Enter our darling first born: the Strawberry Jam. We were in for an unforgettable night filled with spontaneity and collaboration. That night we were setting the precedent of the Lotus Nova Jams, and it was significant for us that we had a mix of our old Lotus Nova friends that have been with us since the festival, and completely new faces to enjoy what we give.
We laid the scene and allowed the event to unfold with the help of our community.
Musicians, singers and rappers fused their skill and artistry together in the Nova Jam&Cypher, birthing a never-heard-before blend of sounds and energies in real time.
The enigmatic Live Act - the sexy grandpa collective took us on a sonic journey, unraveling the powerful stories that their music is infused with. We blurred the lines between audience and artist with an Improvised Game we played with the audience, where our host Tino Gee turned into a Basilisk suffering from phone addiction - you truly had to be there.
To top it all off, our Community Catwalk turned the room into a runway, where everyone got a chance to strut their fits. And Lotus Nova is a stylish community, so we sure saw some great outfits and extravagant walks!
The Strawberry Jam left us, and everyone who attended energised and full of excitement for the next one.
