Poetry Slam

Word art on Hamburg's stages.

Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Hamburg stands for art and culture through and through. And over the years, poetry slams have gained a firm place in Hamburg's cultural programme. Those who want to see young lyrical talents have the opportunity to do so in Hamburg almost every week. The young poet scene meets here regularly on stage to compete and inspire the audience. And with the "artistic duels", the city even has its own unofficial championship. Here, you'll find an overview of current events and the most frequent venues.

    The home of the Poetry Slam in Hamburg.

    GET IT ON

    In August, the K3 Studios will come to life: as part of the international residency exchange, eight choreographers from around the world will spend a month in Hamburg working on their research projects. The participants include Anise (Hee Su Hui), Alicia Kano, Andrea Gómez, Carla Redlich, Ivana Balabanova, Stefania Tansini, Joseph Tebandeke and Xenia V. Koghilaki. They bring with them new perspectives, working methods and questions – transforming the studios into a hub for international exchange.

    With GET IT ON, we invite Hamburg-based dance professionals to get to know the artists, exchange ideas and forge initial artistic connections.

    GET IT ON is not a showcase, but a starting point. Two days of workshops, discussions and open-format sessions – for anyone keen to exchange ideas, gain new perspectives and make connections.

    The event is aimed at professional dance and theatre practitioners and is free of charge. Please register in advance at tanzplan@kampnagel.de
