A Beat for Peace by Lunch Beat Sthlm

In June this year, some of the people working with Lunch Beat in Stockholm, Sweden, gathered in a workshop to discuss future possibilities of Lunch Beat. Now a first dancing step for exploring a new dimension of Lunch Beat is being taken.

On September 21st, also known as the International Day of Peace, Lunch Beat Stockholm is proud to present an event made in collaboration with Svenska Freds and Falling Whistles. Two non-profit organizations that spend every day working for global peace – a cause we want to acknowledge and support.

We ask ourselves and our beloved friends what keep showing up at the events; Is this the first step in making Lunch Beat a global tool for doing good? We really don’t know – but what we love for sure is the idea of being able to dance and contributing to a better tomorrow at the same time, even if it is just might be one day at the time. So let’s start with September 21st by dancing our asses of for peace, taking a higher entrance fee than we use to, and there by be able to donate all eventual revenue to our two partner organizations.

So be sure we count on you now; If you any where even close to Stockholm on Friday – come dance with us for peace!

What: Lunch Beat for Peace – A Beat For Peace

When: 12-13 Friday 21st of September

Cost: 150SEK

Lunch Beat LIC hits NYC with Ceiling Art & Vegan Korean

DJ Shakey stands behind the beats at Lunch Beat LIC
DJ Shakey stands behind the beats at Lunch Beat LIC

Tomorrow Lunch Beat LIC opens up for New Yorkers working in Queens. Sarah Reynolds, who first got to know about Lunch Beat thanks to an article in Slate, is the women behind the US start up;

Hey Sarah, how are you?

”I’m lovely! And incredibly thrilled to be part of the Lunch Beat movement!”

Why do you take the initiative to start Lunch Beat in Queens, NYC?

”One of my greatest passions in life is to go dancing, and when I read about Lunch Beat it captured my heart, mind and soul. I was volunteering with an artspace called Uncanny Valley, just one block from an office tower where tens of thousands of office workers (the Citibank building in LIC Queens) flood in and out every work day, and it just clicked into place in my mind. I know several DJ’s and have a lot of connections from living over 10 years in NYC, so the time just felt right to put it all together and make something happen. I talked to Craig Flanigan, who co-runs the space with his wife Normandy Sherwood, and said ”we have to do this!”. He agreed.”

Together they have sure designed a really impressive event; The first Lunch Beat LIC will feature a multimedia art installation on the ceiling above the dance floor, provided by the mysterious duo known as ’Patriots’ who have spent many a lunch hour crafting this work while at their jobs in the Exhibitions Department of the American Museum of Natural History. Sound is provided by Julie Covello, a.k.a. DJ Shakey, who is one of the top 15 event DJ’s in New York according to Sarah. And last but not least, food will be served by the 2011 Vendy Award-winning food truck The Cinnamon Snail offering  their signature vegan, organic Korean BBQ seitan sandwich.

Do you have any advice to others who want to start Lunch Beat in the US?

”I think that the best advice for people wanting to start Lunch Beat in the U.S. specifically, is to start small and try to grow the movement without expecting to recreate the level of success that the event has grown to in Europe. It will need to start organically here too. Without any buzz yet from a successful event here (and we hope to change that soon!), it seems like it may be somewhat difficult to garner the resources–in our very profit-driven American culture–for a successful nonprofit event. But I can’t wait to see what happens!”

The Tribe Becomes One

The Lunch Beat movement was born in Sweden no more then two years ago, in a garage located in the central parts of Stockholm city. On an ordinary weekday, fourteen people danced together during their lunch break and loved it. Since then Lunch Beat has spread organically all across the globe, engaging thousands of participants, by simply offering them a unique and quite different, co-creative lunch experience.

On May 31st the Lunch Beat movement is happy to welcome participants from approx. 15 cities all over Europe to be a part of the most massive Lunch Beat session ever experienced.

The simultaneous events will all be digitally live streamed with Bambuser to this  webpage www.lunchbeat.org open for anyone to watch. Furthermore each and every club will be able to pick and choose which of the streams to project on their own walls.

Together we will create a simultaneous dance floor and a new real time experience of how the language of dance unifies people no matter physical location.

The Swede Beat story

A few years back Vanessa sent an email from her hometown in Florida to Lydia, the Swedish/American founder living in New York,  expressing her interest in Swedish culture and The Swede Beat. Lydia’s reply was never delivered due to failing mail servers and the conversation went on 2 years break. In 2011 Vanessa gave it another shot and this time Lydia and Vanessa started an email exchange that finally resulted in Vanessa being one of The Swede Beat’s Stockholm contributors. During this time Vanessa moved from Florida to Stockholm via Barcelona. During Lydia’s latest Stockholm visit in May 2011 they sat down for fika together with The Swede Beat’s creative director Carolina Krupinska to brainstorm ideas and concepts for the creative venture we like to call The Swede Beat.

Founded in 2009 by Lydia Kellam The Swede Beat is showcasing the latest in Swedish indie music, fashion, art and culture. The creative team of The Swede Beat consist of writers in Stockholm, New York and Berlin giving the project it’s vital edge. We connect you to the new faces of Sweden through our online magazine,  monthly club nights in New York, collaborations, projects and more. So far we done events and collaborated with Korallreven, Miike Snow, Kornel Kovacs, Taken By Trees, Jenny Mortsell, El Perro Del Mar to name a few and been mentioned in CNN, Sveriges Radio (P3 Morgonpasset, P3 Pop, P3 Plane), Dagens Nyheter, Lonely Planet and Blackbook Magazine.
