The students (16-17 years old) were asked to create a one hour long playlist. 

”With music they wanted to dance to”

We did the preparation one week before the class.

The playlist looked like this, September 2014:

Say my name (feat Zyra) Odesza

Cut your teeth - kygo remix

All of me - John Legend

LOVE - Gina Dirawi

Pantamera - De Vet Du

Only Time - Enya

The lion`s roar - First aid kit

Mary had a little lamb (12-tone) – Vi Hart

Hometown glory - Adele

Laura - Errol Garner

Winterspell - Thomas Bergersen

Come on Eileen - Dexys midnight runners

Sweet disposition - The Temper Trap

Breezeblocks - alt-J

We danced for one hour.

We discussed duration.

We will continue by reading about Stina Nyberg's Techno Practice from the book "The Coming Boogie-Woggie" and look on her piece Orkestern on Vimeo. Stina´s practice is an example where you relate to the music in an other way than we did in this class. She talkes about "do" the music insted of dance "to" the music.  

(I´m thinking about something Ingo Diehl said on the first IDOCDE symposium: " When it´s documented, it´s already history". I´m thinking of the playlist as a small piece of history. One hour of music, selected by young people, dated September 2014, Stockholm, music to dance to)

*the class took place at the Royal Swedish Ballet School, Stockholm.
