Offener Leseabend
## Wo & Wann?
**JEDEN MONTAG** findet die offene Lesebühne des Autorenforums Berlin statt (außer an Feiertagen)
**BEGINN**: 20:00 Uhr
**ANMELDUNG zum Lesen: ab 19:30 Uhr**
beim Moderator des Abends – siehe [Termine](http://autorenforum-berlin.de/wordpress/termine/);
Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist kostenlos.
**SCHWARTZSCHE VILLA**
**Großer Salon**
Direkt am S/U Rathaus Steglitz
Grunewaldstr. 55
Der offene Leseabend stellt das Herzstück des Autorenforums e.V. dar. Er steht nicht nur Mitgliedern, sondern grundsätzlich jedem Autor und jeder Autorin offen, der gerne einen unveröffentlichten Text vor Publikum präsentieren möchte. Auch Kritik kann jedermann üben. Wer lieber zuhören möchte, kann einfach am Montagabend um 20.00 in der Schwartzschen Villa erscheinen. Für Lesewillige gilt die unten stehende ausführliche Information (mündliche Anmeldung ab 19:30 Uhr).
*Unfortunately at the moment, it's only possible to present German texts. Unpublished texts that are already translated into German are highly welcome!*
## Was erwartet Sie?
Im Großen Salon der Schwartzsche Villa treffen Sie auf einen Kreis von Literaturbegeisterten, die Ihrem Text eine ernsthafte und fundierte Kritik spenden. Das Publikum wechselt. Es ist gemischt, geeint durch das Interesse an Texten.
Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Abends lesen aus ihren bislang unveröffentlichten Kurzgeschichten, lyrischen Texten, Erzählungen, Romanen, manchmal auch aus Theaterstücken. Die Autoren stellen nicht sich selbst, sondern ihre Texte der Kritik.
Wir verstehen uns als Arbeitsbühne. Deshalb wird bei uns nach den Lesungen nicht geklatscht.
Die Texte werden nach der Lesung des Autors auf handwerkliche Stärken und Schwächen „abgeklopft“. Es geht im Forum daher nicht um weltanschauliche Debatten. Im Idealfall hat der Autor/die Autorin nach einer Lesung und der Kritik verstanden, wo die Stärken und Schwächen seines Textes liegen, woran es seinem Text noch fehlt, was er ändern sollte und wo er bei seiner Überarbeitung ansetzen kann.
Der Abend endet gegen 22.00. Im Anschluss können Sie mit den Autoren im Café der Schwartzschen Villa noch ins Gespräch kommen und manches aus dem Literaturbetrieb erfahren. Wir sind im Kontakt auch mit namhaften Vertretern desselben.
Also – nicht gleich verschwinden! Dranbleiben.
Reden Sie mit den Forumianern!
## Sie möchten selbst lesen?
Wenn Sie selbst im Autorenforum lesen wollen, gibt es einige Dinge zu beachten. Wir bitten Sie sehr herzlich, sich mindestens einmal vor Ihrer ersten Lesung bei uns mit unseren Gegebenheiten vertraut zu machen. Ihren Lesewunsch können Sie dann ab 19.30 Uhr (Einlass) bei der Moderatorin oder dem Moderator eines Leseabends anmelden.
**Wir weisen ausdrücklich daraufhin, dass über die Annahme und Reihenfolge der Lesungen die jeweiligen Moderatoren entscheiden und es NICHT zwingend nach der Reihenfolge der Anmeldungen geht!**
In der Regel reicht die Zeit nur für drei Autoren je Abend und die Nachfrage ist oft recht hoch. Falls Sie einen lyrischen Text vortragen möchten, bringen Sie bitte mindestens 10 (zehn) Kopien mit, damit Ihr Publikum mitlesen kann. Die Kopien erhalten Sie selbstverständlich zurück.
# Wie üben wir Textkritik?
Nach der Idee von Maik Turni
## **Anschleichen**
**Wie wirkt der Text auf mich?** (Keine Angst vor Adjektiven! )
**Was habe ich gehört?** (Zusammenfassung (Nacherzählung))
**Was blieb unverstanden** (akustisch oder logisch)
## **Unter der Lupe**
**Was ist das für ein Text?**
(Prosa: Genre? Lyrik: Welche Art lyrischer Text?)
**Thema**
(Welches Thema berührt der Text? Hat der Autor sein Thema im Griff?
Ist es überzeugend/plausibel/gut recherchiert, vielleicht sogar zu faktenreich?)
**Figuren**
(Wie wirken die Figuren? Wer ist die Hauptfigur? Welches Problem hat die Hauptfigur?)
**Perspektive**
(Wie verhält sich die Erzählperspektive zum Thema / zu den Figuren?)
**Sprache**
(Welche Bilder sind stimmig / welche nicht?
Was lässt sich zum Rhythmus sagen?
Sind die Sätze syntaktisch und grammatikalisch korrekt?)
**Dramaturgie**
(Schafft der Text es, Spannung zu erzeugen? In welcher Reihenfolge werden die Dinge erzählt?)
**Bedeutung**
(Gelingt es dem Autor, die Bedeutung, die er seinem Text geben will, auch im Leser entstehen zu lassen?)
## **Klarspüler**
Fragen werden an den Text gestellt, nicht an den Autor!
Daher sollte der Text antworten.
## **Weichspüler**
Wird bei uns nicht verwendet.
Aber es gilt: Nicht der Autor wird kritisiert, sondern der Text!
Hart zum Text, sanft zum Autor!
Talk & Play #54
**RSVP via Meetup is mandatory to attend the event, due to limited capacity.**
Talk & Play is a free event that provides the opportunity to game enthusiasts, players and makers to meet in a friendly, relaxed and safe environment. Everybody's welcome, regardless of their background and knowledge level: if you've got any interest in games, we'll make sure you have a good time! This is NOT an event only aimed at developers.
The event series is funded by [Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg](https://www.medienboard.de/) and sponsored by [Happy Broccoli](https://www.happybroccoligames.com/), the Berlin indie game studio behind the Duck Detective series. A huge thank you to both for their support!
• • • • •
**HOW IT WORKS**
The event is made of 2 parts:
* TALK: Game-related presentations + announcements from the community
* PLAY: All participants are welcome to exhibit projects they've made
• • • • •
**AGENDA**
* **18:30** Doors open, project showcase starts
* **19:30 to 20:30** Talks & community announcements
* **22:00** Event ends

