Dinner and a Movie

**Touch and Move: Improvising Contact, creating Community** with ***Jochen Kleres and/or Zahiro Ji*** for **GBTQ men\*** **[BOOK A TICKET!](https://wearevillage.org/en/calendar/)** **Member: 10 €** **Regular: 15 €** This is a class for GBTQ men\* with all levels of experience, from total newbies to advanced. We meet and begin by checking in with each other, followed by a guided exploration moving from somatic practice to contact dance improvisation. This all culminates in opening the space for the free flow of dancing and explorations in duos, trios and as a group. Bodywork will help us to warm down at the end and integrate what we experienced. Dance is our way to create a space for exploration: what happens when queer men’s bodies meet and get in touch without any expectations and intentions? In Contact Improvisation, touch is the source of finding dance movements. It helps you to be open to the here and now, to surprises, to letting go of performing roles, meeting expectations, and following scripts. Any movement can be part of this dance, no matter how simple – we literally move any way we feel. This creates a conversation without words, simply through our moving bodies. Feeling ourselves by sensing others can create nourishing bonds of community as much as it liberates us. We emphasise consensus, respect, diversity of people and energies, listening, and a non-judgmental space. **General Information** \- Wear comfortable clothes\. \- We’ll speak English and/or German\, depending on the needs of the group\. 🔵 Dies ist ein Kurs für GBTQ Männer\* mit allen Erfahrungsstufen, von absoluten Neulingen bis zu Fortgeschrittenen. Wir treffen uns und beginnen mit einem gegenseitigen Kennenlernen, gefolgt von einer angeleiteten Erkundung, die von somatischer Praxis zu Kontakttanzimprovisationen führt. Von hier aus öffnen wir den Raum für den freien Fluss des Tanzes und der Erkundungen in Duos, Trios und als Gruppe. Mit Hilfe von Bodywork wärmen wir uns zum Schluss auf und integrieren das Erlebte. Tanz ist unsere Art, einen Raum für Erkundungen zu schaffen: Was passiert, wenn sich die Körper queerer Männer treffen und ohne Erwartungen und Absichten in Berührung kommen? In der Contact Improvisation ist die Berührung der Ursprung, um Tanzbewegungen zu entdecken. Sie hilft dir, offen zu sein für das Hier und Jetzt, für Überraschungen, für das Loslassen von Rollen, Erwartungen und Vorschriften. Jede Bewegung kann Teil dieses Tanzes sein, egal wie einfach – wir bewegen uns so, wie wir uns tatsächlich fühlen. So entsteht eine Konversation ohne Worte, einfach durch unsere bewegten Körper. Uns selbst zu spüren, indem wir andere spüren, kann ein ebenso wertvolles Gemeinschaftsgefühl, wie ein Gefühl von Befreiung schaffen. Wir legen Wert auf Konsens, Respekt, die Vielfalt der Menschen und Energien, das Zuhören und einen urteilsfreien Raum. **Hinweise** \- Trage bequeme Kleidungen \- Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe werden wir Deutsch und/oder Englisch sprechen\.

🎄**This Christmas: If You’re Not Going Home, Come Eat With Me** *A Vietnamese homecooked supper for anyone staying in Berlin this holiday season.* **Welcome to homecooked stories by Trang** This December, I’m hosting a special edition for those of us who are staying in Berlin — whether you don’t celebrate Christmas, can’t travel home, or simply want a cozy evening around a shared table. **The Story** I’ve lived in Europe for almost 13 years, and every December brings the same familiar question:*“What am I going to do for Christmas this year?”* It’s not my holiday, but the city changes — friends travel, families gather, and Berlin becomes unusually still. I’ve always found myself caught between loving the quiet… and feeling the low note of everyone else having a place to belong. Over time, I created my own tradition: Every Christmas, I cook myself a feast. Not because I plan to eat everything, but because the act of cooking makes me feel at home again. Sometimes it’s just me. Sometimes one friend. Sometimes a small group of people who also aren’t going anywhere. Slowly, my home became a *home away from home* for friends spending the holidays in Berlin. This year, I’m opening that table to you too. **Event details** A Vietnamese family-style meal, following the Northern tradition: **một mặn · một canh · một rau** (one savory/protein dish · one soup · one vegetable) And because it’s Christmas, we’ll add: ✨ an extra savory dish ✨ a small sweet dessert The menu is made of dishes that appear again and again on my family’s table during the first meal after I arrive home: * **Canh khoai tây cà rốt hầm xương** Potato & carrot soup simmered with pork bones * **Thịt kho tàu** Braised pork belly & eggs, glossy and rich * **Xíu mại sốt cà chua** Vietnamese-style meatballs in tomato sauce * **Bắp cải luộc + nước mắm gừng** Boiled cabbage with ginger fish sauce — humble, clean, comforting * A **small, sweet surprise dessert** No vegan or vegetarian option will be available for this dinner. **Good to Know** **📍 Location:** Pankow, Berlin (M2 tram stop Prenzlauer Promenade/Am Steinberg — exact address shared after RSVP) **🗓 Date:** * **Thursday, December 18 — Dinner,** 19:00–22:00, OR * **Sunday, December 21 — Lunch,** 12:30–15:30, OR * **Thursday, December 25 — Lunch,** 12:30–15:30 **💶 Contribution:** €40 per person (includes multi-course dinner, soft drinks/tea assortments/water & experience) **👥 Seats:** Limited to guests each event Payment link will be shared after RSVP confirmation.

Join us as we get together for an Oscar Watch film that’s also one of the year’s best: MARTY SUPREME! Timothee Chalamet delivers a “career-best performance” in this film that follows a young man with a dream no one respects, who goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness. Marty Supreme has already been named a Top 10 Film of the Year by IndieWire, Vulture, the BBC, Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair, the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute and is well on its way to being one of the most nominated films at this year’s Oscars! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: This ping pong drama is set in New York City during the 1950s where table tennis star Marty goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness. It is loosely based on the life of famed table tennis player Marty Reisman. The film is directed (and co-written) by Josh Safdie and stars Timothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYSHiII4D-Y EARLY BUZZ & REVIEWS: The film premiered to “overwhelmingly positive” reviews at this year’s New York Film Festival! Timothee Chalamet immediately shot to the top of the Best Actor race with a “career best performance” in a film described as an “awe inspiring cinematic tour-de-force!” Others call it, “an absolute blast of adrenaline” and a “pure delight,” “that soars from start to finish!” The film is earning a Certified Fresh 96% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where Variety calls it, “one of the year’s few masterpieces!” Slash Film declares, “This is unquestionably the best performance of Timothée Chalamet's career, and Marty Supreme is one of the best movies of the year. I can't wait to watch it again!” PLAN: We’ll plan for a 4pm-ish showing and will meet inside the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but be sure to mention you're with the Movie Group for admission and concession discounts!

Seating is limited so separate RSVP required for the Brunch portion of this event. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
