CIRCUIT BENDING is the technical manipulation of low voltage devices to create musical instruments or experimental sound generators. With free style and random bases. NOISE makers!
The technique consists of connecting and modifying various electronic components in a device to remount them to sound experiments. The term Circuit Bending was coined by Reed Ghazala in the 60s, one of the pioneers of this technology. Sure there were more who did the same, but not named ….
The workshop consists of a shorter theoretical review of what Circuit Bending is and the materials needed and a practical exercise.

18:00-19:00 (in venue) Fire Fakirism for Beginners / Fakir & Eld 101 (workshop, ENG/SWE)

Ever dreamt of running away with the circus? Here’s your chance! Or at least a chance to learn some skills that will be of use if you do. Come learn the basics of fire eating, fakirism, poi, staff and juggling, and of course the essentials of fire safety and knowledge of the tools of the trade. Workshop leader Yolanda has a decade worth of experience of getting paid for setting herself and things ablaze and living to tell the tale.
Note: If you plan on attending this workshop wear clothes made of nature materials like cotton, and bring a change of clothes for afterwards. This because nature materials are more resistant to fire than synthetics.
//
Drömmer du om en värld i lågor och revolutionen? Eller om att fly med en cirkus och sluka eld inför folkhavet? Eller kanske mest om Avatar och Fire Bending? Oavsett vilken kan du få lära dig grunderna i fakir och eldslukning samt i eldsäkerhet och bränslekunskap med den erfarna eldartisten Yolanda Bohm. Ingen garanti för revolution eller fire bending utlovas. Välkommen!
Observera: ta gärna med en överdel i bomull, typ gammal t-shirt, då bomull och andra naturmaterial är mer eldresistent än syntetiska material.

11:00-12:00 (online) Self-defense (workshop, ENG, with live-captioning)

Good things to know before the workshop
-This workshop can be triggering for some. Please make sure you are in a safe environment and let us know how we can help you if you are feeling triggered.
-It is really good if you can have a training partner with you. Please make sure this is a person you feel safe with.
-If you have striking or focus pads that is great, if not a lounge cushion will also work.
-Have comfortable flexible clothes on and some water handy.

This workshop is interactive and we encourage you to share your stories if you feel comfortable doing so. Your story may help someone in the room recognise red flag behaviour or even recover from their own trauma. We will be running through the 4 basic movements that we feel are essential for self defense:
-Palm heel
-Elbow
-Stomping kick
-Knee
And we will be talking about ‘red flag’ behaviour – with the intention that we can learn to recognise the lead up to violence so that we can hopefully avoid it. It is also important to understand that if you have been a victim of violence that whatever decisions you made at the time were the right ones, because you are here today, and, that when we are in a self defense situation survival is the primary goal.
Please feel free to contact us (jo[at]goodtogo.se) with any questions or queries you may have before or after the workshop.

With: Jo Hall (they/them) – self-defense instructor

★Book table★

With Drömsyskon Zine and Ottar and more. Ottar will provide copies of the latest issue “We’re Here” for festival-goers!

Drömsyskon is a Swedish/English zine and collaborative project between Rasmus Eo Clarke, Jon Ely Xiuming and the Swedish trans community. The queer- and trans community has this really beautiful way of being each others support. And maybe not everyone has access to this. So we wanted to create drömsyskon as a community space to uplift each other. To share our stories. To create family. To direct our narrative! Stories about trans people by trans people.

★Mind-Body Problem★
