Wir feiern gefühlte 20 Jahre Wasn & Wunderwaffel und ziemlich haargenau ungefähr in etwa Pi x Daumen 10 Jahre das Stricher-Duo der Danse Tragicomica im Crack Bellmer, dem musikalischen Rogacki am Technostrich. Wir feiern aber auch grob geschätzte 3000 Stunden gemeinsame Präsentation metadatenfreier rhythmischer Tonkunst und ko(s)mischem Gedudels für Wackelkandidat*innen und Hobbyepileptiker*innen, das Brechen von Erwartungshaltungen und tradierten Jockeyregeln, 504 Kubikmeter selbsterzeugten Tabakrauchs, 4 Bananenkisten, 12,25 Hektoliter Alkoholverbrauch, 4einhalb Liter Tränen, Schweiss und ein mal hat sogar jemand am Finger geblutet (an Platteninnenhülle geschnitten), dass wir immer noch stehen, trinken und hören können, aber ganz besonders ein halbes Jahrhundert Wunderwaffel! Und das sogar mit formidablen Gästen und Wegbegleitern! Und euch!

We're celebrating what feels like 20 years of Wasn & Wunderwaffel and roughly 10 years of the Danse Tragicomica hustler duo at Crack Bellmer, the musical Rogacki at the techno bar. But we are also celebrating roughly 3000 hours of joint presentation of metadata-free rhythmic sound art and co(s)mical droning for wobblers and amateur epileptics, the breaking of expectations and traditional jockey rules, 504 cubic meters of self-generated tobacco smoke, 12.25 hectoliters of alcohol consumption, 4 and a half liters of tears, sweat and once someone even bled from a finger (cut on the inner sleeve of a record), that we can still stand, drink and listen, but especially half a century of Wunderwaffle! And even with formidable guests and companions! And you!

♫ THE JAM CATS SESSION ♫
HEY, YOU COOL CATS!

The Jam Cats live session is a dancing jam session with a different opening band each time. It carries on the legacy of old jazz mingling live sessions and DJ sets.
We want everyone to have fun, dancers and musicians alike with a stage open for early Jazz, Swing, RnB, and other fun styles to dance to with a focus on Balboa since we are operating with Bellmer Balboa. However, we are a separate event and we often cross over between different sub-genres of jazz and swing.
The jam will be run by members of the Syncopation Society to ensure that the party flows, allowing everyone to dance,
or sit back and enjoy the music.
‍

DISCLAIMER FOR MUSICIANS
Coming to the JAM CATS grants you free entrance. Just keep in mind that this is a DANCE EVENT and it means being reactive and keeping your solos short and sweet.

If you'd like to play, please make it clear to one of the organisers, or to the band leader. Approach one of the musicians on stage to see when is a good time to step in. There's a piano on the stage with atmospheric amplification.
‍

CODE OF CONDUCT:
The official restrictions are lifted for now, but we still recommend doing a test before you come anyway.
It is our aim to create a safe, respectful and welcoming environment for everybody. Within the Syncopation Society, we are working to develop an anti-racist and feminist common ground. Through self-education, we are striving to recognise and stop racist, discriminatory, sexist and homophobic behaviour, as well as other forms of social injustice. We want to remove the barriers established by economic inequality. Important to us is also that the venue of the festival is accessible for people with all kinds of physical conditions.
We want to celebrate diversity in all its forms. We invite you to do the same. We seek to recognise unconscious bias and act against obvious or micro-aggressions of others. As we might not be aware of everything, please help us and let us know if you are missing essentials that you need to feel included and comfortable, or if you experience or witness an unpleasant situation. We are always available for you.

As a collective made up of musicians, DJs and dancers the Syncopation Society feels deeply that it is vital, not only to give recognition to the creators of the music we perform and dance to but to also acknowledge the world in which they lived and the struggles they faced, due to historical and structural racism. We aim to keep educating ourselves on Black heritage. Avoiding cultural appropriation requires an amount of reverence and acknowledgement of history and context. This challenge is important to us in many aspects of life.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

8-10:30pm: Smut Slam, in the old-fashioned way (with one short intermission)
10:30-whenever: stay for a little longer, we don't have to worry about neighbors here!

The Smut Slam features real-life, first-person sex stories from the audience, stories from guests and sometimes even celebrity judges, and also readings from THE FUCKBUCKET, a convenient and funnily named receptacle for all your anonymous questions and confessions!

IMPORTANT: Smut Slam is queer-friendly, kink- AND vanilla-friendly, fat-friendly, sex worker-friendly, virgin-friendly, polyamory-friendly, we're really, really friendly. We welcome people with all types and amounts of sexual experiences. We DO NOT welcome stories or fuckbuckets involving racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or any other kind of discrimination, or nonconsensual objectification or fetishization. All activities discussed must be CONSENSUAL.

SMUT SLAM is CREATED by Cameryn Moore, an award-winning playwright/performer, sex activist and educator, and former phone sex operator. When not performing, riding the train, or actually having sex herself, Cameryn writes Sidewalk Smut: custom type-written erotica as street performance and literary art.

WE PRACTICE SAFER SMUT! DO NOT ATTEND if you are feeling poorly! There will be more slams!
* ** We encourage mask use indoors. This remains one of the best ways to protect yourself against getting sick from COVID or any of the other airborne diseases going around.
*** Crack Bellmer has a government-certified machine that exchanges all the air in the room every 10-15 minutes. Included in that system is a HEPA filter.
*** TESTING NOTICE: Please bring photo of same-day negative test results, or come early to take a self-test at the door (for €1, thank you!). We will have Smutterlings on hand to assist. IF YOU TEST POSITIVE, we will have to send you home.
** As always, we are closely watching current COVID-19 rates, and as things change, one way or the other, we may loosen or tighten our pandemic protocols. We will never surprise you with changes, but tell you in advance, so you can make informed decisions. Smut Slam keeps both comfort and well-being in mind, for the community!

PLEASE NOTE: We have a strong Code of Conduct for everyone at a slam. We try very hard to run the event accordingly, and we want attendees to actually pay attention so you can help us create this safer space: https://docs.google.com/.../120FTNtC47HhNIEP91TXp.../edit...
