Open Draw
Kommt am 2. Montagabend im Monat ins Offene Wohnzimmer zum Open Draw!
Raucht Euch auch manchmal der Kopf von zu viel PC-Arbeit? Der Asphalt der Stadt ist heute wieder viel zu grau? Ihr würdet am liebsten mal wieder wild auf einem Blatt Papier rumklecksen oder gedankenverlorene Linien zeichnen?
Höchste Zeit zur Tat zu schreiten!
Wir wollen in entspannter Atmosphäre die kreativen Zellen auf Volldampf fahren und uns der Inspiration überlassen. Mit Musik im Hintergrund sowie Wein, Tee und Snacks im Repertoire wird dann gekleckst, gemalt, gezeichnet, geklebt, geredet und gelacht. Das Ganze kann sehr ambitioniert stattfinden, aber genauso zum Hirn-abschalten dienen. Austausch, Bilderswapping und gegenseitige Tipps/Kritik sind sehr willkommen.
Material stellen wir (Kreide, Bleistift, Wasserfarbe, Acrylfarbe, Pastellstifte, Kohle, Papierbögen, Spiegel, Postkarten, Zeichenbücher, Illustrierte).
Sujet kann alles sein: Der/die Tischnächste, der letzte Traum, oder der Feldhase Dürers. Technik auch: Von (Selbst)portrait über Stilleben bis zur Comiczeichnung soll alles abgedeckt werden.
Wir bieten jeden 2. Montag im Monat offene Treffen zum kreativen Arbeiten sowie gelegentlich technik- und themenbasierte Workshops an.
Wie immer wird um eine Spende für Raummiete/Material von 5-10€ gebeten.
Anmeldung: Katharinav.runnen@gmx.de

FLow - vocal soundbath and breathwork meditation + freestyle vocal session
🕢 Doors open at 18:30 and sessions start at 19:00.
Freestyle vocal workout at and play session. €8-20
😌 Flow is a state of being… an experience when you allow yourself to be 100% fully engaged in the present moment in a feedback loop between clarity and satisfaction. It is an undeniable sensation where things seem to be more effortless, pleasurable, in sync, and you can easily sense a connection with something greater than yourself; this is what we will create…:
• a connected and mindful meditation where it is possible to blissfully surf the cutting edge of the present moment together…
• a game where it’s possible to feel excited and calm in the same moment, and everyone can win as much as they like…
Scott Bolden, founder of Das Baumhaus Berlin will share some very easy, practical and effective methods developed during the last 12 years of facilitating the “Improvisational Groove Orchestra” (I.G.O.) improv vocal jam sessions.
Within 20 minutes participants learn to use the common sound space to create resonance in the form of improvisational music where it is quite common to experience some real flow moments…
It is very easy to participate, no musical talent or training is required so anyone is welcome to join. All of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space. During these sessions we will also have short breaks for feedback and refreshment.
Important – Please be on time. It is very important to understand the methodology and warm up in the group before joining in!
🎤 @21:00 - Freestyle vocal workshop and practice session.
€8-15
Have you ever wanted to learn how to do freestyle vocalizations? Maybe you are on your way and would like to just have a fun workout session with other vocal freestyle enthusiasts. All levels welcome.

Creating Opportunities as an Artist
**RSVP free on the [343 Labs website](https://343labs.de/events/pirita-masterclass/) to reserve your seat!**
In this masterclass, we’ll talk about how to create for yourself some of the growth opportunities you’ve been looking for in your artist career. Topics include hosting your own live show, songwriting/production, and monetizing your skills, among others.
**About the Artist:**
Pirita is an artist, songmaker and producer based in Berlin. She writes groovy, alternative pop with dark and ethereal tones, inspired by artists like The Weekend, Faouzia, Tame Impala, Cassyette and Hozier. Pirita independently organized her first ever Berlin show, “Melancholia”, in January 2026. The show introduced a darker and more melodramatic artist persona. She is now producing her first EP to mark the beginning of a new stylistic era. In the meanwhile she’s active on social media, posting her singing and development as an artist.

Bring a Song: A Music Listening Night
**Please note that we invite people through different channels, so there are more attendees than you can see here :)**
In The Discussion Experiment we usually meet to talk about relevant political, philosophical and personal topics, but sometimes we just want to have fun, therefore:
Let’s listen to music together!
What can we discover when we don’t just listen to music while doing something else, but with full focus?
What will catch our attention and how does the group setting change the experience?
At this event, we’ll take some time to listen to different songs, let them have an effect on us, and share whatever we care to put out there. After each piece of music, we will spend about 5 minutes in discussion.
You can spontaneously suggest songs to listen to but don’t stress about choosing the „right“ song!
From the most sophisticated masterpiece of music history to Aqua’s Barbie Girl, you can suggest whatever you are curious about that night. Or, in fact, you can just listen and not contribute actively, if that’s what you prefer.
Join us, it will be fun and we’ll do our very best to create a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Anyone and everyone is welcome!
**FAQ**
***What can I expect from the event?***
Each event is a an experiment so it’s difficult to predict exactly how it will play out.
This time it is all about listening to music together in silence and then share impressions. If we have more people than time for songs, we’ll draw lots to decide who gets to suggest one.
We want this to be a relaxed event. It’s not about picking out particularly unique or sophisticated songs to impress others. Any song you’re curious to hear the group’s thoughts on is good enough.
***Will the audio quality be amazing?***
No 🙂 It will be fine. We will stream the music and use ordinary speakers, so if you are a super duper hifi kind of person you might be disappointed.
***Do I have to speak? Do I have to suggest a song?***
No. It’s perfectly fine to just listen. You can decide for yourself at any time how active you want to be and will not be asked to speak. However, there might be a name round in the beginning.
***Who is this event for?***
This event is for anyone who is curious about it.
We aim to create spaces where people of all ages, identities, and backgrounds feel welcome.
You don’t need to prepare anything, have strong opinions, or be extroverted to take part.
***What’s the duration of the event?***
Each event lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. Feel welcome to stay a bit longer to finish the snacks, chat with other participants, and deepen the conversation.
***Is the venue wheelchair accessible?***
The venue is on the ground floor and accessible with wheelchairs. However, there are unfortunately no wheelchair-accessible bathrooms!
***What is "The Discussion Experiment"***
The Discussion Experiment is an ongoing series of events through which we continuously test methods that foster more meaningful and inspiring group conversations.
Among other things, we experiment with techniques that slow down discussions, improve clarity, and support participants in expressing their ideas more effectively.
This event however is less about discussing and more about exploring music together.
This event is co-organized by Kirstin Müller.
Read more about the whole project [on our website](https://diskussions-experiment.de/en/home/ "https://diskussions-experiment.de/en/home/"). The project is run by Igor Don and Maria Scholze.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Mapping and Dashboards
**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards**
In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these.
While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics.

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games!
The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
