B-Conference

Public youthclubs are no longer the place where experienced b-boys pass-on theirknowledge to the next generation. With the at least partially ongoing professionalization within the breakdance and hip hop scene, a lack of of locations and consciousness, the natural, social and invaluable youth development work is no longer provided.

Pottporus wants to stop that trend and search for sustainable support strategies, through dialogue with some of the best and most experienced b-boys in europe.

Aim of the B-Conference is on the one hand to sensitize the scene for the topic of youth work and professionalization and on the other hand to work on concepts for the future and to earnestly involve politics and administration in the range of support for youth and fine arts.

close about us

About us

Pottporus since 2007, registered association based in Herne, North Rhine-Westphalia.

It's the umbrella for the Young Pottporus, the dance productions of Renegade, the annual autumn Pottporus festival and the Dance School.
Pottporus Association has the aim to promote sustainable creative young people, regardless of (artistic) origin and whether with or without (artistic) education, and to give them a perspective for their work. Through our own development and through the four areas of Pottporus young people have the opportunity to participate and to develop in artistic processes with professional support.

Pottporus takes on trends and developments in the areas of street art - word, dance, image, sound - , and combines them with traditional art forms. Through cooperation with various cultural institutions, this combination will be tested. Pottporus cooperates with different institutions and understands itself as a network of artists, by enabling the development of new ideas.
Pottporus is part of a society that is characterized by a cross-cultural and demographic change. To integrate the trends and impacts of these processes in the artistic work itself Pottporus expose with the reality of human life in the Ruhr. Pottporus redefiens always the own expectation of the own working methods and forms of artistic expression.

Thanks to all of those who have walked shorter or longer distances with us over the past years and have supported us financially and/or ideally. Many wonderful projects would not have been possible without the self-abandonment of a big, crazy and international bunch of artists and without the courage of our partners in politics, culture and administration. Thanks for your energy, your time and your patience. Thanks for your criticism, your sweat and your money. And, most importantly, thanks for believing in our idea.
