We B*Girlz Festival - August 2008 – Berlin

Supported by the “Hauptstadtkulturfonds” we will organize
one of the biggest festivals for women in Hip Hop so far,
a 4-week Festival with workshops, panel discussions,
film festival, exhibitions, battles, shows and concerts.

We B*Girlz wants to present a strong role model for adolescent
girls. Women play an important role in Hip Hop culture, but
are presented by the media mostly as scantily dressed background
dancers. We B*Girlz Productionz wants to show that women
mastered skills in all aspects of Hip Hop and have earned a place in
Hip Hop history. We will celebrate their creativity with a one month festival in
August 2008 in Berlin.

Our intention is to provide a platform for girls and young women from different nations and cultural backgrounds to make contacts, exchange ideas, and support each other. The We B*Girlz Festival will provide girls with the tools to be creative in the different aspects of Hip Hop and will also teach them how to document their own culture through workshops in video editing, photography, web design, a radio workshop etc.

Some of the offered workshops will be:
Breaking, Streetdance, Popping & Locking, NuStyle, Krumping, Graffiti, Beatboxing, DJing, MCing, Fashion, Video, Radio, Photo, Website, Studio Production, Yoga for Dancers, BMX workshop, and Skateboard workshop.

Beginners will be able to learn different ways of expressing themselves, advanced artists will be able to study further in master classes given by international artists, and the audience will be able to indulge in dance music and art.

Please keep checking our website, where you will shortly be able to sign up for the workshops and battles.
