The next **Pitch and Planning Session** will be on **Feb 15th at 19:00.** We are super looking forward to hearing your pitches and watching you meet people ready to help you make your films a reality in the really real world! 📍The event is located at **House of Music** in RAW Gelande, Revalerstr 99, 10245 Berlin . A very large and amazing space that we are now calling home. For those who are new, our Pitch and Planning Session is a monthly English language event held here in Berlin for people who have an idea for a film and would like to pitch it, as well as those people who are eager to work on films. It's all about getting films made. If you have a film idea that is burning a hole in your brain, tell the people in the audience your story idea and hopefully you will meet people who can help you make your idea into a reality! This event is also for people who want to help out in all aspects of filmmaking to help make these pitches happen. So if your passion is camera, sound, hair and makeup, writing, lighting, fighting, or anything that could help, you are always welcome. Whether you're new to filmmaking or experienced and want to work on something cool and creative, no matter what your area of expertise/interest is, this is for you! Be sure to show up to either pitch your idea or be ready to listen to some interesting pitches from excited people and potentially help someone make their film. Let's make some cool shit! If you still want more information you can head on over to our website: *https://berlinfilmcommunity.com/pitch_and_planning/* I have been a part of making some of these pitched projects into real world movies and I have always had a blast.

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.

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!*

This group is for everyone who is interested in drawing portraits! For me, drawing has been a wonderful way to gain a new perspective on the world and the people within it. Whether you are just starting out or have been drawing for ages — all levels are welcome :) How it works: 1\. We meet at The Castle pub in Mitte and do short sittings of 15 minutes for each other\. The first sitting is divided into 3 warm\-up sketches\, 5 minutes each\. 2\. Before we start\, everybody writes their name on a blank card \(provided by the organizer\); these cards are then used to randomly pick the model every 15 minutes\. 3\. Usually we do 8 sittings\, with a 15\-minute break in the middle \(so after 4 sittings\, or 1 hour\)\. -> The participation is free, but it is expected that everybody orders something from the bar to support the lovely location. Get out your pencils and let's start! Please bring your own art supplies!

*Photo and drawing: © Alessia Sinopoli* This workshop is aimed at anyone who wishes to explore realistic pencil portrait drawing from photographic references through a structured method, and wants to learn or refine pencil hatching and shading techniques. The workshop is designed for a small group, allowing a flexible and supportive approach, adapting to each participant’s level: from guiding beginners to helping experienced artists tackle their personal creative challenges. Without the pressure of achieving a final result, we will immerse ourselves in learning the method and enjoying the creative process. You will train the ability to truly observe a face, and the practical tools to translate it effectively into an authentic, realistic portrait. **What we’ll do... step by step:** We’ll combine theory and practice. * Practice targeted observation to select the best reference photo * Use the grid method for accurate proportions and create a preliminary sketch * Understand the differences between pencils of various hardness and get familiar with the materials we’ll use * Master shading (the real magic!) with hatching techniques to shape volume and depth * Train your observational skills to recognize different tonal values * Explore changing perspectives to refresh your vision * Discuss common mistakes and learn how to avoid them * Participate in an open Q&A, receive personalized tips, and get feedback throughout the process * Learn how to preserve and protect your finished portrait **Breaks and Refreshments** While drawing, we’ll enjoy some tea. Between the first and second parts of the workshop, we’ll take a relaxing 30-minute break, as drawing can be quite intense. It’ll be the perfect moment to connect, share a cup of coffee, and savor a slice of cake together. And since it’s the pre-festive season, this time the cake will be Italian panettone, to add a touch of pre-Christmas cheer! **Location** The workshop takes place here at Kunstraum Heartspace, a bright and inspiring shared studio. It’s welcoming and filled with creative energy. **Booking** => Max. 8 people => Level: Beginners and all levels => Technique: Pencils on paper => All materials provided: Paper, pencils, precision eraser, reference photos => Price: €45 per person => **[Book here: https://alessiasinopoli.it/portrait-workshop/](https://alessiasinopoli.it/portrait-workshop/)** **Questions?** Contact alessiasinopoli.arte@gmail.com

Guided, interactive, and open-ended. You’ll be offered simple prompts and situations that unfold moment by moment, shaped by the group rather than a fixed plan. ​The exact form stays a surprise. What’s certain is a light, well-held group space where you can experiment, react, and build something together.. without pressure to perform, be funny, or get it right. ​No experience needed. You can jump in, take a step back, or observe when needed. Participation is always opt-in. *** ## ​**​Today's guide** ​Today’s session is held by a Berlin-based artist and facilitator working across live performance and group-based creative work. He has led sessions for institutions such as DIE GORILLAS and the Berliner Volkshochschule, and regularly works with both performers and non-performers. ​His approach is less about instruction and more about attunement, sensing the group, responding in the moment, and creating a space that feels playful, human, and low-pressure.  ## ​**​**Practical notes * ​**Clothing**: Comfortable clothing recommended. We’ll be indoors; bring a warm layer. * ​**Beverages**: Light beverages provided (please eat beforehand). You might want to bring your own water bottle. Strictly no alcohol allowed. * ​**Health & pregnancy:** Any involved movement is gentle and voluntary. * ​**Accessibility:** Ground floor, wheelchair accessible. * ​**Bring a +1:** You can purchase a ticket for friends via Luma or they can book their own ticket separately. * ​**Children**: This session is designed for adults.

