Offener Leseabend
## Wo & Wann?
**JEDEN MONTAG** findet die offene Lesebühne des Autorenforums Berlin statt (außer an Feiertagen)
**BEGINN**: 20:00 Uhr
**ANMELDUNG zum Lesen: ab 19:30 Uhr**
beim Moderator des Abends – siehe [Termine](http://autorenforum-berlin.de/wordpress/termine/);
Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist kostenlos.
**SCHWARTZSCHE VILLA**
**Großer Salon**
Direkt am S/U Rathaus Steglitz
Grunewaldstr. 55
Der offene Leseabend stellt das Herzstück des Autorenforums e.V. dar. Er steht nicht nur Mitgliedern, sondern grundsätzlich jedem Autor und jeder Autorin offen, der gerne einen unveröffentlichten Text vor Publikum präsentieren möchte. Auch Kritik kann jedermann üben. Wer lieber zuhören möchte, kann einfach am Montagabend um 20.00 in der Schwartzschen Villa erscheinen. Für Lesewillige gilt die unten stehende ausführliche Information (mündliche Anmeldung ab 19:30 Uhr).
*Unfortunately at the moment, it's only possible to present German texts. Unpublished texts that are already translated into German are highly welcome!*
## Was erwartet Sie?
Im Großen Salon der Schwartzsche Villa treffen Sie auf einen Kreis von Literaturbegeisterten, die Ihrem Text eine ernsthafte und fundierte Kritik spenden. Das Publikum wechselt. Es ist gemischt, geeint durch das Interesse an Texten.
Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Abends lesen aus ihren bislang unveröffentlichten Kurzgeschichten, lyrischen Texten, Erzählungen, Romanen, manchmal auch aus Theaterstücken. Die Autoren stellen nicht sich selbst, sondern ihre Texte der Kritik.
Wir verstehen uns als Arbeitsbühne. Deshalb wird bei uns nach den Lesungen nicht geklatscht.
Die Texte werden nach der Lesung des Autors auf handwerkliche Stärken und Schwächen „abgeklopft“. Es geht im Forum daher nicht um weltanschauliche Debatten. Im Idealfall hat der Autor/die Autorin nach einer Lesung und der Kritik verstanden, wo die Stärken und Schwächen seines Textes liegen, woran es seinem Text noch fehlt, was er ändern sollte und wo er bei seiner Überarbeitung ansetzen kann.
Der Abend endet gegen 22.00. Im Anschluss können Sie mit den Autoren im Café der Schwartzschen Villa noch ins Gespräch kommen und manches aus dem Literaturbetrieb erfahren. Wir sind im Kontakt auch mit namhaften Vertretern desselben.
Also – nicht gleich verschwinden! Dranbleiben.
Reden Sie mit den Forumianern!
## Sie möchten selbst lesen?
Wenn Sie selbst im Autorenforum lesen wollen, gibt es einige Dinge zu beachten. Wir bitten Sie sehr herzlich, sich mindestens einmal vor Ihrer ersten Lesung bei uns mit unseren Gegebenheiten vertraut zu machen. Ihren Lesewunsch können Sie dann ab 19.30 Uhr (Einlass) bei der Moderatorin oder dem Moderator eines Leseabends anmelden.
**Wir weisen ausdrücklich daraufhin, dass über die Annahme und Reihenfolge der Lesungen die jeweiligen Moderatoren entscheiden und es NICHT zwingend nach der Reihenfolge der Anmeldungen geht!**
In der Regel reicht die Zeit nur für drei Autoren je Abend und die Nachfrage ist oft recht hoch. Falls Sie einen lyrischen Text vortragen möchten, bringen Sie bitte mindestens 10 (zehn) Kopien mit, damit Ihr Publikum mitlesen kann. Die Kopien erhalten Sie selbstverständlich zurück.
# Wie üben wir Textkritik?
Nach der Idee von Maik Turni
## **Anschleichen**
**Wie wirkt der Text auf mich?** (Keine Angst vor Adjektiven! )
**Was habe ich gehört?** (Zusammenfassung (Nacherzählung))
**Was blieb unverstanden** (akustisch oder logisch)
## **Unter der Lupe**
**Was ist das für ein Text?**
(Prosa: Genre? Lyrik: Welche Art lyrischer Text?)
**Thema**
(Welches Thema berührt der Text? Hat der Autor sein Thema im Griff?
Ist es überzeugend/plausibel/gut recherchiert, vielleicht sogar zu faktenreich?)
**Figuren**
(Wie wirken die Figuren? Wer ist die Hauptfigur? Welches Problem hat die Hauptfigur?)
**Perspektive**
(Wie verhält sich die Erzählperspektive zum Thema / zu den Figuren?)
**Sprache**
(Welche Bilder sind stimmig / welche nicht?
Was lässt sich zum Rhythmus sagen?
Sind die Sätze syntaktisch und grammatikalisch korrekt?)
**Dramaturgie**
(Schafft der Text es, Spannung zu erzeugen? In welcher Reihenfolge werden die Dinge erzählt?)
**Bedeutung**
(Gelingt es dem Autor, die Bedeutung, die er seinem Text geben will, auch im Leser entstehen zu lassen?)
## **Klarspüler**
Fragen werden an den Text gestellt, nicht an den Autor!
Daher sollte der Text antworten.
## **Weichspüler**
Wird bei uns nicht verwendet.
Aber es gilt: Nicht der Autor wird kritisiert, sondern der Text!
Hart zum Text, sanft zum Autor!

