Wednesday Sessions:
At Brussels Beer Poject
Rue Antoine Dansaert 188, 1000 Bruxelles
*** Participation (Attendee list)**
The session is limited to** 12 attendees**. This ensures the session is manageable and everybody gets enough chances to participate.
Therefore, only the people on the "attendee list" can participate in the session.
**Waiting list**: People on the waiting list should keep an eye on the updates in case someone from the attendees' list drops and you get their spot. It's important for the people on the waiting list also to update their RSVP status if they already know they won't be joining the session.
**Do you just want to observe? **In the regular session, we do not have an audience, only participants. Please do not join the session if you do not plan to participate in the games/scenes.
If you are unsure about something, please contact the event host.
*People on the attendee list are expected to take part.*
*** RSVP Rules**
*Please update your RSVP status in a timely manner if you can't make it to the session. This applies to people on the **attendee list AND waiting list.**
- If you are on the waiting list and know you won't be able to join in case someone from the main list drops, please update your RSVP to "not going". This will give the next person on the waiting list a chance.
*Emergencies aside, please update your RSVP status on time. Canceling at the last minute or just 1 hour before isn't helpful.
- If we see a pattern from someone not showing up after confirming or last-minute cancellations, we reserve the right to prohibit session access.
*Please write a comment if you cancel and your spot becomes available. With this, others will get an extra notification.
**Improv Session Format**
The session is held in English.
The session has three sections: Warm-up, Scene games, and Cool down.
**Warmup:** Quick group games are played to break the ice and get the creative juices flowing.
**Scenes:** Then we move on to scene games. These are mostly from short-form improv, which can include different games with various gimmicks, like story building, character work, guessing, etc
**Cool down:** One or two short group games to end the session. The rules are explained by the moderator before each game.
There is no obligation to participate in games you are uncomfortable with.
There can be feedback after a game is played. This is so we learn from each other and gain skills and insights.
**Tip**: If you are new, pay attention to the regular players when they are performing and notice small details, like how a stage is cleared before a scene, how to enter a scene, and how to collaborate with each other.
*** Who is it for?**
Anyone interested in improv! We accept participants at all levels, beginners and advanced.
This is a great place to start if you are new to improv. The basics will be explained. We only require the "Yes, and...!" spirit!
If you are an advanced player and have ideas and games to share and work on, please do let us know.
We look forward to welcoming you and doing improv!

Meet up and knit or crochet while having a coffee or tea
. Find us on Facebook to see what's actually happening. Bring your own knitting or crochet project and join other people who enjoy yarn crafts for a relaxing couple of hours on Saturday afternoons.
The 1st Saturday of the month is not an in-person meet-up, but on zoom. All people and all levels welcome, including beginners, whom we are happy to help get started (although we don't run classes). No charge. All you need is some yarn and a crochet hook or a pair of knitting needles. We are very friendly so don't be shy. The venue may change from time to time so please check back on the day before the event to be sure you have it right. We mostly speak English, but people in the group are very international and speak many languages. Looking forward to seeing you.
Guided Tour: Bellezza e Bruttezza @ Bozar
The unique exhibition *Bellezza e Bruttezza* at Bozar will soon come to an end.
The works are amazing and can be appreciated on their own, but the thought-provoking thread running through the exhibition is less obvious and might benefit from the guidance of an art historian. If you wish to learn more about the prescriptive power of images as it emerged during the 16th century, join this guided tour.
I'm one of Bozar's guides, and the rates are the official ones.
Let's meet at 11:15 in the main Horta Hall. Be on time, we have to set up the audio system.
Edit : Since we are not reaching 10 participants for Bellezza e Brutezza, I propose to use my Joker at Bozar: I can offer one personal tour.
Entrance is €18 full price, €2 with Museum Pass. After the visit, you can simply give me whatever tip you like.
Please confirm you still want to attend.
So we keep the visit!
Looking forward to seeing you all :-)

America 250th Picnic!
***July is National Picnic Month*** (along with National Hot Dog/Baked Beans/Ice Cream Month)! So let's do it up by joining a giant PICNIC celebrating America's 250th Birthday!
Join us at Wyandotte Winery for an **America 250–Ohio Homecoming Picnic as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States in true Ohio style!** Throughout July 2026, communities across Ohio are gathering for food, fun, and friendship to honor our nation’s history and reflect on the contributions of Ohioans over the past 250 years.
Our picnic will feature a relaxed atmosphere with food, music, and opportunities to connect with friends.
*BRING*: Guests are encouraged to bring picnic blankets and lawn chairs and enjoy an afternoon of community celebration.
*FREE EVENT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC*: Food and beverages will be available for purchase from the shop and food trucks.
*PARKING*: limited near the wine shop. Most park one block away in the church parking lot.
[Wyandotte Winery](https://www.wyandottewinery.com/) has been part of the Central Ohio community since 1977, and we are proud to host this gathering during our 50th year of operation as a local place for connection and hospitality.
