Eine Gruppe von Menschen steht in einem hellen Raum und singt, klatscht oder bewegt sich rhythmisch. Im Zentrum steht eine Person mit hellblondem, kurzem Haar, die mit geschlossenen Augen und erhobenen Händen voller Ausdruck singt oder tönt. Die Menschen um sie herum lächeln, singen mit oder machen rhythmische Gesten. Links unten ist das Logo des „Body Rhythm Festival Hamburg 2018“ zu sehen. Die Stimmung wirkt lebendig, frei und gemeinschaftlich.

How can I register for workshops?

On each day of the festival, lists for the individual workshops will be posted in the morning before the workshops begin. You can sign up here so that we can get an overview of the group sizes. Most workshops will be offered several times throughout the day.

Which level suits me? Do I need body music experience?

By dividing the course into two levels, we want to help you assess the level of difficulty. You choose what you feel confident doing and which areas you want to challenge yourself in. Here you can experiment and discover.

Am I too young or too old? Or too something else?

People of all ages and backgrounds come together at the festival. Participation in workshops is open to anyone aged 16 and above. Children aged 8 and above are also welcome to attend taster workshops. Our performances are open to everyone.
