Hey folks, WE ARE BACK AGAIN! This Badminton meet-up is for ALL levels: beginners - advanced - experts. Everyone is welcome to join and test their skills and have some fun together. The organiser will reserve courts in advance - PLEASE ONLY REGISTER IF YOU REALLY PLAN TO COME (OR CANCEL ASAP IF SOMETHING CAME UP) SO WE HAVE CORRECT NUMBERS. Late cancelation (before 24 hours) or no show would be asked to pay. We are meeting at about 6:50 pm near the reception by the lounge. Come a bit earlier so you have time to change into workout/sports clothes. Also, bring clean indoor sports shoes and a water bottle with you. The organiser will be at the club about 10 min. ahead of time and pay for all - please pay the organiser after/before the event!! Cost is 22€ per court, the fee should be around 6€. It is possible to rent rackets from the club, if necessary (3€). Sometimes members have spare rackets - please ask. Enjoy!

***Is there an objective standard of good aesthetic taste?*** *Or is it just a matter of subjective preferences? Can those preferences be authentic, or are they shaped by social pressures and imitation?* In this session of **Marginal Thoughts**, we will explore whether aesthetic taste can be evaluated or whether it remains irreducibly subjective. Before challenging the maxim that there is “no accounting for taste”, we will engage with the view of the philosopher David Hume by watching a short video and - ideally - reading his essay on the topic: * [Short video by Dr. Elie Anderson](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOSDwPtvjzA), summarizing Hume's essay (\~11 min) * Optional but highly recommended: Hume's essay "The Standard of Taste" in either the [version lightly edited for accessibility](https://www.earlymoderntexts.com/assets/pdfs/hume1757essay2.pdf) or in its [original version](https://davidhume.org/texts/empl1/st) (\~45 min) Here we will see Hume not only account for taste, but give a 5-point checklist of what a good judge of taste must possess. Could it really be so simple?! **How to prepare** Watching the video would be the minimal preparation, whereas additionally reading the essay is ideal but can be skipped in a pinch. As you engage with the material, try to identify at least one point of curiosity, confusion, or uncertainty - these will be natural starting points for our discussion. **What to expect** This is an in-person, conversational meetup in English. The goal isn't to debate or lecture - it’s to explore ideas and leave with better questions than we arrived with.

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.

*Included in the new [Tango Learning Pass](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/tango-learning-pass/) –* A grounded, embodied approach to Tango Argentino for beginners building foundations and improvers seeking clarity, depth, and freedom. **Every Sunday (except during our Tango Immersion Weekends)**, we explore the essentials of Tango Argentino focusing not only on what to do, but on how and why we move the way we do in this dance. ✨ **No previous experience required**, just curiosity to work with essential principles that allow you to understand the Tango Argentino language sooner, and adapt easier to real social dance situations. **✨ Experienced dancers refine technique and efficiency of their movements** ✨ **You can come with or without a dance partner**, and learn the role(s) of your choice (Jessica encourages to learn both). ✨ **Each class is followed by our Focused Práctica**, a guided practice gathering for all levels, where you can take time to socialize and integrate what you learned, ask questions, receive feedback, and practice in a relaxed and supportive environment. ### **Dates & Time** **Sundays** (except during the Tango Immersion intensive weekends \* check [agenda](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/#agenda) for specific dates) **19:00–20:00** Tango Basics Class **20:00–22:00** Practice Gathering with feedback ### **📍 Location** EWTO Akademie – **Breitenseer Straße 6, 1140 Wien** ### **Registration** Drop-in possible. Registration at jessicagerdel.com is recommended. **The [Tango Learning Pass](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/tango-learning-pass/) includes all our weekly classes (Wednesday and this Sunday course) and the practice sessions.** €20 per person per class €15 per person per Guided Practice session €85 pack of 4 classes in a row + Guided Practice sessions after each class Young students and people with limited income can request a 20% partial scholarship via email or in person. PS. This course doesn't include classes on April 19th, May 17th, June 21st and July 19th because of Jessica's [Tango Immersion](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/tangoimmersion) Weekends. She'll guide you on which workshops are suitable for beginners if you want to join us those weekends too. **Teaching approach** Spoiler alert: This is not about copying and memorizing steps. Jessica's teaching focus is on body awareness, connection, and developing good habits from the start — so what you learn works in real social dance situations and truly supports your dance in the long term. **Check out more about her work at [jessicagerdel.com](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/) and on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/tangoimmersion/)/[Instagram](http://www.instagram.com/abrazatango): Abrazatango.** Looking forward to seeing you there!

Something you won't wanna miss! Latin Grammy nominee and winner of the prestigious Mercedes Sosa and Carlos Gardel awards will delight us with their live music to dance, listen, and enjoy! This Wednesday we welcome Hugo Satorre and Emiliano Faryna at Milonga Itinerante! This time in Galeria Ideal (Itinerante means this is a nomad Milonga, taking place at varied locations in town). We could highlight their extensive path in the tango scene in Buenos Aires and abroad, and how stunning it is to enjoy their mastery live. Or the recognitions they’ve got in Argentina and internationally. What makes them ultra special, though, is the deep and felt connection they create... Between them and the audience, and between dancers. Many in the Vienna tango scene have experienced them in past editions of the Milonga Itinerante and await their visit every year. Are you ready to get transported to Buenos Aires with their music? **See you on May 6th at 20:00!** **This time at Galeria Ideal** **Geibelgasse 14-16, 1150 Wien** TDJ Don Xello **New to Milonga Itinerante?** Its name means it takes place at varied locations in town. Always varied, always fresh, it’s a welcoming space that brings together dancers from different backgrounds, who enjoy tango music, meeting new people and experiencing tango as a living culture. If you’ve missed it, now it’s your chance! **Get your tickets [here](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/duo-faryna-satorre-vienna) or at the door.** Booked in advance on the website €20, at the door €25

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

# **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.

**Was würde mehr Geld für dein Leben bedeuten?** * Mehr Sicherheit? * Mehr Möglichkeiten? * Mehr Selbstbestimmung? Was auch immer es für dich bedeutet – du weißt, dass es dein Leben positiv beeinflussen würde. Und trotzdem bleibt das Thema Geldanlage oft liegen - weil es komplex wirkt. Unklar. Überfordernd. * Wo fange ich an? * Wie viel soll ich einsetzen? * Was ist die richtige Veranlagung? * Wie schätze ich Risiko ein? In diesem Workshop geht es nicht darum, alles zu wissen. Sondern darum, zu verstehen, was für dich sinnvoll ist - und was nicht. Wir sprechen offen über Unsicherheit, Unwissenheit und Ängste - und schaffen emotionale Entlastung, damit Orientierung entstehen kann. * **Teil 1 – Verstehen, was uns zurückhält (Gruppenformat & Safe Space)** * **Teil 2 – Ins Tun kommen** Du bekommst: * einen klaren Überblick darüber, was dein Geld grundsätzlich tun sollte * einfache nächste Schritte, die zu deinem Leben passen Denn innere Sicherheit entsteht nicht durch immer mehr Information, sondern durch Klarheit. Wenn du weißt, was für dich richtig ist, verändert sich auch das Gefühl: * Aus Unsicherheit entsteht Zuversicht. * ⁠Aus Angst wächst Motivation. * Aus Aufschieben werden konkrete Schritte. Dieser Workshop ist für Frauen, die ihre finanzielle Zukunft bewusst gestalten möchten. **Ort:** Bruno-Marek-Allee 22, 1020 Wien **Kosten:** freiwillige Spende **Hinweis:** Das ist eine Workshop- und Informationsveranstaltung, es gibt keine Produktempfehlungen.
