We look at the history of hip-hop and the creation of music videos, examining special features and motifs. The aim is to shoot your own music videos, either individually or in groups. We introduce different filmic approaches, provide materials and offer assistance. We also give an introduction to camera and editing.

The workshop is practice-oriented and open to all approaches and ideas, in the spirit of intercultural openness.

We look forward to the group and the exchange!

You want to write a hip-hop lyric? You want to write lyrics because you have something to say, because something is bothering you, because you have things inside you that you want to tell the world, but you don't know how or whether you can do it? You can!

You can write a good hip-hop text, a poem, a prose text that has rhythm, that works when performed. Because that's the kind of text we're talking about here. Rhythmic texts.

But if you then realize that this is not your kind of text at all, that you tell a different story, slower, more flowing, then that's OK too, because this workshop is an experiment, a work with you. It's about you, your language, your sound and your themes.

In the course of this workshop, we'll look at hip-hop and other rhythmic lyrics, see how and why they work for us or not. We'll write our own lyrics, try out different forms, discuss it all and get better at it. You get better.

This is all a journey, an experiment. If you have the confidence and can withstand criticism, are prepared to deal with other texts, are keen to write, then it works. I'm not a teacher, we're not a school, we want to have fun, but still do something good, learn something, get ahead.

It's not about how others write and speak, but how you write and speak. We complement each other and learn from each other because we are different and can do different things. Different origins, different imprints, bring different forms of language and expression to the course and weave them into something new and interesting.

At the end, you know what you want, what you can already do, maybe you'll present your favorite text that you like yourself in a slightly larger group (in a final presentation?) If you want. Otherwise not. Otherwise you might be writing lyrics for Kendrick Lamar or Missy Elliot next year. They'll pay you a million for it. For sure!
