• Supporting your scene partner

Each session includes warm-ups, group exercises, improv games, and scene practice. Participants will receive personal feedback throughout the course.

Park Workout and Martial Arts
We'll start off the session with a run in Gleisdreieck park that might include scaling some walls, visiting a few sites in the area to explore their opportunities for climbing and balancing, or going up or down stairs in unusual ways. After the outdoors bit, we come back to our gym where we focus on building strength, working as a group, and learning basic martial arts techniques. We are a small, accessible, mixed-gender, queer-friendly group open to anyone, without any prior knowledge or specific degree of fitness required. Our martial art is Jutaijutsu, a traditional Japanese one focused on self-defence.

Once indoors, we train barefoot. The first three Meetups are free of charge.

**Soften, Observe, Allow: Writing the Body**
This workshop invites you into a gentle, embodied approach to language. Rooted in somatic practice and my Body Noise methodology, we move through breathwork, voice activation, and guided reflection, generating new text through movement, word association, and response to prompts and poetic indices.

As a facilitator, Dumama is interested in how people can show up in their entirety—without shame or judgment—and allow multidimensional texts to emerge in relation to the present moment. The workshop moves as a kind of care lab, where participants can collectively be with what is here, softly, together. Through prompts, free writing, and optional sharing, Gugu holds space for writing as a practice of care, release, and self-attunement.
*This workshop is free. Participatns are encouraged to bring a donation to support the artist.*
**Words and stories reside within all of us, waiting to be discovered.**
Our monthly Open Writing Circle invites people with all levels of writing experience to explore their creativity and imagination.
In each session, one of Berlin’s many exceptional writers, poets, artists, or curators will create a vibrant and collective learning experience.
Whether you’re interested in fiction, memoir, non-fiction, or poetry, this supportive space encourages you to uncover the words within you. We’ll draw upon techniques used in writing workshops to unleash your innate talent in a collaborative environment that will allow for a dynamic exchange of ideas and insights.
This workshop aims to create an affirming, playful and empowering space for queer people to explore, express and celebrate their identities as well as to provide a platform for the stories of the LGBTQIA+ community to be shared, heard and valued.

Durch Bewegung, Wortassoziationen sowie das Schreiben als Antwort auf Impulse und poetische Anker entstehen neue Texte.
Als Facilitatorin interessiert sich Dumama dafür, wie wir in unserer Ganzheit erscheinen können – ohne Scham oder Urteil – und wie mehrdimensionale Texte in Beziehung zum gegenwärtigen Moment entstehen dürfen. Dieser Workshop bewegt sich wie eine Art Care-Labor: ein Raum, in dem wir kollektiv mit dem sein können, was gerade da ist – sanft, gemeinsam. Durch Impulse, Freewriting und optionales Teilen hält Gugu den Raum für Schreiben als Praxis von Fürsorge, Loslassen und Selbstabstimmung.
Dieser Workshop ist kostenlos. Die Teilnehmenden sind eingeladen, eine Spende mitzubringen, um die Künstlerin zu unterstützen.
**Worte und Geschichten wohnen in uns allen und warten darauf, entdeckt zu werden.**
* Unser monatlicher offener Schreibkreis lädt Menschen mit allen Erfahrungsstufen im Schreiben ein, ihre Kreativität und Fantasie zu erforschen.In jeder Sitzung wird eine der vielen außergewöhnlichen schreibenden, dichtenden oder künstlerisch tätigen Personen Berlins ein lebendiges und kollektives Lernerlebnis gestalten.
* Ob du dich für Fiktion, Memoiren, Sachbücher oder Poesie interessierst, dieser unterstützende Raum ermutigt dich, die Worte in deinem Inneren zu entdecken. Wir werden Techniken aus Schreibworkshops nutzen, um dein angeborenes Talent in einer kollaborativen Umgebung zu entfesseln, die einen dynamischen Austausch von Ideen und Einsichten ermöglicht.
* Dieser Workshop zielt darauf ab, einen bestärkenden, spielerischen und ermächtigenden Raum für queere Menschen zu schaffen, um ihre Identitäten zu erforschen, auszudrücken und zu feiern, sowie eine Plattform zu bieten, auf der die Geschichten der LGBTQIA+-Gemeinschaft geteilt, gehört und wertgeschätzt werden können.

Art Night - Bring Your Own Work
Welcome to the Art School - 20's & 30's artists Meetup group! This is a community for young artists who are passionate about exploring different mediums and techniques in the world of art. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, photographer, or mixed media artist, this group is the perfect place to connect with like-minded individuals, have a space to work on your craft, and showcase your work. Let's inspire and support each other on our artistic journeys! Whether you're a novice or a seasoned artist, all skill levels are welcome. Join us and unleash your creativity!
This month we will be discussing **Frank Santoro**, an American cartoonist, painter, and comics critic known for his expressive lines, experimental page layouts, and vibrant use of color. His graphic novels—including *Storeyville*, *Pompeii*, and *Pittsburgh*—blend personal storytelling with innovative visual structure, often exploring memory, place, and relationships. In addition to his comics, Santoro has been an influential voice in comics education and criticism, co-founding the magazine *ComicsComics* and creating the **Santoro Correspondence Course for Comic Book Makers**, which has helped train and inspire a new generation of cartoonists.
Afterwards, we will have time to work on our individual art projects, hang out, and if anyone is interested in feedback on their work, there will be time for that as well.
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for April is "Water"
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!
Arthouse Friday: THE DRAMA at the Drexel Theatre!
Join us as we get together for an Arthouse Movie Friday event to see the A24 dark comedy /romance / psychological-thriller, THE DRAMA! The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is challenged when one discovers unsettling truths about the other. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: The film follows a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails. The film comes from A24, is written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Zoë Winters.
QUICK WORD OF WARNING: The film hasn’t screened for critics yet and most of the details are being kept tightly under wraps. But, early buzz (possibly promotional) says the film is a brilliant psychological thriller/romance but also provocative, twisty and some contains occasional uncomfortable viewing! I love the cast and trailer, so look forward to seeing for ourselves!
ZENDAYA-PATTINSON TRIFECTA CHALLENGE: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will star in THREE movies together this year, including THE DRAMA, Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY this Summer and Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE: PART THREE at Christmas!
TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk)
PLAN: We’ll plan for 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but early arrival is advised. Possibly post-movie get-together at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Take care and look forward to seeing you there, Dan
Contra dance with Big Scioty April 11 - Clinton Heights Lutheran church
**Caller: Kim Thompson**
**Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra**
**Clinton Heights Lutheran Church**
**15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/)
