The time has come to wrap up 2018. We just finnished an eight year round of Nordic collaboration in the project Ice Hot. In 2010 me and Virve Sutinen promoted Ice Hot for the first time in a melting hot Adelaide at APAM that year. I do not think anyone could foresee the impact this collaboration beteen five countries would achieve. Stockholm Sweden 2010, Helsinki Finland 2012, Oslo Norway 2014, Copenhagen Denmark 2016 and Reykjavik Iceland 2018. MADE IN started in 2009 and has been part of all the Ice Hot platform meetings. We will continue to engage in this project also in the future. I would like to take the possibility to thank all our member artists, colleagues all over the world, subscibers and readers of the MADE IN Newsletter. Brilliant artists are more important to society than ever. We in the MADE IN team wishes all our friends around the world a Merry Christmas and a Happier New Year 2019!

ICE HOT NORDIC DANCE PLATFORM 2018
 -  Five fabolous days in Reykjavik!

 

“-The Reykjavík ICE HOT team is grateful for the strong positive response the platform received, via comments and social media. We are a small community and a very small team with limited resources. But we have a big heart and being able to pull ICE HOT off and making most of our guests and artists happy, is important to us. ICE HOT is and will continue to be one of the most important events of the global dance calendar. Stay tuned to where the next ICE HOT will take place – announcement to come in the new year!"
