Femme Beat DJ School by Embassy of Sweden

18 and 19 Apr 2015
Hanoi Rock City

From Swedish Embassy:

Are you interested in music? Would you like learn the art of DJ-ing and be part of building a network of female music professionals in Hanoi?

Some years ago Lina Thomsgård started a DJ-course in Stockholm, Sweden. The reason was the lack of female DJ’s at clubs in Sweden and the idea among club owners in Stockholm that there were no good female DJ’s. The project was a huge success and became the start of a now more than 60 000 women strong network for female professionals – Equalisters. Now we are taking this idea to Hanoi. Would you like to be a part of our exclusive group of eight women for a two day DJ-course and networking?

The program in short:

18 April (10:00 – 18:00): Swedish Female DJ’s will give classes in DJ-ing
Practice your DJ-ing skills and participate in a round table meeting with leading women
in culture on how to build a network of professionals.
19 April (10:00 – 24:00): Lectures, practising and live performance at HRC. You will have the opportunity to DJ along with established DJ’s before a live audience.

For whom: Vietnamese women interested in music and in building a network of female professionals in Hanoi. We don’t require any prior knowledge of DJ-ing, what we want is that you are driven to learn and to help building the network. You have to be over 20 years old to participate.

What to bring: We want you to bring minimum 20 songs or beats you like as something we can work with and we will provide the rest!

When: 18-19 April at Hanoi Rock City, 27/52 To Ngoc Van, Tay Ho
