**What is Innate Dance?** Innate Dance is a joyful approach to movement, which invites deeper embodiment and self-connection through butoh inspired movement, Noguchi Taiso exercises, the Seki Method, somatic attention and imagination. We shake it out, breaking up stuck energy held in the body, and explore new movement possibilities from a place of alignment and sensitivity. Thanks to our open awareness we can be surprised by lesser-known parts of ourselves and come to appreciate our innate wisdom in movement. Through exercises, explorations and improvisations we build trust in the body that knows how it would like to move and express itself, and when we follow our innate dance, it just feels good! There is also time and space to dance freely, to enjoy the music in your body and to let go! Ultimately, it's about feeling more 'in' our body and grounding joy. **When? Where? How much?** **Mondays 19:30-21:00** in Studio 2, Tanz\*Hotel, Zirkusgasse 35, 1020 Wien Try out € 16\,\- \| One class drop\-in € 21\,\- \| Student € 10\,\- \| 5 x class pass €95\,\- \| 1 x class pass for rest of semester € 224\,\- \(or €16/class\) **Who teaches the course?** Jess is a dancer and psychotherapist (humanistic and integrative), who loves shaping classes that offer the space to explore the many facets of being human. Sometimes this learning involves physically embodying non-humans like trees, fish and wind, so we can get out of our limited-human-thinking-mind and into the bigger wisdom available through imagination and our body. At other times it's about dancing textures, sensations or taking on the energy of parts of ourselves so we can know them better. Jess has danced all her life and has been exploring butoh dance for the past eleven years alongside her psychotherapeutic practice. She is co-author of *The Seki Method - Basics* (now available to buy online via website), is a Seki Method Facilitator, and was a 2024 student at the Im_Flieger Schule researching dance and healing.

READ EVERYTHING! Please check this Activity on the day of the event (rain etc.)! Be polite and CANCEL if you are not attending!! *** ### **VIENNA 1900. EVERYDAY A TOTAL WORK OF ART** *(WIEN 1900. ALLTAG – GESAMTKUNSTWERK)* **Location:** MAK – Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna **Opening:** February 24, 2026 This exhibition marks the highly anticipated **reinstallation of the MAK’s world-famous permanent collection** dedicated to Viennese Modernism. Rather than a traditional historical timeline, this new presentation reimagines the era through the eyes of contemporary artist **Markus Schinwald**. Developed in collaboration with the museum's curators, the exhibition moves away from a strictly chronological order to focus on the "history of ideas." **Key Highlights:** * **Atmospheric Staging:** Schinwald has created "film-set-like scenarios" and unique architectural interventions to display the objects, offering a fresh, immersive way to experience the collection. * **The "Total Work of Art":** The show explores the Viennese ideal of the *Gesamtkunstwerk*—the seamless integration of art, architecture, and design into everyday life. * **Masterpieces:** Expect to see iconic works from the **Vienna Secession** and **Wiener Werkstätte**, including furniture, glass, textiles, and design objects by legends like **Gustav Klimt, Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser,** and **Adolf Loos**. It is a contemporary remix of one of the most important periods in art history, designed to reveal the emotional and social stories behind the objects. costs: At opening night the exhibition is for free. If you would like to explore the other exhibition you may have to buy a ticket. I am using the [Bundesmuseencard](https://www.bundesmuseencard.at/faq-in-english/) Join me on this little adventure!

Please read everything! Check this event again on the day (weather updates, last‑minute changes, etc.). And please be polite: cancel your RSVP if you cannot attend. *** **Hello everyone,** The movie: [Dirty Dancing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rzsa_KEoKs) After a "welcome glass" of wine we are going to try the following tasty wines: ** White Wines - Germany** 1\. Pinot Gris: Ankermann \- Grauburgunder Réserve trocken 2024 2\. Pinot Gris: Kesselring \- Grauburgunder Réserve trocken 2024 3\. Pinot Gris: Karl Pfaffmann \- Lebenswerk Grauburgunder Réserve trocken 2024 4\. Riesling: Jakob Jung \- Riesling Heads up trocken 2024 5\. Riesling: von Oetinger \- Riesling Le Bloe trocken 2024 ** Red Wine** Italy 6\. Montepulciano: Guardia dei Mori Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2023 ### [ The Feature Film: Dirty Dancing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rzsa_KEoKs) To accompany our tasting, we will be screening the 1987 classic, ***Dirty Dancing***. Set in the summer of 1963 at the prestigious Kellerman’s Resort, the film is a beautifully choreographed coming-of-age story. It follows Frances "Baby" Houseman as she navigates the transition from the innocent, structured world of her upbringing to the passionate, rhythmic underworld of the resort’s dance staff. It is a story of **defiance, grace, and the courage to break tradition**—themes that resonate deeply with our wine selection. Just as the film moves from the polite upper-class ballrooms to the soulful heat of the staff quarters, our palate will journey from the precise, cool-climate elegance of the **German Réserve whites** to the uninhibited, sun-drenched character of the **Italian Montepulciano**. ** Participation Fee** 25€ per person for Silver Members 30€ per person for Basic Members ** Cash only, please.** **No‑shows will be removed from the group** — let’s keep this community respectful and enjoyable for everyone. ⭐ Optional: Support the Group Until now, I’ve covered all costs for running this group (Meetup fees, organization, etc.) myself. To keep the community growing, I’m introducing a system that also rewards regular participants and supporters of ExPat’s Island. Become a Silver Member Silver Members enjoy: Discounts on wine tastings Discounts on guided tours Priority access for certain events Annual fee: 15€ (Available at every tasting or tour, payable in cash.) If you enjoy these events and want to support the work behind them, this is a great way to help the group thrive. Join me on this little adventure!

Join us for something different as we get together to see EPIC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT! While researching his 2022 film, director Bas Luhrmann came across and compiled rare and previously unseen interviews and videos of Elvis in concert to create “one of the most exciting concert films you’ve ever seen!” Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Part documentary, part concert film, the latest from director Bas Luhrmann is a follow-up to his 2022 film starring Austin Butler. While researching the film, he came across 68 boxes of previously unseen interviews, concert performances and outtakes from previous films. A combination of offstage and onstage Elvis, comes a film that “befits the magnitude of Elvis as a performer but also offers deeper revelations of his humanity and inner life." It is written/directed by Baz Luhrmann (ELVIS, MOULIN ROUGE, THE GREAT GATSBY) and stars the legendary Elvis Presley! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmqWusmzp0k BUZZ AND ACCLAIM: The film screened at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival where it was the runner up in the category People’s Choice Award for Documentaries. Next Best Picture says, “Certain to energize longtime fans and generate new ones for generations to come, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert is a masterwork of montage.” And according to the NY Post, whether you have a room in the house devoted to Elvis or not, this truly “Epic” concert film is an energizing experience!” PLAN: We’ll plan for a pre-show bite at nearby BRAVO around 5 or 5:30pm followed by a 7pm-ish showing on one of their larger screens. Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised. Please list your seat number in the Comments below. Exact showtime and meeting details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
