The workshop program (Elevate Lab) of this year's Elevate festival offers as much variety as the festival itself. Interested people have the possibility of submerging themselves actively in the world of contemporary music and art. Next to the Ableton-Live Producing workshops, that have become a fixed program point in the Elevate Lab during the last years and will be held this year by DJ and producer Piece of Sh..., this year there will be workshops for children for the first time: the Kids-Patch-Lab. As a part of the program, organized by Nana Radenkovic and Kate Lesta, the Elevate's young guests can also act out their creative potential and make themselves familiar with new techniques and forms of expression in the areas of music and visual art. In addition, in the “Offshore Frequencies ”, Chris Hessle offers the possibility of critical confrontation with the subject of radio in the 21. century. In the “Elevate Music Talks”, presented by Heinz Reich, visitors and artists can exchange information about their personal approach to music production and reception. This year's visual part of the Lab with Incredible Bob gives an insight into the technique of AV-Feedback for the production of visuals.

As the number of participants is limited, it is absolutely necessary to register online for the workshops. Let's create!
