In a world that tells you who to be, reminds you who you are.

Winne has been one of the most respected names in Dutch hip-hop since the mid-2000s, known for introspective lyrics about faith, doubt, friendship, and the weight of carrying a city on your back. His music tends to ask questions rather than answer them, which is exactly the kind of voice a SPARK Clubnight is built around.

Marian Markelo, known by her priestess name Nana Efua, is one of the Netherlands' most respected Winti priests and a guardian of Afro-Surinamese tradition who carries a centuries-old practice into the present. Through rituals, ancestral knowledge, and the libation she performs each year at the national slavery memorial in Amsterdam, she creates spaces where people can reconnect with where they come from: with nature, with their ancestors, and with one another.

Fleur Lefers is a Rotterdam-based entrepreneur, breathwork facilitator, and speaker who helps individuals and professionals manage stress and reconnect with themselves. Combining her background in business with her breathwork expertise, she teaches conscious breathing techniques through 1-on-1 sessions, workshops, and corporate training.

Lorenzo Nsumbi is a Rotterdam keyboardist and pianist who plays the kind of live keys that hold a room together. Rooted in jazz, soul and funk, he moves between delicate piano lines and warm, full keyboard textures, bringing an improviser's ear to whatever the moment asks for. At a SPARK Clubnight his playing is the thread that carries people from one part of the night to the next

Pim Roggeveen is a Rotterdam impact entrepreneur who co-founded WEAR, a company that cleans, restores and resells pre-loved sneakers and gives people who've been kept out of the job market a place to build their skills. He has spent years showing that a business can stay healthy and do real good at the same time, working with names like De Bijenkorf and earning recognition as social impact newcomer of the year. At a SPARK Clubnight he brings the question of what you actually want to build in the world, and what it takes to turn that into something real.

Amira al Rawi is a Rotterdam dancer and theatre maker who tells stories with her body that are hard to put into words. She came up through the city's street-dance scene and built her own language out of voguing, waacking, house and breakdance, graceful one moment and raw the next, and uses it to open up subjects most people keep quiet about. Her dancing is almost always improvised, led by whatever the room is feeling, which makes her a natural fit for the part of a SPARK Clubnight where things turn from sitting still to moving together.

Giorgi and Naomi make live sound journeys where music and movement meet, somewhere between a concert and a ritual. Giorgi is a multi-instrumentalist and producer, Naomi a holistic therapist and visual artist. Their sets move you out of your head and into your body, with room to feel, to move, or to just be there. At a SPARK Clubnight this is the moment the room drops in and settles into sound.

Jamilla Harmony plays as DJ JAMSY. She reads a dancefloor the way she reads a person, following the energy in the room rather than a fixed set. That makes her a natural fit for the part of a SPARK Clubnight where the room stops sitting still and starts moving together.

Paulo Lopes is a Rotterdam presenter and host who grew up in Delfshaven as the youngest child of Cape Verdean parents, and has spent years on stages from De Doelen to TEDx telling the stories that usually go unheard. He hosts dialogue platforms, podcasts and live events, and is known for reading a room and making the people in it feel seen, whether that's a theatre, a boardroom or a festival. At a SPARK Clubnight he's the host, the voice that holds the evening together and keeps the energy moving between everyone on the bill.

Yasmin Wilnis leads SPARK in Rotterdam, building the city's programme together with a local team of young Rotterdammers from different schools, neighbourhoods and walks of life. As event manager and a member of the IMAGINAL CELLS Youth Board, she's the one turning the idea of SPARK into actual nights, Clubhouses and a growing community in her own city. She's the reason the Clubnight in the Laurenskerk exists, and the person making sure it belongs to the people who show up.
