Pop-Kultur Nachwuchs: Digital Nachwuchs Stage x ALEX Berlin and the Opening Talks

by
For the Nachwuchs programme, Pop-Kultur welcomes 250 young talents from Berlin and around the world to around 40 workshops and networking opportunities with artists from the Live programme along with bright minds from business, politics and the music industry. The Pop-Kultur Nachwuchs live stage at the Soda Salon has been a staple in the festival programme for years — and still is in our digital edition. Together with the crossmedia community platform ALEX Berlin, we’ve invited six selected participants of this year’s Nachwuchs programme to have their live performances professionally filmed. They will be premiered at the Digital Nachwuchs Stage. Featuring Ava Vegas, Brenda Blitz, Dumama & Kechou, Baal & Mortimer, Marlena Käthe and Dan.

 

Additionally, the opening talks of the Pop-Kultur Nachwuchs programme by Danielle de Picciotto on Wednesday and by The Düsseldorf Düsterboys on Thursday will be available in full on the Pop-Kultur Nachwuchs homepage as well as on our YouTube channel.

»Pop-Kultur Nachwuchs« 2018: Applications open on 25 April

Are you a young musician, producer, or DJ? Do you work in music management or booking, or run your own label? Are you looking to establish yourself as a video director, PR manager, or journalist?
If you already have some initial experience in these fields, apply now to »Pop-Kultur Nachwuchs«, a workshop programme run by the festival »Pop-Kultur« (15.-17.8.2018, Kulturbrauerei), which will take place for the fourth year in a row in Berlin — we have 250 spots available!

The workshops, talks, and lectures, which are given in either German or English by musicians and professionals from the national and international music industry, will be held on August 15th and 16th, 2018 in the Kulturbrauerei, followed by a new networking format on August 17th. The participants, who come to us from all over the world and are selected by a jury of experts, can choose between over 40 different courses.

How about a feminist rap workshop with Lady Bitch Ray? Or an intensive discussion with the producer Henrik Schwarz, who has been commissioned to write an elaborate piece for our parallel festival? Fascinated by New York underground legend Lydia Lunch? She’ll be giving a course about spoken word, the results of which will be presented on Friday in the festival’s main live programme! Want to pick the brain of Moses Schneider, the producer for Tocotronic and Beatsteaks? Or are you curious how iMusician can help you get your own music onto Spotify?

The workshops, talks, and lectures will provide inspiration, clarify urgent questions, and encourage you to continue making your way in the music business. Selected participants will also be able to present their music as part of the main evening programme on the »Pop-Kultur Nachwuchs« stage.

Participation in the »Pop-Kultur Nachwuchs« programme costs 40 Euros including drinks, lunch, and access to Pop-Kultur’s networking area for professionals.

The application phase begins on April 25th
at www.pop-kultur.berlin/sn20dc/nachwuchs
