Open Draw
Kommt am 2. Montagabend im Monat ins Offene Wohnzimmer zum Open Draw!
Raucht Euch auch manchmal der Kopf von zu viel PC-Arbeit? Der Asphalt der Stadt ist heute wieder viel zu grau? Ihr würdet am liebsten mal wieder wild auf einem Blatt Papier rumklecksen oder gedankenverlorene Linien zeichnen?
Höchste Zeit zur Tat zu schreiten!
Wir wollen in entspannter Atmosphäre die kreativen Zellen auf Volldampf fahren und uns der Inspiration überlassen. Mit Musik im Hintergrund sowie Wein, Tee und Snacks im Repertoire wird dann gekleckst, gemalt, gezeichnet, geklebt, geredet und gelacht. Das Ganze kann sehr ambitioniert stattfinden, aber genauso zum Hirn-abschalten dienen. Austausch, Bilderswapping und gegenseitige Tipps/Kritik sind sehr willkommen.
Material stellen wir (Kreide, Bleistift, Wasserfarbe, Acrylfarbe, Pastellstifte, Kohle, Papierbögen, Spiegel, Postkarten, Zeichenbücher, Illustrierte).
Sujet kann alles sein: Der/die Tischnächste, der letzte Traum, oder der Feldhase Dürers. Technik auch: Von (Selbst)portrait über Stilleben bis zur Comiczeichnung soll alles abgedeckt werden.
Wir bieten jeden 2. Montag im Monat offene Treffen zum kreativen Arbeiten sowie gelegentlich technik- und themenbasierte Workshops an.
Wie immer wird um eine Spende für Raummiete/Material von 5-10€ gebeten.
Anmeldung: Katharinav.runnen@gmx.de

## Nostalgia, Energy & Iconic Moves
Step back into the golden era of MTV and VIVA and celebrate Yourself through the power of music and movement.
This class brings back the magic of a time when we watched weekly charts, learned choreographies from music videos, and were inspired by icons like Britney Spears, Beyoncé, and Shakira. It’s all about reliving that energy—while making it Your own.
Led by Anastasia, a Berlin-based dance instructor who started her journey back when Commercial Dance was known as Videoclip Dancing. She used to switch between MTV and VIVA, recording her favorite music videos on VHS to learn every move by heart. Today, she brings these memories back to life - blending nostalgia with fresh energy and a deep love for movement.
> I would like to create a space where You feel free to express Yourself, reconnect with the music You love, and enjoy every moment on the dancefloor. – Anastasia
Each session offers a mix of technique, grooves, and choreography inspired by legendary music videos, adapted to the level of every participant (both beginners and experienced dancers). Expect a dynamic, feel-good atmosphere where You can let go, have fun, and reconnect with the joy of dancing.

The Buddha Wears Prada
A dark stand-up work-in-progress English comedy hour about Sofia May's experience as a former assistant of Buddhist cult leader
A dark stand-up work-in-progress comedy hour about Sofia May's experience as a former member of a Buddhist cult's inner circle, working as the assistant of a very chic, diabolical, female cult leader.
After living the life of a religious Buddhist zealot in a secluded community deep into the Colorado Rocky Mountains for years, Sofia hit the road and blew the whistle. It isn't a famous cult yet, but through exposés, podcasts and general trash-talking, it will be in a year.
What's more, now a self-proclaimed "Buddhaphobe", she intends to ruin your relationship with Buddhism too.