Park Workout and Martial Arts
We'll start off the session with a run in Gleisdreieck park that might include scaling some walls, visiting a few sites in the area to explore their opportunities for climbing and balancing, or going up or down stairs in unusual ways. After the outdoors bit, we come back to our gym where we focus on building strength, working as a group, and learning basic martial arts techniques. We are a small, accessible, mixed-gender, queer-friendly group open to anyone, without any prior knowledge or specific degree of fitness required. Our martial art is Jutaijutsu, a traditional Japanese one focused on self-defence.
Sounds interesting? We'd love for you to drop by and join us. You'll need running shoes and comfortable workout clothes, including a raincoat or the like for the park if the weather is bad. Once indoors, we train barefoot. The first three Meetups are free of charge. If you'd like to join our group beyond that, we would ask you to join our association, https://yanagi.berlin, a martial arts school based in Berlin. Membership there is 30 EUR/month and you will be able to train three times a week.
Brunch, Lecture & Marina Abramović Exhibition at Gropius Bau
Join us for a thought-provoking Saturday morning exploring the legacy of women in art — from timeless icons to one of today's most influential and provocative voices.
📋 Agenda
🥐 Brunch & Lecture: We'll meet for a cosy brunch with croissants, viennoiserie, and coffee/tea — included in the participation fee. Alongside, I'll give a lecture on groundbreaking women artists — from Artemisia Gentileschi to Hilma af Klint — tracing how women have challenged, redefined, and expanded the boundaries of art across centuries.
🖼️ Marina Abramović exhibition at Gropius Bau: Then we'll head to Gropius Bau to experience Marina Abramović: Balkan Erotic Epic — her first major solo show in Berlin since the 1990s. The exhibition spans the entire building, weaving together video, sculpture, and live performance rooted in Balkan folklore, ritual, eroticism, and the body as a site of political resistance. It includes daily live re-performances and works spanning 50 years of her practice. One of the most talked-about exhibitions in Berlin this year.
📅 Date & Time: Saturday, 11.07 · 11:30
📍 Brunch location: Exact address shared with attendees 1 day before the event
📍 Exhibition: Gropius Bau, Niederkirchnerstraße 7, Berlin
💶 Participation Fee: 30 EUR (brunch included; exhibition entry not included — tickets available at Gropius Bau)
📌 RSVP required — intimate group, spots are limited
✅ Event Info & FAQ
🕐 How long will it last?
The full experience runs approximately 4–5 hours including brunch, lecture, and exhibition visit.
💶 Payment — How do I pay?
Participation fee is paid on the day — cash or PayPal. Exhibition entry is paid separately at Gropius Bau. If your plans change, please update your status to "Not Going" so someone on the waiting list can take your spot. 🙏
⚠️ Limited Spots: To keep the group intimate and allow for conversation, spaces are limited. Please cancel if you can't attend so someone else may join.
⏰ Respect & Punctuality: Please arrive on time and be mindful of the group.
⚠️ Content note: The Abramović exhibition includes depictions of nudity, self-harm, and sexually explicit acts rooted in Balkan ritual and folklore.
🥐 Can I join only for brunch or only for the exhibition?
No — it's one full shared experience.
❗ What if I show up without signing up?
Unfortunately a spot can't be guaranteed. Only confirmed RSVPs are accepted.
✨ Meet Yuliya, the founder of Berlin Ladies Art Culture — a growing community of over 2,000 women passionate about art, culture, and meaningful connection. With a background bridging hospitality, real estate, and creative studies, she has lived in Ukraine, France, China, and now Berlin. Over the years, she has expanded her passion for art through diverse studies and experiences — from the Louvre School in Paris to the University of the Arts London, from workshops at the Universität der Künste in Berlin to curatorial programs during the Venice Biennale — and most recently completed studies at Sotheby's Institute of Art in London. Today, she curates experiences that blend art history, conversation, and exploration — always with the goal of making culture feel alive, shared, and inspiring.

