The line-up for the Rotterdam Stukafest\u00a0<\/a>was released last weekend. Ticket pre-sales have already begun. So what\u2019s on offer at this year\u2019s edition of Stukafest?<\/p>\n

\u2018We have selected a wide variety of acts, covering all genres,\u2019 said Vivian Kouwenberg, a Stukafest organiser. In other words, you\u2019ll be seeing and hearing all sorts of things at the festival, ranging from filmmakers to poets, and from rap to jazz. All performances will be given in student rooms in the Rotterdam city centre, thus creating an intimate atmosphere. There will be three sessions, so that you\u2019ll be able to check out several performers.<\/p>\n

Jazz<\/h2>

Several artists performing this year seem to have been influenced by jazz culture. For instance, you\u2019ll be able to listen to\u00a0Bruno Ferro Xavier de Silva<\/a>\u00a0and Collective Joop, two acts which both combine jazz with other genres. In addition, you\u2019ll be able to attend a charleston dancing workshop<\/a>\u00a0taught by Joost and Deirdre of Rotterdam\u2019s Swing in Rhythm dance studio.<\/p>\n

Poetry<\/h2>

Poetry is another staple of this year\u2019s festival. Both spoken-word poetry and traditional poems will be presented at the festival. Performing and visual artist Melanin Kris<\/a>\u00a0combines poetry, music and freestyle story-telling. As his name suggests, Versjes van Lars<\/a>\u00a0(a.k.a. Lars van der Werf, a Rotterdam-based fun poet and writer born in 1987) writes poems for his audience.<\/p>\n

Binge-watching<\/h2>

NNTWEE<\/a>\u00a0provides tips on \u2018binge-watching\u2019, which has become quite the phenomenon in the Netherlands ever since Netflix became available to Dutch viewers. If you really wish to do some binge-watching at Stukafest, consider attending\u00a0DZIGA<\/a>, a movie platform where filmmakers show highlights from their oeuvre.<\/p>\n

International <\/h2>

Not only Dutch artists will be strutting their stuff at the festival. Foreign artists will be heading to Rotterdam as well to fill up student rooms. Grisly Faye<\/a>\u00a0is a Ukrainian act performing \u2018urbanistic and sometimes paranoid music\u2019.\u00a0Nele Needs a Holiday<\/a>\u00a0is a Belgian act performing songs on everyday tragedies.\u00a0Moon Tapes<\/a>\u00a0is an internationally known Dutch band providing the festival with some indie sounds. German act\u00a0Ulas Aksunger<\/a>\u00a0plays several types of percussion instruments and incorporates various genres of music into his performances.<\/p>\n\n\t
