**In Association With the Berlin Portrait Academy and PAKD Gallery / PAKD Art Lab** * **www.berlinportraitacademy.com** * **www.pakd-gallery.com/artlab** * **Cost: 15 Euros** A regular opportunity to study the nude or portrait from life for 3 hours, every single week! We have one long pose - you can choose whether to draw several studies from different angles around the room, or take your time to do a single sustained drawing or painting in full detail. The pose is held for 20 minute intervals with five minute breaks in-between so the model to rest and stretch, and so artists can move between seats if they choose. We provide some materials such as paper, pencils & pastels for free. Canvases, brushes and acrylic paint can be purchased at the event. We hope to see you there very soon!

**[TICKETS FOR SALE ON EVENTBRITE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/finishing-tracks-with-biesmans-tickets-1986358765539)** Most producers don't have an unfinished track problem. They have a too-much-going-on problem. Too many elements, too many layers, too many decisions left unmade. The track loses its identity somewhere in the process. This workshop is about finding it again. **Biesmans** — Berlin-based producer and DJ with nearly 30 years in the house and techno scene — opens up his actual working process in real time. No slides, no theory, no tutorial. Just a real track getting meaningfully better in front of the room. **How it works:** Participants submit an unfinished track in advance. Biesmans selects one, preps it, and works on it live during the session — talking through every decision as he makes it. The rest of the time is open Q&A where participants can bring their own questions and challenges. **Format:** * Duration: 3 hours * Participants submit one track + one question before the workshop * Live session: 90–120 minutes * Open Q&A: 60 minutes * Wrap + next steps: 15 minutes

Hello fellow Symfonians, we are thrilled to announce the next user group meeting of the year, featuring two insightful talks that you **won't want to miss**! This time we are hosted by c-base (Rungestrasse 20 10179 Berlin). Come by and enjoy an evening of learning, networking, and socializing with fellow Symfony and PHP developers. **Agenda:** 18:30: Doors open 19:00: Welcome and Introduction 19:20: **Talk 1: "Maintainable Frontends for Symfony" by Daniela Berger** 19:50: Break & Snack 20:00: **Talk 2: "Why every CMS needs MCP" by Roland Golla** 20:40: Socializing **Talk Details:** **Talk 1: "Maintainable Frontends for Symfony" by Daniela Berger** In many web projects we find more backend devs than frontend devs, sometimes significantly so. This often leads to devs with little frontend experience being asked to do frontend development anyway, and they often end up shaping their frontends in ways that will make their lives unnecessarily hard. One common result are frontends that are functionally unmaintainable because each change - whether it is a new feature or a bugfix - requires implementing an exception to existing code, thus making the code increasingly and unnecessarily complex. This is especially upsetting because with a bit of experience it is possible to implement light-weight frontend components with equally elegant CSS and JavaScript that are easy to extend and to adapt to new requirements without digging oneself into a deeper hole with each PR. And since Symfony is making frontend development steadily more accessible to backend devs with Symfony US / Stimulus, this is a good time to take a closer look at \*how\* to structure these frontends. This talk aims to a) introduce core frontend concepts that backend devs might not be aware of, b) show best frontend practices both on the code level and on the architecture level, c) show a few common mistakes that can be found in inexpertly implemented frontends, and c) introduce tools that will make consistent frontend development easier. **Talk 2: "Why every CMS needs MCP" by Roland Golla** Your content team already works in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Yet the content still lands in the CMS backend manually, clumsily, slowly. MCP changes that. One sentence in chat becomes a published article. No copy pasting, no formatting, no clicking. And the content ranks. On Google, on ChatGPT, on Perplexity, on whatever comes next. Good content written by AI directly into the CMS goes live faster and gets found. I show you the MCP plugin for Sulu CMS: open source, built on Symfony, ready to deploy. But this is not about implementation. It is about the three questions every content team must ask: Why does every website need MCP? What does good AI content look like? And why is conversational content management better than anything you click together in a backend? MCP makes content creation as easy as chat. If you can write, you can publish. No CMS training, no workflow, no waiting. Live on stage: a complete workflow from idea in chat to published article in Sulu CMS. Everything open source on GitHub. Don't miss these insightful talks, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities. We can't wait to see you at the **April Symfony User Group**!" If you have any questions or accessibility requirements, please reach out to us. Also, if your company wants to be the next host for the User Group, just let us know!