Wir lesen einander vor, geben Rückmeldung, ermutigen uns gegenseitig und praktizieren das Zuhören.

Lights Up! The Unscripted Musical by KALEIDOSCOPE
\# Kaleidoscope — at Monbijou Theater
\#\# Lights Up\! Berlin's Sell\-Out Unscripted Musical
**Monbijou Amphitheater · Monbijoupark, Berlin**
**Doors: 5:30 PM · Show: 6:00 PM · Running time: 90 minutes**
**Performed in English · Amphitheater · No interval**
\*\*\*
There is no better place to watch a musical get born than a wooden amphitheater on a summer evening in Berlin.
Lights Up! is Kaleidoscope's fully unscripted musical: a complete story, with original songs, live music, and characters that didn't exist before tonight. The ensemble steps on stage with nothing prepared. The audience gives them a suggestion. And ninety minutes later, a musical ends that will never be performed again.
A professional live band plays every song for the first time. The ensemble builds every scene from scratch. Nobody has rehearsed. Nobody has a script.
Every seat at Monbijou Theater looks onto an open stage surrounded by one of Berlin's most loved outdoor spaces.
**Performed in English. All nationalities welcome.**
**A ticket reservation is required!** [TICKETS HERE.](https://www.yesticket.org/event/en/kaleidoscope-the-unscripted-musical-at-monbijou-12-07-26/)

\#\#\# ★★★★★ *"Riotous joy"* — UK Theatre Network
*Since their debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Kaleidoscope has toured the UK and Europe — and kept finding new ways to make the unrepeatable look effortless.*

Wild Thursday: THE INVITE at Cinemark Polaris!
Wild Thursday: THE INVITE on Thursday, July 9th at Cinemark Polaris!
Join us as we get together to see the spicy and hilarious comedy-drama-romance from A24, THE INVITE! The film stars Olivia Wilde (who also directs) along with Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton, and follows a dinner party that spirals into unexpected places! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Joe and Angela's marriage is on thin ice. When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places. The film is an English language remake of the Spanish film The People Upstairs by Cesc Gay. It is directed by Olivia Wilde, who also stars alongside Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The Invite premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and sparked an immediate bidding war to acquire it! The film is earning a 93% positive rating with critics calling it, “marvelously entertaining” and “endlessly relatable, sometimes uncomfortably so!” Others call it, “a smart, sophisticated and incisively acted” comedy “with plenty to say and even more laughs to share.”
TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ19I9q_hOQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ19I9q_hOQ)

CMG Gives Back: Serve Dinner at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

If either payment option requests a phone number or if you’d like to mail payment, just send me a private message offline and I’ll send you the phone number and/or address.
Look forward to seeing you there for what should be another fun and memorable event, Dan