**THE TALK PART (PRESENTATIONS)**
**Sebastian Möring: Precarious Pixels. Artistic Computer Game Photographs as Media of Care**
Many artistic computer game photographs address the presence and absence of care. I would like to show in this talk that they themselves become describable as media of care. The notion of care offers a possibility to view the multitude of artistic in-game photographic works through the lens of one theme and thereby bring them into a coherent context.
*Sebastian Möring is a professor of game design at Macromedia University and a media and culture scholar with a PhD in game studies focusing on game aesthetics and philosophy, in-game photography, and green game studies.*

After the talk(s) there will be a section dedicated to short announcements from the community, get in touch to reserve a spot: info@berlingamescene.com — same goes if your company is hiring or wants to announce something and you'd like to get a sponsored slot!

**ADDITIONAL INFO**
Since restarting the event in 2023 we have asked attendees to wear a face mask. This requirement feels incredibly anachronistic these days so at the end of 2025 we decided to drop the requirement. That being said, **we ask everyone showing any signs of illness to be considerate and refrain from attending the event**. FFP2 masks will continue to be available at the door and we support anyone who feels like wearing one to protect themselves and others 💜
Are you attending the event for the first time, or are you coming on your own? The Talk & Play Ambassadors will be there to assist and answers any questions you have.
Our Safe Space Policy http://berlingamescene.com/safe-space-policy/ encourages the behaviour at Talk & Play. We request that everyone who is affiliated with and participates to the event honours it.
Our event is documented by Julian Dasgupta https://www.flickr.com/photos/12601747@N00/albums — for those who don’t want to be appear in any pictures, we're going to distribute stickers at the door to wear and signal this.
Alcoholic drinks will not be sold or allowed to be consumed during the event.
UE is a partially accessible venue. Feel free to contact us about your access requirements.
This event is organised by the [Gamestorm Berlin e.V.](https://gamestormcollective.org/)