**Let's use the short window of opportunity and have a "Portray and Be Portrayed" session with beautiful cherry blossoms! 🌸** During this event, you'll experience both sides of the lens: being a photographer and a model. You'll work in small, autonomous groups of 3–4 people, rotating roles so there is only one active model at a time. ➔ Please only join if you're comfortable being photographed by other participants! **📅** **Itinerary** **14:00** \- we start at [Kirschblütenallee am Mauerweg](https://maps.app.goo.gl/imozwcZLGW96c3zt5), wait around 15 minutes for everyone to join, assemble the group, and start the event; **During an event**, you will be able to fully swap with members of other groups to maximize results **16:00** \- We all meet back at the starting point \- and go for a late lunch\. Location will be provided on the day of the event\. **📸** **Optional - Street Casting!** If there is enough interest, we might also introduce the elements of street casting into this event - meaning, we will be approaching people in the alley.

We meet and sketch each other in Berlin. This is just an art gym that we also exercise our social skills. Afterwards usually we go for lunch as a group. **How Does It Work?** This event is simple, we meet and sketch each other doing portraits. Most of the participants use pencils or watercolors. Main aim is to socialize while we draw. There will be plenty of time to talk and get to know each other. We have to mention that this event is suitable for all levels. Many have started to draw in our event actually. **Structure** A. Warmup Phase: We pose to each other for 1 minute. B. Main Phase: We pose to each other for 10 minutes. C. Showcase Phase: We show some of the drawings we did to each other. **Who We Are** Creative Sessions is an art events group located in Berlin. **Is it Free?** The event is free of charge. It is advisable to get a drink though. This is a cafe, we need to have at least half of the people on each table with a drink. They accept only cash and most hot drinks cost from 2.50 to 3.50. **How to help or donate?** The event is provided for free but many people help this be a regular thing.

A space for working on projects & learning new stuff together. 💻☕️ Please RSVP if you intend to join, as we have limited space. 😊

Curious what we do? Check our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/filmmakersandmovienerds/) ♥️ Would you like to meet some like-minded filmmakers? Start a project? Or do you need help with a movie you are currently working on? Are you new in the city and you'd like to meet people tinkering with movies? **Then you should join us!** We meet every Sunday. It’s important to us that we get to know each other in person. To create a community of connected people, work, learn and grow together. For film making you need a crew of reliable people with a positive can-do-attitude. This is the place to find them. Together, we will talk about these topics: * What you are currently working on * What you need help with * What would you like to help with * What you you would like to learn This is event is great for: * filmmakers * movie nerds * writers * camera operators * editors * actors * sound recorders * composers * gaffers * producers We are limiting the amount of people, so we can have a structured introduction and discussion. After that we get together loosely with some drinks and chats. And then we mostly go for dinner with a couple of us. **Important information**: *To sustain and grow this amazing community, we started a member contribution that is due every month. The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community. Of course you can come once or twice without contributing to check us out!*

We are excited to welcome our guest teacher, [Leticia Quirós](https://www.instagram.com/retaleh_/), again, who will be leading a new, incredible workshop! **Are you interested in exploring the body from a creative, symbolic and free perspective?** In this collage workshop, we will explore the theme of bodies as a space for expression, identity and transformation. Through cutting, layering and composition, we will create images that redefine our understanding of what a body is and what parts make it up. A workshop open to experimentation and play, so that the images have texture and a visual narrative. No previous experience is necessary. The only rule is that there are no rules. Come and be surprised by the papers, textures and creative power of your hands. **Details** * When: Friday, **24.04** from 6 PM to 8 PM. * Cost: €25 with **all materials included** (but feel free to bring magazines, flyers, newspapers or whatever material you would like to use during the workshop). * Location: Berlin Art Club, Friedrichshain. * Sign up: Please send us an e-mail to hola.berlinartclub@gmail.com. We will be waiting for you with something to drink and snacks to enjoy a relaxed evening together :) *Don’t forget to invite your friends!* Lu, Leti and the BAC.
