**DEGAS 📸🩰** *Focus Point(e): **Impressionist Photography*** DPL is happy to bring back a favoured DPL workshop–DEGAS! This time, however, we will focus less on the theatrics to create the famous Degas imagery and more on camera techniques to capture an *Impressionist* image. Our last two workshops have explored capturing dance in movement. This time it is YOU the photographer who will be doing the moving, playing with panning and zooming on a (mostly) still body. Take a look at some of the images we managed to capture at previous Degas workshops. What might you do differently to create the effect of *Impressionism*? Using slightly different techniques we will explore: ◼️ Intentional Camera Movement ◼️ Various Focus Techniques ◼️ Capturing Texture This whorkshop will be led by Michelle Buckley (professional dancer & co-founder/director of DPL) and Nick Gregan (professional photographer & author). Together, we will guide you through this specially curated workshop, using the specific techniques to create *Impressionist Photography*. ***THE BREAKDOWN:*** ◼️ FEE: £75 [(](https://monzo.com/pay/r/buckley-movement-memory-l_37dSTcrpKARIDa)[LINK TO PAY HERE](https://monzo.com/pay/r/buckley-movement-memory-l_uAczdHR4f2Ozjx)[)](https://monzo.com/pay/r/buckley-movement-memory-l_37dSTcrpKARIDa) Payment MUST be made before event ◼️ WHO: [Michelle Buckley](www.michellebuckley.dance), [Nick Gregan](https://nickgregan.com/) ◼️ WHAT: Ballet (classical/neoclassical) ◼️ WHERE: South Wimbledon Community Centre (nearest stations–Haydons Rd & Wimbledon; parking is available) ◼️ WHEN: 25 April 13:30-15:30 ***WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING:*** Your camera and creativity!

Please note - Do not worry if the attendance looks low, this is also advertised on eventbrite , attendance is usually 15-20. Do make sure you book a space if you are coming to the event as we have a certain amount of tickets available. Have you ever been to a public speaking class where they expect to go up and speak for 2 minutes with no prior experience ? I think this is too hard for many people and just overwhelms the nervous system. This workshop is designed for people who want a gradual and easier approach. We’ll start with some low-pressure warm-up games in pairs and small groups to help everyone relax and loosen up. We’ll move into groups of four, where you’ll speak in front of three people and answer a couple of questions. After that, we’ll move into groups of six and do another round or two. Finally, there will be an opportunity to speak in front of the whole group. But please don’t worry if that sounds intimidating—you will never be pushed or forced to do anything you’re not comfortable with. Even coming up and saying your name can be a victory! You are under no pressure to do anything, there are no minimum durations in speeches, all exercises are voluntary and no one will ever be put on the spot We'll be in studio 12, at the theatre deli which is 107 Leadenhall street, closest stations are bank and monument. I hope to see you there, if youre still worried feel free to send me a message and hopefully I can put your mind at ease 
Take care 
James. 
Gentle speaking

It feels like we just saw each other 🤷. Join members of the local design and UX community for our monthly breakfast. For May we’re stopping in for Rooh’s popup breakfast/cafe concept. You know someone is getting the lobster yuzu croissant, and that’s not even the prettiest thing on the menu!.

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!

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
