Dear ravers, for our first SWEAT edition at DAS, we invite you to celebrate that each and everyone of us are an essential part of an ever growing organism creating these special utopian queer spaces of dancefloor healing!

LINE UP:

❦ Raving intention circle from 23.00 to 23:45 open to all [More info below]

As timeless musician Björk reminds us in her latest album, "hope is a muscle that allows us to connect". Thinking of ourselves as part of an ever growing and porous living organism, we believe that meeting with each other in suspended times of celebration, exploration and utopian dreaming can be an intentional way to create alternative realities that mirror and heal us.

We are thrilled to welcome legendary Aerea Negrot to join our residents behind the decks! Her multifaceted creations have been an inspiration for queers around the world since her first performances in 1999. Expect genre bending, uplifting, sexy and euphoric vibes all night! And to make things even more exciting, we asked drag king Zaddy Salem to bless us with a surprise patriarchy hex performance! Are you excited? We sure are & we really hope that you come dream with us ♡

RAVING INTENTION CIRCLE 23:00 - 23:45 (Open to all)
To reflect the theme of this party, we thought of trying a new little something. We will open the doors at 23:00 for the ones that want to join a rave intention circle facilitated by our vibe fairy Aimé before the music starts.Come on time as we will close the doors again 23:15 to start the intention circle.

We have been hosting DIY queer raves in Copenhagen and Malmö since 2014, and after enjoying our residency at Ved Siden Af, we are excited to host our first party in the newly opened Den Anden Side.

T-faggots, fairies, futches, baby queers, trans femmes, zaddies, and in-betweens to the front! Come as you are, dress up to match our utopian theme or drag it up all the way - if you’re here to dance, dream, sweat and have fun, you’re welcome!

This requires work and constant learning. You can help us by being mindful of your own behavior and of the people around you - let’s take care of each other.

- BIPOC, trans* & non-binary people to the front
- Do not assume people’s gender and pronouns
- Make sure to ask for consent, no always means no
- Do not stare too long or follow people around
- The dance floor is for dancing - no phones
- Set intentions for the night - we create the space together
- Be mindful of your consumption and ask for help if you’re not feeling good
- Protect your hearing
- Stay hydrated

ACCESSIBILITY
DAS is a basement venue and not wheelchair accessible. Some toilet stalls are assigned for sitting down only. The music will be loud and there will be fog from the smoke machine and flashing lights and strobe lights. The venue is one big room with alcoves and different levels and steps. There is no completely quiet area inside. There are lots of sitting spots around. There is a small area outdoors in front of the club if you need a bit of quiet and a breather. Smoking indoors is only allowed in the smoking room. Please contact us before the event if you need extra assistance during the night and we will see how we can help.

AWARENESS W/ DAS’s SAFER SPACE AMBASSADORS
The DAS Safer Space ambassadors will be present all night. You can recognise them by their shirts that say “SAFER SPACE”. They are professionals trained to deal with sensitive and urgent situations of any kind. Please do not hesitate to contact them if you feel uncomfortable for any reason. Your feeling of safety and well-being is our highest priority and no issue is too small for us to take seriously. If the experience is real to you, it is real to us.

DEN ANDEN SIDE’S GUIDELINES

SAFER SPACE
We strive to make Den Anden Side a Safer Space. When you enter our space, you agree to being completely in sync with our rules and values. Please familiarize yourself with our house rules before entering the club, and reflect on whether you can support and follow them.
We do not accept any discrimination, exclusion, harassment, or physical or verbal or violence. This includes queerphobia, sexism, racism, ableism, body shaming, bullying, intimidation, sexual misconduct, transphobia and more.

DOOR SELECTION
Den Anden Side is queer at heart, and so are our values. Every night, we facilitate a safer space and place of belonging for marginalized people and the LGBTQIA+ community. If you are not part of these communities, please be extra mindful of how you take up space. We always balance the crowd to create the vibe we want, so we reserve the right to reject people at the door without explanation.

AWARENESS TEAM
Our awareness team is present at the club every weekend. You can recognise them by their shirts that say “SAFER SPACE”. They are professionals trained to deal with sensitive and urgent situations of any kind. Please do not hesitate to contact them if you feel uncomfortable for any reason. Your feeling of safety and well-being is our highest priority and no issue is too small for us to take seriously. If the experience is real to you, it is real to us.

CONSENT
Consent is the foundation of interaction in our space. Whether it’s conversation, dance, physical contact, consumption or sexual activities — we expect everyone to ensure that it’s happening with consent and respect for your own and others’ boundaries.

SUBSTANCES
If you cannot take care of yourself, you are making the space less safe. We need you to be just as mindful of your own safety as you are of your fellow dancers’. If you feel unwell or are worried about another guest, don’t hesitate to contact our awareness team.

NO PHOTOS AND NO PHONES
Den Anden Side is a place for freedom of expression without the all-seeing eye of social media. Therefore, photos and videos are not allowed inside our space. Please refrain from using your phone on the dance floor. We created the dance floor for dancing.

RESPECT FOR OUR SURROUNDINGS
Please show respect to the Palads building and the area around it. Do not leave any empty bottles or trash in the area or do any form of vandalism to the building or the surroundings. We also ask everyone not to hang around the area after the club closes, as we want to maintain a good relationship with the cinema and not disturb their guests.

▬

We welcome all sexualities.
We welcome all ethnicities.
We welcome all genders.

All we ask is that you respect your fellow dancer and enjoy RIGHT NOW.
