For 2026, we are starting our third year meeting every second Tuesday to mingle and get some ideas rolling. If you were not able to join us last time, come network, share stories, and meet some new people to crew or talent for your next project.

Not required, but definitely appreciated. **PLEASE NOTE LOCATION (only this time) ** When: Tuesday at 20:00 where: **kotor city eat and drink Schubertring 4 1010** --please be sure to sign up and cancel if you cannot make it, so we can be respectful to the venue.

THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT. Our hugely popular TRUE STORY NIGHTS storytelling show is now in its 5th year! The next show is at Vienna's grand Volkstheater (Rote Bar) on Tuesday 5th May with another fabulous line up. Joining Turan Ali as regular host this month are actor and improviser Kathy Tanner, storyteller and theatre-maker Anne Johnson and our singer-songwriter is a rising star of the Vienna music scene Patrick Lammer. As ever, this will be an evening of diverse stories, laughter, tears and recognition. This event sells out every time, so buy tickets early at [https://www.volkstheater.at/produktion/1494643/true-story-nights/3312878/inhalt/](https://www.volkstheater.at/produktion/1494643/true-story-nights/3312878/inhalt/) Please remember - it is not enough just to RSVP here - you need to buy tickets from Volkstheater. This event is also open to non-Meet Up members, so it is not only Vienna Storytelling Collective members who attend these shows, but also the public who go to Volkstheater.

Every Jam, we aim to complete a song and record a rough demo of it. Briing your own song idea or just join in the creative process. Numbers need to be very limited, so please don't say you will be attending if you are not.

Hier können alle mitmachen - es ist keine Vorerfahrung notwendig und wir begeben uns nach einem Kennenlernen und Aufwärmen in die Welt der Impro Szenen und Kurzformate. Es ist sowohl ein Platz zum Ausprobieren für neue ImprospielerInnen als auch zum Üben und Weiterentwickeln für erfahrene ImprospielerInnen. Eintritt: Freie Spende!

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. _______________________________________________________ This is NOT a guided tour. I am going to have a look at the new exhibition! **Buy your ticket incl. timeslot (7pm) beforehand online!** Owners of the annual card or the bundesmuseencard: you will need to book a timeslot too. You ll find the number of your card in the email from your purchase of the annual card. [Link to book the ticket & timeslot.](https://shop.khm.at/en/tickets/canaletto-bellotto-200000000008445-T429-01) Tip: I added the audio guide for 5€ to my order. About the exhibition: "The famous city views of Giovanni Antonio Canal (better known as Canaletto) and his nephew Bernardo Bellotto (who often called himself Canaletto as well, to emphasize his connection to his celebrated uncle) take centre stage in the upcoming exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum. With the help of optical devices, such as the camera obscura, these two Venetian painters surveyed European cities with scientific precision, yet creatively transformed what they saw into grand pictorial scenes. Both artists painted spectacular views of their hometown, Venice, but they both left the lagoon city to pursue their careers abroad: Canaletto moved to London, while Bellotto worked in Dresden and Vienna. Featuring major international loans – many of which have never before been exhibited in Austria – the exhibition invites you to rediscover the eighteenth-century city and two artists whose careers mirror a Europe shaped by mobility, war, and uncertainty." khm

\*\* Sign up: https://villavida.at/event/surreal-sip-n-paint-drag-edition-vienna\*\* Step into a surreal world of art, drag, and creativity at Villa Vida Café. This special sip and paint session is hosted by [@itsgretalicious](https://www.instagram.com/itsgretalicious/) and blends bold visual inspiration with a relaxed, social atmosphere. Whether you paint often or have never picked up a brush, this workshop is designed to be easy, welcoming, and expressive. There are no strict rules. The focus is on process, not perfection. *** ## **Drag Edition Atmosphere** This edition is inspired by drag aesthetics. Think dramatic, bold, and a little unexpected. You are encouraged to: * Experiment with color and form * Lean into exaggeration and character * Let go of “getting it right” The space is queer-centered, inclusive, and open to all skill levels. *** ## **Event Details** Date: May 9 Time: 14:00 Location: Villa Vida Café, Vienna Price: 20€ (materials included) All painting materials are provided. Just bring yourself. *** ## **Who This Is For** This workshop is for: * Beginners who want to try painting * Creatives looking for new inspiration * Anyone interested in surreal art and drag culture * People who enjoy relaxed, social workshops No prior experience is needed. ## **What to Expect** * A guided but flexible painting session * A supportive and low-pressure environment * Time to connect with others * A finished artwork to take home Arrive on time so you can settle in and start together with the group. *** ## **Accessibility & Space** Villa Vida Café is a queer-centered, community space.

# **Day DJ Series at Villa Vida: DJ Joy Resistance** Day DJ is a weekly series at Villa Vida Café. Each Friday, local DJs take over the space and share their sound in a daytime setting. The focus is on new talent, experimentation, and community. This is a place to build sets, try ideas, and connect through music. The format is open and relaxed. You can come to listen, work, meet people, or stay for the full set. The aim is to create a consistent platform where DJs grow their practice and support each other. *** ## **DJ Joy Resistance** DJ Joy Resistance brings an approach rooted in energy, connection, and movement. Their sets focus on creating a shared atmosphere rather than sticking to rigid genre boundaries, allowing space for experimentation and flow. *** DJs have played a central role in queer culture. In spaces where queer people were excluded, DJs created environments where identity and expression could exist. Through sound, they shaped rooms, built connections, and guided shared experiences. Many of the sounds and practices that define nightlife today grew out of queer spaces. House, disco, and club culture were shaped by queer communities, especially Black and Latinx scenes. Day DJ continues this history by creating space for new voices and keeping this culture active.
