive team in PAF has made progress to the extent where the endeavor will be classified as one of the worlds seven wonders. So far you can listen to six and a half hours of dance makers and doers reading from the bible of contemporary choreography and here comes and other chunk.
Mind you, The Swedish Dance History is very bad in one thing: to give up. It's simply not part of our vocabulary.

And hey tomorrow we will be there again with our recording devices, so hook up and make your contribution.

The Swedish Dance History Audio Even More Pages

The Swedish Dance History team Vienna needed some up tempo assistance to be able to cover some few hundred pages, so Kr66t Juurak kicked in and started to record the entire flock of artistic kids at PAF. Here some of the most upcoming evil dance and performance artists in the world started reading and do they do it good. No they are doing their job, and that they do G O O D.
Listen to the voices of a new paradigm, and check out Ulrika Berg ready to rock with a cheese grinder.

The Third Session After A Slight Jump in History

History isn't that linear and only the Swedish Dance History repeats itself - ehhh - not exactly but its always shiny silver and oh so sexy.
Listen to Atalanta Eke get down on Akseli Virtanen's Arbitrary Power, this 22 minutes of deep economical theory. Them girls from down under totally makes our day. The Swedish loves Australians. Goddamn.
