Letters of peace! three more letters have been written.

Each day we send 3 letters to different persons.
Our letters contain instructional art from the book Grapefruit by Yoko Ono.
We choose them by shifting through the book fast and having the other saying: STOP followed by a number - page and piece on page. Today and yesterday we wrote to:

26th of Oct 2009, Monday
1: Tobias Billström - Line Piece; Tobbe got the almost too perfect instruction Erase lines.
2: Alan Jonson - Tape Piece IV; God luck!
3: Siv Jensen - Collecting Piece II; Its gonna keep her busy for a while.

I imagined the moon to the place where I know the sun sets. Tried to draw a circle around it on the grey sky. On top of evaporated water and floating particles. Big circle closer to horizon and another one up on the sky. Trying to keep the same size. Knowing that moon is the same even it looks smaller up on the sky.

Hejja hejja!

Stina Nyström EMAIL/MMS:

Ljusdal-Ånge-Östersund

Idag har jag rest genom landet norrut. Stannade mellan Ljusdal och Ånge och tittade upp mot himlen och ritade en cirkel. Vände mig mot nordväst. Ca. 5 meter i diametern. Marken var knölig och himlen otvivelakligen grå. Det kändes fint. Framme i Östersund besöktes en fontän, dock avstängd för vintern. Kändes tomt, kallt och mörkt. Detta finns på film, men jag får öva mig på mina tekniska prylar tills imorgon, idag blir det stillbilder på mms istället. Kommer inom kort.

Emelie:

I keep falling back into the soft, warm surroundings. heavy body, warm inside. rolling around for some time with another body, very small and warm. peaceful. almost only love.

Johanna Amnéus: Göteborg 09-10-25

I rise to my feet and dance to the quietness of the house... and to the song in my head that goes:

"It's getting dark and it's getting cold and the nights are getting long"

I see my reflection in the window as I breath out the busy world.

My midnight breath announces peace.

Introduces the fresh mind.

Embraces ideas.

Stina Nyström:

This is the place for my dance today!

Shout-out till Lars Epstein på DN och Gärdets Kaffebar!

English BELOW!

På Lars Epsteins blogg Epsteins STHLM kan man idag läsa om fredsmarschens aktiviteter och om stödet marschen har från olika håll. Förutom Perfect Performance här i Stockholm så hör t.e.x Jane Fonda, Juanes, Desmond Tutu, Dario Fo, Martin Sheen och Yoko Ono till de som stödjer marschen. Eller som Lars Epstein skriver:

Jimmy Carter, Dalai Lama, Pedro Almodóvar, Mikael Wiehe, Arja Saijonmaa, Maj Britt Theorin är bara några av alla människor världen runt som uttalat sitt stöd för fredsmarschen. Själv stöder jag den till 100 procent och kommer att gå med i Stockholm den 29 oktober. Vi ses väl i ledet?

Oss kommer ni inte se i ledet men väl per videolänk under Fredsmarschens manifestationer!


Glöm inte heller att gå med i dansfestivalen vi står värdar för från sängen. Skriv in er i formuläret till höger eller gå med i festivalgruppen 13 Days Dance Festival in 6 days for Peace på Facebook!

Coolt.

Vi är också stolta att kunna presentera en ny sponsor! Kaffefrågan är löst!
Vi kan med galen stolhet presentera Gärdets Kaffebar som sponsor på kaffesidan! Heja, Per! Heja, Emmelie!

Peace!

Oh, and the ENGLISH!
Over at Lars Epstein's blog Epstein STHLM, you can now read about The World March for Peace, the activities surrounding it and about the support the march is getting from different directions. Besides Perfect Performance here in Stockholm, Jane Fonda, Juanes, Desmond Tutu, Dario For, Martin Sheen and Yoko Ono are among those who support the march. Or, as Lars Epstein writes:

Jimmy Carter, the Dalai Lama, Pedro Almodovar, Mikael Wiehe, Arja Saijonmaa, Maj-Britt Theorin are just some of the people around the world who supports The World March for Peace. Naturally, I support it 100 percent and will join the march in Stockholm the 29th of October. See you in there?

