Workshop: Slam Poetry/kreatives Schreiben

Hamburg's queerfeminist stand-up comedy show goes on tour in October 2024 and celebrates its big final show at Kulturladen St. Georg - with an art-activist anti-discrimination day!

Free workshops on stand-up comedy, slam poetry, songwriting, improv/acting, drag styling/performance and awareness/non-violent communication will take place from 1 to 5 pm. Autobiographical experiences or observations are artistically processed and presented in the evening in the Smash Comedy Show (at 8 pm) in a funny way in the various genres. The workshop leaders are all comedians and at the same time affected by discrimination themselves, whether gay, non-binary, trans, single+queer or BiPoC, and use their art to transform the topics that concern them - and which are also socio-politically relevant. People who have had no previous contact with (queer) feminist issues and who want to actively open themselves up to new perspectives and art forms are also expressly invited to take part.

You can reserve your ticket for the workshop "Slam Poetry/Empowerment through creative writing" here!

Isa Bögershausen has been performing at poetry slams since 2022 and became Hamburg U20 city champion in the same year. Starting out in her adopted home of Hamburg, Isa now performs all over Germany and combines influences from rap and theater with political topics. In addition to her own performances and writing commissioned texts, she also hosts the U20 Slam Hamburg. Isa is somewhere between queer feminism and cold pizza for breakfast and combines her love of poetry with an expressive performance.

In the writing workshop, we will immerse ourselves in the world of the poetry slam. Isa will show you what creative self-expression in the form of texts is all about.

What is poetry slam? How do I start writing? Which style suits me? How do I find an idea? How do I structure a slam text? And which texts are suitable for a comedy show? There will be exercises on creative writing, as well as an introduction to performing on stage. At the end, you will go home with a first text or first text approaches and lots of inspiration and will be ready to perform on the next slam stage.

Be sure to bring a writing medium of your choice!
