Answer 1

Oldenburger Slam Poetry

Poetry Slam is first a presentation form for literature, at a publicly accessible place authors with their(her) selfwritten texts line up in a contest mutually. Besides, the stage is open for all people(persons) who want to introduce themselves with a selfwritten text to a public. The idea of the contest appeared for the wish to make accessible the texts to the public by an appropriate presentation.

The contest takes place according to rules, in Oldenburg the authors have eight-minute time in which they report their(her) texts and are valued afterwards by five people(persons) from the public on a marks scale from 0-10. During the lecture no aids approximately like costumes are allowed. With a high number of subscribers in the contest three Bestplatzierten at the end still deliver a final. There the lecture time amounts to five minutes. At the end the whole public decides by applause who becomes a winner in this evening. From the Poetry Slam as a stage for young and self-willed authors own literature form has also appeared gradually. With it texts are believed which were written explicitly for the stage and the contest. Under the notion „Slam Poetry “ no fixable type is nevertheless found, here is to be thought from the conventional short story up to avangardistischen Dada's poem everything what can be presented in short time on the stage.

The Oldenburger Poetry Slam exists(consists) since 1999 and took place in different places. Everything has begun in the ConTakt in the Bloherfelder street. Then in 2000 the move took place in the jazz club Alluvium in Zeughausstrasse where he(it) took place till the end of March, 2003 regularly. Since the extract of the Alluviums from his(its) old remove the Poetry Slam has no more firm(fixed) homeland. In October, 2003 the Poetry Slam last up to now took place in the Indieclub metro in the long street. Next year it should go on at a new place. For 2004 the continuation regular Slams and readings as well as an anthology is planned to the five-year-old anniversary of the Poetry Slams.
With the Poetry Slam there appeared in the course of the time a lot of contacts with writer, organizers, musicians, DJs and other artists. So it came to various projects with other creative, Slammer have denied with musicians together concerts, have appeared on parties and have made themselves altogether in the public more visible. With it an important aim of the Poetry Slams is designated: literature should be made accessible to the people(persons), also the people(persons) who take charge perhaps rather rarely of a book. That's way the Slam Poetry searches the nearness to the youth, music and club culture. The Slamszene remains alive with it and is subjected therefore also to trends and developments. In the course of bigger interest in live reported literature similar event formats have appeared which orientate themselves by the trend of the a little bit other reading. Now and then the Slam has helped even the established advanced civilization to some swing, because also established authors have it now more difficultly to hold on with their(her) readings only in their(her) glass (if they did it then earlier, would be marked here for sportsmanship reasons).

In 2001 a row with readings from Oldenburger Slamumfeld appeared under the name poetry evening. The idea of the poetry evening was the continuation of the Slamkonzeptes towards of a longer reading from the subcultural context. How already at the top described, it was transferred so to some Slamkonzept to other events. However, besides, the subcultural content on the distance remained quite often. To fill this gap, the reading row „Poesieabend “ appeared. Other information to this event is to be thought under www.poesie-abend.de.

The Oldenburger Poetryszene has done a good name to itself within Germany. This happened, on the one hand, by guest's scenes from Slammern completely Germany in Oldenburg. Intense contacts with other Slamveranstaltern and guest's scenes of Oldenburger Slamautoren on German Slambühnen are decisive furthermore for the good reputation of Oldenburg in the German Slamszene.
