The excitement, the fun, the drama - experience Maestro Impro(TM), the most famous theatresports format across the world! Improvisors from Vienna’s vibrant improv scene will be joined by international guests to fight for the audience’s favor. The show has an elimination structure, where randomly chosen improvisors play scenes with each other. The directors set up the scenes, which will be scored by the audience. The players given the highest scores continue while those with lower numbers leave the show. This goes on for several rounds until only one improvisor remains - the Maestro. You can also be part of the show - if you want! The directors will host a free warm-up workshop for all contestants to get to know each other. And we invite everyone to join us for this workshop. At the end, we will ask for volunteers and pick a few participants to go on stage with the already set cast. This offer is open for all levels of impro, even beginners! This time the warm-up will be led by our directors Shawn Fisher and Hanna Scharf- If you do not get selected, you will need a ticket to see the show. And since there can only be a few lucky ones, we advise you to buy your tickets now (you get your money back if you are selected): [Buy Ticket](https://maestro.viennaimprov.org/)[!](https://www.yesticket.org/event/de/maestro-impro-comedy-show-08-11-22/) You need to RSVP to this event if you want to participate in the warm-up! The participation in the warm-up does not guarantee a spot in the show, it only gets you a chance.

***Is a strong sense of personal identity helpful in understanding the world and others?*** *Or does it inevitably distort what we see? How much can we shape our identity and how should it be done?* In this session of **Marginal Thoughts**, we will consider the role of personal identity - 'the self' - in making sense of the world. Before our different selves make sense of this topic, we'll read three short pieces: * A short story by Andy Weir: ["The Egg"](https://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg.html) (\~10 min; alternative: [animated adaptation by Kurzgesagt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6fcK_fRYaI)) * An essay by Paul Graham: ["Keep Your Identity Small"](https://paulgraham.com/identity.html) (\~8 min) * A poem by Stanley Kunitz: ["The Layers"](https://poets.org/poem/layers) (\~2 min) In these, Andy Weir diagnoses the universe with multiple personality disorder, Paul Graham urges people to do a 'Marie Kondo' on their identities, and Stanley Kunitz likens himself to a lasagna. **How to prepare** Please read all the materials in advance. As you do, 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, lecture, or "confess" - it’s to explore ideas and leave with better questions than we arrived with. **Optional stuff for the extra curious** Julia Galef in her book ["The Scout Mindset"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scout_Mindset) examines the relationship between identity and truth-seeking, and expands on the idea of keeping one's identity small (the most relevant chapter is also the topic of [this animated short](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxqTOm3TzsY)). When it comes to identity, Borges made it too difficult to choose a single piece (e.g., "The Nothingness of Personality", "Borges and I", "The Other", etc.). For the interested, [this Marginalian article](https://www.themarginalian.org/2017/04/03/the-nothingness-of-personality-borges/) offers a tempting rabbit hole of links.

**You’re neurodivergent? A parent? In Vienna?** Parenting can be a lot — and even more so when your brain works a little differently. But you don’t have to be alone with this. Don’t miss the upcoming meetup for neurodivergent parents — kids play, adults connect. Gentle space, real talk, no pressure 🌱 📍 Join us in Stadtpark Your host: Jennifer M.S. Granic, a mother of two — 14 and 4-year-old — kids and an educator both freelance and for the Bildungsdirektion Wien. **✨ What to expect:** * A relaxed, peer-led hangout — not a workshop, not a therapy session. * Conversations that ebb and flow naturally, shaped by whoever’s present. * A child-friendly setting that still centers adult connection. * Space to be quiet or chatty, tired or upbeat — all modes welcome. * English-speaking, but language fluency isn’t a requirement. Deutsch reden wir sicher auch. * Bring a blanket and some snacks, and whatever makes you feel comfortable. Let’s make space for each other — and for ourselves. 🌿 ℹ️ **ALL INFO: PLEASE READ THE GROUP DESCRIPTION** ℹ️ See you soon!

\*\*\*only 10 spots available\*\*\* If you are familiar with high performance, and human potential, you already know that the nervous system is not a peripheral topic. It is the substrate. Focus, creativity, emotional intelligence, the capacity for genuine connection, the quality of leadership, making good decisions under pressure — all of it is downstream of the state your nervous system is operating in at any given moment. Especially expats who have spent years navigating relocation, high stakes, and constantly adapt to new environments, the nervous system carries a specific signature. Research confirms that elevated cortisol, disrupted sleep, degraded executive function appear especially in populations who consider themselves performing well, because the performance continues even as the foundation slowly depletes. The next level of performance does not come from pushing harder. It comes from addressing what is running underneath: the nervous system itself. Regulation is the physiological prerequisite for clear thinking, genuine connection, and sustainable output. When you operate from a regulated baseline, decisions sharpen, leadership deepens, creativity flows, and the driven quality of your ambition stops costing you what it currently costs. At this LibaTea circle, we explore how high achievers can move from chronic high-arousal functioning to a more powerful operating state, where drive and recovery reinforce each other rather than compete. This is a group of ambitious, internationally-minded people engaging seriously with the science and practice of nervous system regulation. **You will explore:** \- Why high achievers and expats carry a specific and measurable nervous system load \- What polyvagal theory and allostatic load research actually mean for how you perform \- What genuine regulation looks like — beyond stress management and temporary relief \- How your nervous system state shapes the quality of every decision\, conversation\, and creative act This circle is for professionals, founders and expats who want to operate with more depth, clarity, and long-term capacity. **Event flow (\~90 minutes):** Arrival & welcome Breath & tea Guided reflection rounds Closing integration **A practical note:** Spots are limited to 10 people. A recommended contribution is 10€ / person. To stay updated on this and following events, you can join our WhatsApp Group: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/GmcaSqxOKqrKBeQVkKK2AW?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GmcaSqxOKqrKBeQVkKK2AW?mode=gi_t) **About LibaTea:** LibaTea is a community exploring depth, growth, and genuine connection through conversation and ritual. We host weekly tea circles and monthly masterminds for thoughtful people who take their inner lives as seriously as their outer ones. **Why tea?** Tea rituals have been used for centuries to create presence and slow thinking down enough for something real to emerge. We use that principle to create the conditions for conversations worth having.

Come join for some live performances and great beer. I've called the venue and booked a table. Sooooooo unfortunately this one might have to be limited to 8 people. Hope to see you there :)

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
