Not just for dancers and not just from Sweden, The Swedish Dance History is a grassroots publication now in its 4th year (of a scheduled 20) with texts collected from around the globe. The Swedish Dance History is published without publisher, editorial team, proof readers or economical interest and is not attached to any venue, festival or state agency, but an attempt to conceive a book through strong democratic practices.

Join us in celebrating the release of the 4th edition of The Swedish Dance History – this yearʼs theme being science fiction – with an evening of live performance, video and discussion, from Manchester and international practitioners who submitted texts to this yearʼs book. Contributors range from live artists to sports therapists. During the evening there will be opportunities for networking and discussion between contributors and attendees. Copies of the journal will also be available. A Meeting State event.
