Folk Dancing / Danse folk
Sep 30 @ 16:00 – 18:00

An independently organised event.

I will be teaching some dancing that are usually danced during bal folk (scottish, mazurka,…), without gender roles.

Accessibility:

The event will be adapted to people with different physical abilities. It is easier of access for people who are not hearing
impaired (dancing to music). The building is currently not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately, but it is our top priority to make it so. An architect is already working on drawing a ramp and making an accessible bathroom in the space.

There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door), and the washrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building).
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.

presentation: squatted land, the “lentillieres” burrough (france)
Oct 5 @ 19:30
The presentation will be  about the Quartier libre des Lentilleres (Lentillere’s free borough).
It is a patch of 6ha of squatted farmland in the middle of the city of Dijon in France. 
Started in 2010 more than 150 persons are living there today, cultivating the land, building communities and solidarities, organising events, workshops, sharing skills, building solidarity with migrants and refugies and preparing the resistance against the urbanistic project planned on this area.
I will present briefly some of the varied projects, groups and activities that compose the mosaic of the borough.
Then I’ll go through the chronology that led to its occupation and developpement.
And I’ll end with some perspective on the current threat it’s facing and the resistance organising.

Söngvaka // Trad song session
Oct 16 @ 18:30 – 21:30

19:00-21:00

Monthly workshop session led by members of Kvæðamannafélið Iðunn, the organisation set up to preserve and pass on the singing traditons of Iceland (see http://rimur.is/?page_id=367). The aim of the sessions is to learn, practise and share traditional Icelandic folk songs, for example tvísöngur. We will also welcome people from other singing traditions to share their songs. The sessions are open to all. No previous singing experience is necessary. Songs will be taught ‘by ear’, with some notation available for people who find it helpful.

We will make every effort to accommodate everyone who comes. In particular, we are aware that some people are nervous about singing in ‘public’ situations. We will make every effort to make the sessions welcoming and supportive of everyone attending.
