We're meeting at Lebkov right inside the Utrecht Centraal station. We're typically sitting at the large table. Search for the folks with the laptops in the back!

Get ready for a night of questionable singing, sizzling grills, and unforgettable chaos in the heart of Utrecht! We’ll kick off the evening at [Duke of Tokyo Utrecht](https://dukeoftokyo.com/en), one of the city’s most iconic karaoke spots. Hidden beneath the streets of Utrecht in a neon-lit Tokyo-inspired wonderland, this place is all about private karaoke rooms, over-the-top vibes, cocktails, and singing your heart out with friends. After warming up our vocal cords (and possibly damaging them forever), we’ll take a short walk to [Daebak Korean BBQ](https://daebakbbq.nl/) for an interactive Korean BBQ dinner experience. Expect tabletop grills, endless sizzling meat, delicious banchan, and the kind of food coma that only Korean BBQ can deliver. **🕒 Schedule** * **17:30 – 19:30** → Karaoke at Duke of Tokyo * **20:00 – 22:00** → Korean BBQ dinner at Daebak The two venues are within walking distance from each other. **💰 Costs** **Karaoke Only** * Karaoke at Duke of Tokyo: **€18** **Korean BBQ Only** * Korean BBQ dinner at Daebak: **€42** **Full Evening** * Karaoke + Korean BBQ: **€60** *Drinks are not included.* **⚠️ Important Information** * You are welcome to join **only the karaoke**, **only the dinner**, or **both activities**. * RSVP means commitment to attend. * Everyone pays for themselves. * Please arrive on time so we can enter the karaoke rooms together. * Bring your best (or worst) song choices. * No singing talent required — enthusiasm is far more important. Expect a night full of laughter, dramatic performances, K-pop singalongs, nostalgic 2000s hits, smoky BBQ grills, and probably at least one accidental duet.

Give your still good laptop a second life instead of ditching it because Windows 11 says it is no good... Or you heard Linux is cool. If you have a backup of your data, that is great, else indicate that you do not, so we can help you. Do so in an extra message or to m10@m10tech.nl, else I don't receive your information. Geef je laptop die het nog prima doet een tweede kans in plaats van hem af te schrijven omdat Window 11 dat zegt... Of omdat je hoorde dat Linux gaaf is. Als je al een backup van je data hebt gemaakt is dat perfect. Of verwacht je dat wij dat doen? In dat geval graag aangeven hoe vol je harde schijf nu is... Doe dat in een extra bericht of aan m10@m10tech.nl, want de info komt anders niet door.

In modern life, we constantly treat our bodies as mere "tools" to get things done, rarely taking a moment to actually listen to them. We contract our posture, match the pace of our screens, and let the brain dominate everything. Yes, Amsterdam is exceptionally hot right now ☀️. Your adult brain might be telling you to stay indoors, glued to the AC and a screen. But remember when you were a kid? Heat never stopped us. We ran into the wild, chased the wind, and embraced the sweat because playing was all that mattered. **Cloud Causality** invites you to step out of the stifling indoor air and dive into the natural, shady canopy of Amsterdam's beautiful Gaasperpark. To let your body breathe with the trees, run barefoot on the grass, and laugh out loud in the cool breeze by the water. To embrace your inner clumsiness, and **awaken the child within you.** 🎭 **What We Will Explore:** * **Unleashing Your True Nature:** Step back into childhood through high-energy, rule-free theatre games that bypass your logical mind.trees, and earth inspire our movement. * **Sensory Reboot:** Awaken the body by reconnecting with your breath, gravity, and natural impulses under the open sky. * **Improvisational Release:** Use nature as your partner—letting the wind and earth help you completely shake off corporate stress and daily hustle. 👥 **Who Is This For?** Perfect for anyone wanting to disconnect from the digital world, release stress, and meet a warm, creative community. **Absolutely no movement or theatre experience needed!** Come exactly as you are. 🕺 **Meet Your Facilitator** This session will be led by **Zippo Guo**, a Chinese physical theatre artist, Featured illusionist at ‘The Illusionists Starring Hans Klok’ (Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group) ☁️ **About Cloud Causality (当下剧场)** Cloud Causality is an international platform for physical theatre and cultural exchange. Our work is rooted in two core philosophies: * **The Danish Folk High School Tradition:** Inspired by the spirit of the *“School for Life”*—prioritizing experiential learning, non-competitive play, and human connection over pressure and performance. * **Mime Corporel (Corporal Mime):** Developed by Étienne Decroux, this practice forms our foundation—using expressive movement to make the invisible currents of life visible and poetic. 📅 **Practical Info** * **Date:** Saturday, Jun 27, 2026 * **Time:** 13:00 – 16:00 * **Location:** Gaasperpark, Amsterdam * **What to wear:** Comfortable clothes you can move in. Bring a water bottle and sunscreen! 💛 **Contribution (Donation-Based)** * Students / Not working full-time: €5–15 * Working / Financially comfortable: €10–30 * *Tight on budget?