Us, you will not see in the march but you will see us by videolink during The World March for Peace rallies!

And do not forget to join the Dance Festival we are hosting form our beds. Fill out the form to the right, or join the group 13 Days Dance Festival in 6 days for Peace on Facebook!

Cool.

We are also proud to present a new sponsor! Coffee issue is solved!
We are mad proud to present Gärdets Coffee Bar as sponsor of the coffee side of things during our Bed-in! Heja, Per! Heja, Emmelie!

PEACE!

Kulturama are cool

So today we went to Kulturama and spoke with the classes Dans 1 and 2. Awesome, they seem like real smart people and we really enjoyed talking to them.

They have a theme-week next week about Performance Art. So we spoke some about that, about who we are and about our Bed-in. It'd be really kewl if they signed up for the 13 Days Dance Festival as well. I think they will!

So that's about it. Tomorrow it is back to crunching those choreographies (5 to go) and we will meet up with an excellent designer that wants to help us out with what to wear. Not what NOT to wear. We like it positive. Anyways, meeting her will be awesome and we are psyched about it.

Yes.

UPDATE 8 Oct: 13 Days Dance Festival in 6 days!

Ok, så now we are well beyond the 100 mark... counting at what rate the people coming in we will have over 200 come Saturday. It is looking to be truly amazing. Thanks all!

Further I am happy to report that the work with the choreographies for "Dance Piece for Peace I-VII" are coming along frickn' fantastic. Whoot!

We have a few kinks considering a few things pertaining our room but hope to solve them ASAP. We should all learn to speak lingo...

UPDATE - 5 Oct: 13 Days Peace Dance Festival in 6 days

This is important! As a lot of people are wondering about the "Dance" in the Dance Festival. We will clarify this once and for all!

Anyone can participate in the Dance Festival. You do not have to be a dancer to participate. Do not let the "Dance" in the festivities scare you off!
Dance is an extra turn before turning the corner, it is a smile too long before shaking hands, it is brushing your teeth with the wrong hand, or your feet.

We want all walks of life in the festival, all are invited.

You do NOT have to be a dancer, performer, actor, artist etc. YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU ARE. Ok? :)

Festival Doers!

We present the present 13 Days Dance Festival for Peace doers (no pun intended)!
You can now find them in the nifty cloud to the right!
Make sure to add your name!

Oh, the exclamations. Peace!

Press conference and The World March takes off

Yesterday, the 2nd of Oct The World March started from Wellington, New Zealand.

They've been on the road for one day now and we are psyched to welcome them to Sweden come the 29th of Oct.

Yesterday we also participated in the press conference held by the The World March co-ordinator in Sweden. Andrea did a awesome job in relaying what we are up to that among other things includes:

• 7 days in bed for peace at Clarion hotel Södermalm, Stockholm

• 12hrs a day live video-streaming on the Internet of the event.

• Hosting of Yoko's 13 Days Dance Festival for Peace from our beds

• Hosting of a Mass Bed-in the 29th of Oct from our beds

• Each day a new Dance Piece for Peace

• Theme days starting with "Opening Day", what else?

There will be a lot more going on during the week but it is a good idea to make a long lists short on a blog. Or so they tell me.

What we missed out on yesterday was Perfect Performance Inspirational shock taking place over at Dansens Hus. We were told it was a very cool event. Sad I missed it but some has to work. Really!

Peace!

Update: 13 Days Dance Festival in 6 days is growing

Every day new participants sign up for the festival. We are psyched about the whole endeavor and hope the steady stream of new participants will never stop! :)

If you missed it you can sign up to the right.

So, right now I am sitting at Mellqvist Söder. Just had to mention it since Hedvig working here promised to sign up for the festival, very cool. Lollo as well - so there the woman with so much cred she scares ppl now officially is a part of the 13 Days Dance Festival for Peace!

Here they are!

Oh, and you can find a picture of us over at Perfect Performance!

Peace!
