Performing Arts

Weg vom Bildschirm und von vorgegebenen Lösungen – hinein in die unbegrenzte Kreativität der realen Welt! In diesem Kurs lernen die Kinder auch auf spielerische Weise, ihre Umwelt wahrzunehmen, zu schätzen und darzustellen. Ausserdem tasten sie sich an ihre eigenen Vorlieben und Begabungen heran und erleben die Begeisterung, eigenhändig Kunstwerke zu erschaffen. Unter professioneller Beratung und individueller Betreuung wird in kleinen Gruppen (ausser in den Schulferien) gearbeitet. **Einstieg und Probeunterricht:** ist jederzeit möglich. **Auskunft und Anmeldung:** marianas@gmx.ch \* 078 628 78 24 \* www.marianas.ch **Dienstags in Zürich**, GBMZ Sieglungslokal an der Hohlstrasse 197, von 17:00 bis 19:00 Uhr **Freitags in Illnau:** von 13:15 bis 15:15 Uhr und von 15:30 bis 17:30Uhr und **samstags in Illnau:** von 10:00 bis 12:00 Uhr **Kurskosten** (inkl.

*English description below* Come un bookclub ma per i podcast. Ogni mese ci ritroviamo per parlare di un podcast che abbiamo ascoltato e scambiarci pareri, opinioni e consigli su nuovi e possibili ascolti. Questo mese ascoltiamo ***Mamera - La storia nascosta degli Jenish*,** un podcast di Taty Rossi, prodotto dall'Associazione REC. Puoi ascoltarlo su **[Spreaker](https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mamera--6745328 "https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mamera--6745328"), [Apple Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/mamera/id1844590898 "https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/mamera/id1844590898") e [Radio Gwen](https://www.radiogwen.ch/trans/mamera.php "https://www.radiogwen.ch/trans/mamera.php")** Puoi usare questo schema per annotare le tue riflessioni e condividerle poi con il resto del gruppo [https://bit.ly/fogliotqe_PAZ](https://bit.ly/fogliotqe_PAZ "https://bit.ly/fogliotqe_PAZ") *(Per scaricarlo è necessario avere un account Google)* Questo appuntamento è gentilmente ospitato dal [Selbstlernzentrum di Hönggerberg](https://www.sprachenzentrum.uzh.ch/de/Autonomes-Lernen/Selbstlernzentrum-H%C3%B6nggerberg.html "https://www.sprachenzentrum.uzh.ch/de/Autonomes-Lernen/Selbstlernzentrum-H%C3%B6nggerberg.html"), un centro nato dalla collaborazione tra il Servizio linguistico dell’Università di Zurigo, quello del Politecnico federale di Zurigo, la Biblioteca e il Rettorato dell’ETH Zürich. **Mamera - La storia nascosta degli Jenish** *Dal sito [rec.swiss/mamera](https://rec.swiss/mamera/ "https://rec.swiss/mamera/")* Tra il 1926 e il 1973, il programma “Kinder der Landstrasse”, promosso dalla Fondazione Pro Juventute e sostenuto dalla Confederazione, tolse con la forza centinaia di bambini jenisch alle loro famiglie. Dietro questa operazione si celava un progetto eugenetico, volto a cancellare l’identità di un intero gruppo nomade. Una serie podcast in sette episodi che riporta alla luce questa drammatica storia di discriminazione attraverso testimonianze, documenti e riflessioni, mettendo a fuoco una ferita collettiva e un passato che interpella il presente. **Cosa è P.A.Z. Podcast Ascolti Zurigo?** Il miglior modo per conoscere un podcast è il passaparola. Solitamente questo viaggia attraverso i social media. P.A.Z., acrononimo che sta per Podcast Ascolti Zurigo nasce per scoprire cose nuove da ascoltare e avere la possibilità di parlarne con altri, in persona. Come un bookclub, ma per i podcast. ***English Version*** Each month, we gather to discuss a podcast we've listened to, sharing thoughts, opinions, and recommendations for future listens. This month we are listening to *Mamera – The Hidden History of the Jenish*, a podcast by Taty Rossi, an "Associazione REC" production. You can listen to it on **[Spreaker](https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mamera--6745328 "https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mamera--6745328"), [Apple Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/mamera/id1844590898 "https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/mamera/id1844590898") e [Radio Gwen](https://www.radiogwen.ch/trans/mamera.php "https://www.radiogwen.ch/trans/mamera.php")** This event is kindly hosted by the [Selbstlernzentrum at Hönggerberg](https://www.sprachenzentrum.uzh.ch/de/Autonomes-Lernen/Selbstlernzentrum-H%C3%B6nggerberg.html "https://www.sprachenzentrum.uzh.ch/de/Autonomes-Lernen/Selbstlernzentrum-H%C3%B6nggerberg.html"), a center established through the collaboration between the Language Center of the University of Zurich, the Language Center of ETH Zurich, as well as the ETH Zurich Library and Rectorate. **Mamera – The Hidden History of the Jenish** From *[rec.swiss/mamera](https://rec.swiss/mamera/ "https://rec.swiss/mamera/")* Between 1926 and 1973, the “Kinder der Landstrasse” program—initiated by the Pro Juventute Foundation and supported by the Swiss Confederation—forcibly removed hundreds of Jenish children from their families. Behind this operation lay a eugenic agenda aimed at erasing the identity of an entire nomadic community. This seven-part podcast series brings this dramatic history of discrimination back to light through testimonies, archival documents, and critical reflection, shedding light on a collective wound and a past that still resonates today. **What's P.A.Z.?** The best way to discover a podcast is through word of mouth, usually traveling through social media. P.A.Z., an acronym for Podcast Ascolti Zurigo, was born to uncover new things to listen to and the chance to discuss them with others in person. Like a book club, but for podcasts. **Is there an entry fee?** The event is free (it would be nice to know how many of us are coming, so if you can, RSVP for free here). Everyone is free to order something at the bar at their own expense. **Do I need to have listened to the entire podcast?** No, you can come even if you haven't heard the entire podcast (but it's better if you have). **Is the podcast to listen to always in Italian?** Yes, currently, P.A.Z. aims to focus on Italian-language podcasts, and anyone who speaks Italian is welcome. **I like it but I can't be there, what can I do?** Feel free to contact me via meetup or, join to our [Whatsapp Group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DBWV6im8RDe98hrP5ehH60), and I will be happy to keep you updated on upcoming events.

