Competencies

Music

We make music – with unusual instruments and objects. Everyone brings their music culture and individual abilities into the mix. But the main thing is to be involved: in our projects we find a role for everyone and develop their musical creativity.

  • Hip-Hop
  • Being a band
  • Instrumental improvisation
  • Garbage music
  • Mini-orchester

Visual Art

We do action art, or devise backgrounds for the musical shows with photos, films, and creative stage scenery. Depending on what is on offer, the participants have the chance to try their hand at a wide variety of visual arts:

  • Installations
  • Graffiti
  • Photography
  • Video
  • Painting
  • Handcraft

Performing Arts

And action! We work out original dance choreographies: this entails creative combinations of traditional and modern dance elements, theatre, poetry and what lives in the
locality. We also incorporate singers, musicians and drummers into our ideas for the show:

  • Dance
  • Theatre
  • Spoken word
  • Poetry slam
  • Stick-fighting

Event Management

What would a show be without technology that works, fundraising, catering or decoration? Students on a practical placement or job-shadowing get a chance to display and develop their organisational talents.

  • Storytelling
  • Marketing
  • New media

Personal Development

Hit the Beat seeks to develop the participants’ self-esteem, their ability to be at home in inter-cultural situations and their soft skills. We’re not looking to turn out perfect artists, but to meet the whole person in an authentically creative way. Thus we are constantly improving our standards and bringing out new talent.
