Malin Backström fra Stockholm kommer tilbake til Oslo for et nytt helgekurs med fokus på kommunikasjon, samspill, musikalitet og en teknikk som gjør tangoen mer holdbar og nytelsesfull.

Malin bygger opp kurset fra grunnen av, slik at alle kan henge med – uansett forkunnskaper – og sørger samtidig for at hver deltaker får noe å jobbe med på sitt nivå.

Vi bytter roller og partnere kontinuerlig.

👉 Kurset passer for alle nivåer fra lett øvet til mer erfarne, men ikke helt rene nybegynnere.

⏰ Tidspunkter:

📌 Lørdag: 11.00–13.00 14.00–15.30 (mulig ekstra 30 min praktika)

📌 Søndag: 12.00–13.30 14.30–16.00

📍 Sted: Mariboes gate 13, 1. etg.

✨ Bonus for helgen i Oslo:

– Samme helg arrangerer Oslo Tango Gallamilonga på Sentralen, med legenden Milena Plebs. Perfekt for deg som vil få med deg både kurs og sosial dans i løpet av helgen!

– Eller dra på konsert i Grønland kirke lørdag kveld, hør «Misa Tango» av Martín Palmeri med 100 korsangere, solist og musikere. Musikken er blant annet inspirert av Astor Piazzollas tangokomposisjoner.

On its 10th
anniversary, Existenz Forlag (NOR) will publish a Norwegian
translation of McKenzie Wark’s visionary book, Molecular Red: A Theory for the
Anthropocene (2015).
As a preamble, we invite you to revisit this classic of contemporary theory
with the author, exploring it within the wider context of her work, including
conceptual critiques such as A Hacker Manifesto (2004) and Gamer Theory (2007).
A revival of half-forgotten Soviet thinkers like Platonov and Bogdanov, Molecular
Red is truly what the latter would call a ‘Science of the Future’,
including lost futures and futures to be revived in radical and Martian red
science fiction—as well as in a very real politics for a perturbed Planetary
Age.
Celebrated by critical theorists like Žižek and Haraway, as well as by the
Californian climate fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson, Molecular
Red opens up a vista for rethinking the Anthropocene in the light of
the possible futures of our recent past. As Wark revisits her seminal book and
the questions of utopias and dystopias and their role in culture wars, she will
also discuss it in the context of recent writings and world events in
conversation with Remi Nilsen (NOR), Editor-in-Chief of Le
Monde diplomatique.

Introduction by
Karmaklubb* and Lars
Holm-Hansen, Existenz
Forlag.

Since 2018, Karmaklubb*
has organized several international discursive events, screenings, artist
presentations, facilitated artistic and theoretical research as well as
published texts focusing on spaces—physically, virtual, hybrid—that allows
senses of freedom; where hierarchies dissolve and categories vanish, for
something else to form. There are many keys: Art can be one, clubbing too, or
writing. Our first
encounter was
with American artist Tony Cokes’ video work Mikrohaus, or the black
atlantic? (2018), while one of the most recent outcomes: a week-long festival with Australian
thinker and writer McKenzie Wark, taking place at Trekanten, Det Norske
Teatret, and MUNCH, followed by a celebration at Black Box teater, Oslo.

We want to warmly welcome
you to this afternoon session of thought and pleasure with McKenzie Wark. The
agenda: A dive into Raving (Duke University Press, 2023)
and the recently published Deserters’ Dance (Karmaklubb*, PRAKSIS, and
Dilettante Army, 2024) that reflects further on raves as spaces of resilience
and transcendence.

About Raving:
“What is an art of life for what feels like the end of a world? In Raving
McKenzie Wark takes readers into the undisclosed locations of New York’s
thriving underground queer and trans rave scene. Techno, first and always a
Black music, invites fresh sonic and temporal possibilities for this era of
diminishing futures. Raving to techno is an art and a technique at which queer
and trans bodies might be particularly adept but which is for anyone who lets
the beat seduce them. Extending the rave’s sensations, situations, fog, lasers,
drugs, and pounding sound systems onto the page, Wark invokes a trans practice
of raving as a timely aesthetic for dancing in the ruins of this collapsing
capital.”

This event is in sweet
collaboration with artists duo ONLY SLIME and Det Norske Teatret. Introduction
by Karmaklubb* and ONLY SLIME. Time: 16:00–17:30 (sharp).

FREE! Language:
English. Location: Det Norske Teatret, Bikuben (‘the beehive’), Kristian IVs
gate 8.
