Dave– is a unique festival for Club Culture in Dresden, which not only gives a deep inside look into Dresden’s subculture, but also gives the opportunity to be individually active and creative as well, even if you are a layperson (everybody is welcome).

The festival offers a huge variety of different events, not only including plenty of different partys in the nicest clubs in Dresden, but also Live Shows, Meet& Greets with local, national or international DJ’s and artists or Workshops like “Artist Booking”, “VJin”, “DJing”, “Film Sounds”, “Brazing Synthesizers”, “Live Looping”,  “Art of Sampling”and much more. The workshops are hold by professional artists and DJ’s themselves.

Workshops where you do not need to sign up in advance are usually free.

2ND EDITION: THE FIRST BRA IN THE WORLD

Did you know that Christine Hardt from Dresden applied for the first patent for a bra in the year 1899? She wanted to free woman from the corset, so she tied up some tissues and a men brace and voilá: “the first bra in the world” was invented! This bra was even adjustable. Back then the usual corset weighted around 5 kilogramme which was really not comfortable nor healthy (it caused unconsciousness, miscarriage and organ bruises). This new bra was worn above the shirt as old sketches show.

At nearly the same time (also in 1899)  Herminie Cadolle from France invented a similar more delicate bra. Till this point of time it is not quite sure who invented the bra first.

We know for sure that the idea to form and hold the womans breast was not new, woman also used leather tape for example to look more manly during sport competitions, like in the ancient Greece in Sparta.

Also the Romans invented some kind of sports wear for woman, which look pretty much like a bra already.
