Kinder-Kiez-Slam. Der Poetry-Slam-Workshop für Kinder von 8 bis 12 Jahren

In the organizer's words:

Can buzzwords box? How do you pack a suitcase word? How does a love poem sound in Denglish? Can words stumble or play hide-and-seek?

In the poetry slam workshop, language artist Bas Böttcher provides insights into his sentence construction kit. He will show you how to use text tricks to invent your own short pieces and turn ideas into reality. Poetry slam is the art of inspiring, captivating and surprising an audience with words. We bring your idea to the text and onto the stage at high speed! Fun and creativity are more important than perfection.

The workshop is aimed at children between the ages of 8 and 12. Anyone interested in music lyrics, theater or fantasy stories is in good hands in the poetry slam workshop. If you feel like it, you can even present your freshly written poetry slam piece on July 1, 2024 in the morning at the big children's neighborhood slam at the Humboldt Forum.

The workshop lasts one hour.

Starting times:

14:00

3:00 p.m.

4:00 p.m.
