Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

MY OWN DANCE

This VHS course combines somatic practice, biomechanical knowledge and artistic exploration. The focus is on the spine as the body’s supporting and moving axis. Elements from contemporary dance, Axis Syllabus and Tai Chi enhance awareness, coordination, stability and flexibility, and open up new approaches to movement and expression. Improvisation, choreographic approaches and collaborative dialogue culminate in a final performance.

No prior knowledge required | Please wear comfortable sportswear | Registration is ONLY available via VHS Hamburg:www.vhs-hamburg.de

NALENA DOSS »EP-RELEASE & LIVE PREMIERE«

For over 14 years, Nalena Doss has navigated between studios, stages, and creative spaces—lending her voice to commercials and series, working as a backing vocalist, and providing musical accompaniment for other artists. Now, she shifts the focus to her own music, bringing her songs to the stage live at Birdland Hamburg.

Her sound: an urban, summery, vintage vibe infused with a tropical longing for the origins of our existence—like an echo from the past that resonates even within the fast-paced rhythm of a big city. Warm soul meets jazz-inflected pop and organic grooves; the sound is nostalgic, yet firmly forward-looking. Guided by her mantra, "Let love be bigger than fear," Nalena explores themes of courage, self-efficacy, and genuine connection.

Her songs speak of hesitation and new beginnings, of internal resistance and letting go—and that is exactly how her EP feels: versatile, groovy, and full of delightful surprises, enhanced by musical collaborators from Hamburg who will join her on stage.

She will be accompanied by her live band: Julian Neumann (guitar), Phillip Kwaku (drums), Fabio Niehaus (keys), and Björn Kröger (bass). The evening will open with a performance by Osono, a Munich-based act known for their German-language soul-pop.

This release concert at Birdland is more than just a premiere; it is a personal moment of stepping into the spotlight—an evening that invites you to see reflections of yourself, whether in the doubts, the courage, or perhaps the realization that "someday" might just be right now.

Nationwide climate strike 13.11. – Fridays for Future protest

Forest fires, water shortages, record numbers of heat deaths. The climate crisis can no longer be overlooked in Germany, even german chancellor Friedrich Merz has noticed this. Nevertheless, the Federal Government sees no reason to change its policy. Germany as a pioneer in climate protection could move a lot and thus become a global role model. Especially in view of the UN climate conference COP31 in November, it is important that the federal government takes this responsibility seriously and works constructively on solutions to the climate crisis. Moreover, as a major polluter, Germany must finally live up to its responsibilities towards countries in the Global South that have contributed the least to the climate crisis and suffer the most from it.

On November 13th, we're going to protest in all of Germany and exert pressure on Merz and his government, because this summer has once again shown:

The climate crisis is not only an issue of the future for Europe either, its consequences are already devastating and will only get worse, especially without swift action!

(More information (arrival, accessibility, schedule, ...) will be announced shortly before the protest on social media and on our website.)
