You love to DJ but don’t have your own equipment, your neighbors are annoyed by every noise or you just want to know what it’s like to DJ in a club atmosphere?
The Frauenmusikzentum in cooperation with SLOT offers an open space workshop every second Tuesday of the month for aspiring FLINTA DJs to deepen your skills, creative and technical exchange without mansplaining. Let yourself be inspired by other participants and give free rein to your creative power.
You should already be familiar with DJing, as the Open Space offer is not a substitute for a workshop.
Since the offer is associated with personnel costs and other costs, we ask for a donation.

Always the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 7 pm at SLOT (Zeiseweg/corner of Bodenstedtstr.)
Against donation

The workshops and the session stage are open to all FLINTA people, not just f*mz members.
All genders are welcome in the audience for the sessions.
Please be sure to spread the word – the more people take part, the better it’ll be. It’s all about networking, making music together and breathing even more life into the f*mz concept.

Beat It! - Groovy Music Made with Everyday Objects with Annette Kayser
2026-11-22 11:00 - 16:00 | Frauenmusikzentrum, Große Brunnenstr. 63A, Hamburg, 22763
You’re sitting at the table, and suddenly—click-clack—your pen becomes a percussion instrument, and the paper becomes a sound source!
Or your to-go cup turns into a mini drum, and together with the sounds of your hands, it creates an irresistible groove!?
Breakfast boards, plastic bottles and buckets, tabletops, wooden spoons, and more are great sources of sound—and they’re practically always within reach.
And when you add body percussion and our voices to the mix, it turns into some really lovely, polyphonic music!
So what could be better on a Sunday in November?
