Rap workshop: Creative self-expression

It was one of the results of the 2019 citizen survey as part of the city of Salzgitter's Kulturentwicklungsplan: rap is one of the most popular music genres of our time. Especially for young people, chanting has an enormous appeal.

From Monday, March 27 to Friday, March 31, anyone who not only wants to consume rap, but also produce it, will have the chance to learn and develop their rap and beat skills.
The workshop instructor is Andreas Bucklisch - musician, hip-hop activist, experienced workshop leader and founder of the "k-now-ledge project".

Following the successful rap project in the 2022 Easter vacations, the City of Salzgitter's specialist cultural services are once again organizing this five-day workshop in the Kulturscheune in cooperation with the "k-now-ledge" project.
Under the professional guidance of an experienced instructor, young people aged 16 and over have the opportunity to consciously engage with their environment, develop their first creative ideas, write lyrics, learn the basics of music and develop their (stage) presence. The course is suitable for both beginners and advanced students.
Using lyrics, flows and melodies they have developed themselves, the participants spend five days working towards a song recording in the recording studio or a music video shoot and a live performance.

"k-now-ledge" clearly distances itself from typical rap genre topics such as discrimination, glorification of drugs and violence and focuses on creative self-reflection and further development.

Participation is free of charge. Further information on the workshop and registration, as well as impressions of last year's workshop, can be found at www.salzgitter.de, at natalia.schmidtstadt.salzgitterde or by calling 05341 / 839-4130.
