# We Went To Salon Mondaine For An Empowering Panel
Last night, 100 women gathered at Berlin's SoHo House to discuss "the
joys and pains of performance." The night's event, which was put on by
Salon Mondaine, opened with a singer-songwriter performance and an
introduction from host Yasmine Orth. She explained that Salon Mondaine
aspired to create "a community for modern women," particularly in the
music business. To foster a sense of camaraderie among the attendees,
she encouraged everyone to look under their chairs and grab bits of red
string, and to tie those bracelets around a stranger's wrist. It's a
nice way to say hello, and once the chatter died down, the panelists
took their places.
Panelists included Inga Humpe, one half of the German electro pop pair
2Raumwohnung, dancer Nikeata Thompson, FluxFM founder Mona Rübsamen (who
kindly tied a red thread to your correspondent's wrist during the
aforementioned salutary exercise), and tape.tv co-founder Stephanie
Renner. The women told stories from their careers as performers, shared
a few laughs---particularly Nikeata, who mentioned "booty-shaking" and
Beyoncé several times---and the challenges of success in the music
business.