For the fifth chapter of *Pastime*, our journey through Dutch history moves into the **14th century**, and this time we’ll explore one of the most fascinating historic cities in the Netherlands: **Deventer**. 📍 Sunday 28 June — 14:00 📍 Meeting point: outside Deventer station Once one of the most important cities of the Hanseatic League, Deventer grew wealthy through trade along the IJssel river. Salt, fish and goods from all over Northern Europe passed through these streets, shaping a city that still today feels deeply medieval in atmosphere. During our walk, we’ll wander through narrow alleys, along crooked warehouses and beside the river that made Deventer rich and powerful. But this time, the story we’ll follow is not only one of commerce and prosperity. The 14th century was also the century of the **Black Death**. As plague devastated Europe, people searched desperately for explanations: was it divine punishment? Was the world ending? Or was society itself changing? Through the story of **Geert Groote**, one of Deventer’s most influential historical figures and founder of the *Devotio Moderna* movement, we’ll explore how the plague transformed the way people thought about religion, society and human life itself — changes that would deeply shape European culture in the centuries to come. This is one of those walks where history suddenly feels very close. The walk itself is around **5.4 km**, although please note that reaching the actual starting point from the station requires an additional \~20 minutes of walking through the city. And of course, as always, we’ll end with a well-deserved drink 🍻 After the walk we’ll stop at **DAVO**, Deventer’s best-known craft brewery, founded in 2007 and now famous throughout the Netherlands. Their philosophy is simple but excellent: every beer should respect the “3-pint rule” — after three beers, you should still want another sip. Whether you love hoppy blond beers, darker stouts or simply good company after a long historical walk, it feels like the perfect place to close the day together. Everyone is welcome 😊

Let’s gather in the sunshine for a relaxed afternoon of connection, good food, and creative conversation at Wilhelminapark! After our first workshop, this picnic is a chance to get to know each other more personally, reflect on our experience together, and enjoy a meaningful summer moment as a community. We’ll share stories, ideas, food, and inspiration in a beautiful outdoor setting. I’ll bring a whiteboard where everyone can share ideas for future community gatherings, creative meetups, and ways to stay connected between workshops. It will also be a fun way to get to know each other better, discover shared interests, and help shape the community together. I’ll bring a few simple games and conversation prompts to keep the creative energy flowing. ✨ What to bring: • Your favorite dish or snack to share • Your own drink (and something extra to share if you’d like) • A blanket or something comfortable to sit on • An open mind and your creative ideas ☀️ Looking ahead: Our next official Creative Circle workshop will most likely take place after the summer. In the meantime, this picnic is a wonderful opportunity to stay connected, get to know each other better, and explore ideas for informal gatherings and community activities between workshops. Whether you joined our first workshop or are simply curious about future events, you’re very welcome to come along. No agenda, no pressure, just a lovely opportunity to connect, relax, and enjoy a summer afternoon with fellow creatives, curious minds, and kind humans. 💛 This community is something we’re creating together, and everyone’s voice matters. 🌦️ Weather note: Dutch weather can be unpredictable! If rain is forecast, we’ll either move to a cozy indoor location nearby or reschedule to another date. I’ll post an update in the Meetup event and message all attendees with notice. Looking forward to seeing you there!