In such cases, we’re open to **reimbursing your ticket**, even after the session has started. ***  ## ​**​**What is Uncommon Club? ​Uncommon Club creates guided group sessions built around shared novelty, doing something unfamiliar together, in a way that feels safe, human, and intentional. ​We believe that when people step into a new experience at the same time, without knowing exactly what will happen, habits soften, curiosity opens, and connection becomes more natural. ​That’s why Uncommon Club sessions are: * ​carefully guided and consent-led, * ​designed around presence rather than performance, * ​and kept partly a surprise. *** ## ​What Uncommon Club **is**, and **isn’t** ​**Uncommon Club is:** * ​✅ A guided, facilitator-led group experience * ​✅ Focused on curiosity, embodiment, and human connection * ​✅ Structured, consent-led, and psychologically safe ​**Uncommon Club is not:** * ​❌ A party or club night * ​❌ An intense fitness class * ​❌ A networking or dating event * ​❌ A sexual setting * ​❌ Therapy or counselling *** ## ​How our sessions work ​Every Uncommon Club session is carefully guided and unfolds in phases ​**Phase 1️⃣ — Arrival** Arrive, settle, and land in the space and group. ​**Phase 2️⃣ — Warm-up** Gentle invitations help you arrive in your body and the moment. ​**Phase 3️⃣ — Exploration** The heart of the session. Playful, embodied and surprising. ​**Phase 4️⃣ — Reflection** We slow things down and let the experience settle. ​**Phase 5️⃣ — Connection** A clear closing moment, with space to linger.. or leave quietly.  ## ​**​**Frequently Asked Questions ​**❓ Who is Uncommon Club for?** Uncommon Club is for any adult. You don't need to be a performer or social butterfly, just someone open to exploring horizons beyond the everyday. ​**❓ What if I realize I don't want to participate?** That's fine. A "no" is as bold as a "yes". You can always step back or observe instead of joining in, and this will be explained and emphasised at the start of every experience. ​**❓ I struggle with strangers. Will it be awkward?** Our guides are trained in spaceholding and use a unique event process to make connection flow easily and naturally. It's structured so that everyone feels included without pressure. ​For more FAQ's, please visit our website: [https://www.uncommon.club/](https://www.uncommon.club/) *** ## ​Safety, boundaries & wellbeing * ​Participation is always voluntary. * ​You can opt out of any exercise at any time. * ​Clear boundaries are held throughout. * ​An empathy angel is present, someone you can approach anytime if you’d like to talk. * ​We recommend leaving a little space before and after the session. Not because it’s intense, but because embodied experiences tend to land better when you’re not rushing. * ​Uncommon Club welcomes people of all backgrounds and bodies. Diversity is the fabric of our experiences. * ​Please read more in our [Community Guidelines](https://www.uncommon.club/community-guidelines). *** ## ​Disclaimer * ​Uncommon Club sessions are creative group experiences, not therapy. * ​If you’re currently going through an acute or overwhelming personal situation, we recommend sitting this one out and seeking appropriate support. * ​If you’re unsure whether this session is right for you, feel free to reach out via hello@uncommon.club. We’re happy to help you decide safely. *** ## ​Photography & privacy * ​We care about privacy. * ​Please don’t take photos or videos of others. * ​Uncommon Club may capture a few atmosphere shots only with clear consent. *** ## ​More information ​Instagram: [@uncommonclub.berlin](https://www.instagram.com/uncommonclub.berlin/) Website: [www.uncommon.club](http://www.uncommon.club/) Email: [hello@uncommon.club](https://mailto:hello@uncommon.club/) Blasts [Uncommon Club](https://luma.com/user/usr-zfFBmbmComnOuye) [Feb 3, 11:00 PM](https://luma.com/blast/N6FX6uAhxW) ## Evolving our concept and pricing ​We want to share a small evolution in how Uncommon Club sessions are offered. ​Until now, every Uncommon Club session was a complete surprise. Going forward, we’ll work with a mix of Open sessions **⚪️**, where the format and facilitator are shared in advance and Surprise sessions **🟣** where you step in without knowing what will unfold. ​Our intention remains unchanged: creating spaces for you to feel human again. During our events you enter with curiosity, trust the process and experience something new. This change simply offers more choice in how you step in. ​You may also have noticed a change in our pricing. We’ve decided to lower prices for future sessions to make it easier to return and easier to say yes, while keeping the same level of care and attention in the space. ​Because you signed up at the original price, we want to acknowledge that. If you’d like to join a future session, just reach out to us and we’ll make sure you receive a **50% discount**. ​Thank you for being there from the beginning. ​Your Uncommon Club team, ​Joost, Oktay and Jonel
