CrimeJazz Masterclass

Step on stage! CrimeJazz, in association with  Hiphophuis (Rotterdam) and Nowhere (Amsterdam) offer the possibility to attend masterclasses given by different international poets, writers and MC´s. In addition, these artists perform on the CrimeJazz events.

Anyone can participate in theses workshops. British and American performing artists will teach you the ´ins and outs´ of creative writing and performing skills with which they successfully entertain on an international level.