**Kon-Tiki Comedy Tuesday!** Zurich's longest standing weekly Comedy Night : English Standup at Kon-Tiki Bar since 2018! **Tickets :** [https://shorturl.at/fgjmM](https://shorturl.at/fgjmM) Kon-Tiki Comedy has long become a staple of Tuesday Nights in Zurich! Veterans, regulars, amateurs & newbies from all around the world show up to make people laugh. This Comedy Open Mic is regularly Hosted by Ahmet Bilge. Kon-Tiki Comedy is the place for English Standup in central Zurich. Come join & laugh with us! **Early Show starts at 19:30 pm // Late Show starts at 21:30 pm** **Frequently Asked Questions:** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Q: Is the show in English?** A: YES. Kon-Tiki Comedy is always in English. **Q: What's the difference of a Comedy Open Mic from a regular Comedy Show?** A: Anybody who wants can go on stage at a Comedy Open Mic. A bunch of Comedians will be there, but they will be trying out jokes, because this is how Comedians find out if something is funny or not, so you get to be there at the birthplace of jokes. Often Comedy Open Mics are more casual & but also funny as well! **Q: Can I perform Comedy also?** A: Yes of course! Just contact theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com if you're interested in performing. Or directly go to the event page on facebook & write "SPOT" inside the event discussion. You'll be confirmed later & will get 5minutes to start off with. Anybody can sign up! **Q: What about these seats?** A : We have enough seats for everyone but the first come first served rule applies! Especially since Kon-Tiki Comedy is popular, often it is packed inside, so come early for good seats. What's early? Anything before 19:00 & you will have your seat of choice. **Q : What about the late show?** Depending on the turnout a late show is also available most of the time, please check the ticket page to see if there is a late show option. Basically if you can buy tickets to the late show, it's happening, if it's not an option for a ticket it's not! Both shows might be consolidated into one if there's not enough ticket sold for the late show. In this case you will recieve an e-mail telling you so. **Q : Can I refund my ticket?** There are no refunds allowed because it becomes too much work for a simple Comedy Open Mic, so only buy your ticket if you know you're for sure going to be able to make it. But if for some reason you can't make it, you are welcome to use your ticket for any future Kon-Tiki Comedy Shows. Just write an e-mail to exchange. **Q : Can I buy tickets at the door?** No please don't. Technically we can but it complicates everything, so just buy them online. Just to persuade you NOT to ask to buy at the door: Tickets at the door are 15.-CHF. Please buy online : ) **Q: Will it be funny?** A : You betcha. You can't do a regular show since 2018 & not be funny. **Any other questions:** Email: theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com with the title "Kon-Tiki Comedy" But if it's any of the questions covered by the FAQ above, I will still answer it, *but first I will insult you.* **Legal Disclaimer:** Comedians may film their sets as well as the audience during the comedy show. By buying a ticket you consent to being filmed in this public space. If you ever have a problem with any clip published online you are very welcome to contact us & ask to have it removed, we are happy to accomodate you. Thank you for your understanding.

The topic for May is "Ink" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
