Poetry Slam - Expressing language correctly
At a poetry slam, self-written literary texts on individual topics are performed in front of an audience. Profound poetry can be just one type of poetry slam. Anything is possible: from heart-wrenching stories to charming and witty storytelling with a comedy touch to rap lyrics.
Once again this year, we are offering a workshop on poetry slams in the run-up to the slam, where you can expect an exciting mix of different styles and moods, which are always linked to the individual type of presentation. With the help of the well-known slammer August Klar, you will have the opportunity to find your individual style and mood and, if you wish, to perform it on the poetry slam evening.
If you would like to perform a slam at the poetry slam evening, please register in advance at .
Workshops:
- 06.05. & 07.05. each from 6 to 9 pm
