Collaboration Between Creative Minds

A time to be creative together with others. **Bring whatever creative project you would like to work on** \- your sketchbook\, bullet\-journal\, crochet/knitting or embroidery project\, your creative writing piece\, etc\. The theme is your own free choice\. 👉 Participation is free but **at least one drink or food consumption is expected. 👈** There are materials available in the café if you currently don't have your own project.

In this 6 weeks long course and through engaging exercises and personalised feedback, you’ll have the opportunity to work on your ability to listen, react, and build compelling scenes with your scene partners based on the information that you already have, without the pressure of inventing something new every time. We’ll focus on emotional depth, character dynamics, status shifts, and finding the heart of every scene—whether it’s comedic, dramatic, or somewhere in between. Whether you're looking to perform or just want to sharpen your skills, this course will help you trust your choices and create scenes that truly connect! 📅: 16 March - 04 May (no class on 06 and 13 April) ⏰: 19:00 - 21:30 📍: GC Ten Noey 🪙: 210€ ***[✨Register here✨](https://buytickets.at/billykissaimprov/2071050)*** **Meet your instructor:** Billy Kissa is a professional Greek actress on scripted and Improvised Theater, based in Brussels.She has been traveling the world performing, directing and teaching adults and kids.

**Small Joys, Long Visual Stories — A Moving Panorama Workshop** On the United Nations International Day of Happiness, the Brussels Creativity Lab invites you to slow down and take a closer look at joy. In this workshop we’ll explore happiness not as a grand finale, but as something quietly unfolding over time. Together, we’ll work with the moving panorama — an early storytelling art form and ancestor of cinema — to tell stories that stretch small moments into long visual journeys. A moving panorama is a hand-cranked storytelling device: a long illustrated scroll wound onto two spools and viewed through a small window as it slowly unrolls. In this workshop, you’ll be guided to create a short story, visualise it on a long piece of paper, and construct a simple cardboard viewing box to bring it to life. Our focus will be on small joys, long stories: Stories built from tiny pleasures: a shared laugh, light through a window, a familiar route through the city. By drawing these moments out across the length of the scroll, the panorama becomes a way to slow happiness down so it can be noticed. Expect a hands-on, playful session where experimentation is encouraged and artistic skill is not a prerequisite. You’ll meet others, exchange ideas, and discover how storytelling, rhythm, and movement can reveal joy hiding in plain sight. Come curious, leave with a story — and maybe a new way of noticing happiness as it gently unfolds. All materials will be provided. **Ticket: €5 in cash at the door.** Ticket covers cost of materials and some snacks. **To help our lovely hosts at Unity Bookshop continue supporting community events like this, a small donation on the day would be greatly appreciated.** **::::Agenda::::** \- 18:00 Arrival & Welcome \- 18:30 Start of session
 \- 20:00 Closing followed with networking **::: Location:::** Unity Bookshop, Chau. de Wavre 331, 1040 Etterbeek

Communication is everything in life! You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate. 1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024

The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