!!NEW LOCATION!! Datamonster Berlin - Janek Fellien: Projekt Drasi
... english version below
Liebe Datamonster und Freunde des gepflegten Datenstroms.
Alles neu macht 2026... Und wir starten mit einem Knall ins neue Jahr: wir sind ab sofort in einer **neuen Location!**
Unsere Freunde von b.telligent haben uns freundlicherweise die **Berlin Bytes** vermittelt, die uns ab sofort in ihrem Büro in der Backfabrik am Prenzlauer Berg willkommen heißen werden.
Und zum ersten Termin in der neuen Location gehört natürlich auch ein herausragender Sprecher und den haben wir mit Janek Fellien gefunden. Sein Thema ist das Projekt Drasi
Projekt Drasi ist ein noch ganz frisches Open Source Projekt von Microsoft, das den Gedanken des Complex Event Processings neu aufgreift. Dabei geht es im Kern darum, Datenveränderungen in Softwaresystemen zu erkennen und darauf entsprechend reagieren zu können. In neu zu entwickelnden Systemen würde man dies mit Event Sourcing oder technischen Lösungen "from Scratch" realisieren, aber was ist mit Bestandssystemen? Wie schafft man es dort, die auftretenden Veränderungen zu erfassen und vor allem, warum möchte man darauf reagieren?
Ich möchte in diesem Talk zeigen, wie man mit Hilfe von Drasi, ein Monolith Legacy System in ein Micro Service System einbetten oder umwandeln kann.
Online teilnehmen könnt ihr unter folgendem [Link](https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/34859473575613?p=dZmKkYBDnMGEltFDhK), wir empfehlen euch aber natürlich wärmstens, mit uns die neue Location für die Berliner Datamonster einzuweihen.
Es freuen sich
Markus & Ben
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- english version \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
Dear data monsters and friends of well-crafted data streams,
Everything is new in 2026… and we’re starting the new year with a bang: from now on, we have a **new location**!
Our friends at b.telligent have kindly connected us with **Berlin Bytes**, who will be welcoming us from now on at their office in the Backfabrik in Prenzlauer Berg.
And of course, the first event at the new location calls for an outstanding speaker—and we’ve found one in Janek Fellien. His topic is the Drasi project.
Project Drasi is a very new open-source project from Microsoft that revisits the idea of Complex Event Processing. At its core, it is about detecting data changes in software systems and being able to react to them accordingly. In newly developed systems, this would typically be implemented using event sourcing or technical solutions built “from scratch.” But what about existing systems? How can changes be captured there—and, more importantly, why would you want to react to them?
In this talk, I want to demonstrate how Drasi can be used to embed or transform a monolithic legacy system into a microservices system.
You can join online via the following [link](https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/34859473575613?p=dZmKkYBDnMGEltFDhK), but of course we warmly recommend that you celebrate the inauguration of the new location for the Berlin Data Monsters with us in person.
Looking forward to it,
Markus & Ben

Folk Devils - Mask Making Workshop
**Welcome to a new Mask-making Workshop!**
As Carnival approaches, we are excited to invite you to a new, two-day hands-on mask-making workshop inspired by folk devils, spirits, and popular mythological figures from Latin America and Central America.
This workshop combines cultural references, imagination, and craft, inviting participants to create their own expressive folk mask using recycled materials. No previous experience is required.
In this context, devils are not symbols of evil. They represent creative **chaos, irony, protection, transformation, and vital force.** These figures often blur the line between human, animal, and spirit, appearing as guardians of the land, playful tricksters, or exaggerated reflections of social power and fear.
**Day 1: Symbols, Archetypes & Design**
We begin with a short cultural introduction about what the “devil” represents in Latin American folk traditions. We will explore visual examples from traditional masks and popular celebrations: folk spirits, tricksters, and hybrid animal–human figures.
We will then choose a personal archetype to work with. Using a template as a base, and through quick sketches, we will design and define:
• Expression: rage, irony, mystery, laughter.
• Horns, nose, fangs, beard, beaks, ears, snouts
• Human, animal, or hybrid forms
By the end of Day 1, each participant will have a clear mask concept and begin **building the base structure with recycled cardboard and paper-maché**, which will be left to dry before the second session.
**Day 2 — Painting & Finishing**
We will bring the masks to life through finishing, colour, textures, and expressive accents. You will get insights on choosing your colour palette, mixing colours and painting with acrylic to get different finishing effects.
The workshop closes with a collective sharing moment, where participants can present the character, spirit, or creature behind their mask.
**Dates:** Friday 20 + 27.02.26 from 5 to 8PM.
**Address:** In Friedrichshain. Exact address by e-mail.
**Price:** 110€/ 90€ for regular students. Materials are included as well as drinks and snacks.
**Materials:**
All basic materials are included (Cardboard, paper, paste, papier-mâché, acrylic colours, fabric and thread, natural elements such as seeds, wood, fibres, or decorative details)
We encourage you to bring your unique elements (your own special colours, personal materials or objects, small found items, fabrics, feathers, textures, or symbolic elements connected to your mask)
**How to sign up?**
Please send an email to **hola.berlinartclub@gmail.com,** and you will receive the registration form with all the details of payment and the exact address. Limited spots.
About the teacher: **Rosi Diaz Roigt** is a graphic designer and illustrator with over 7 years of experience working with film production teams, bringing fictional characters to life through graphic design, prop creation, and movie posters. Passionate about art and sustainability, she specialises in exploring the creative possibilities of recycled materials. Her work draws inspiration from the beauty and power of nature, blending storytelling and eco-conscious design.

The War Room: Intro to War Gaming at The Arcane Foundry ($15 Regiment)
**⚔️ Introduction to Wargaming & Painting Miniature Soldiers at The Arcane Foundry ⚔️**
Join me in **The War Room at [The Arcane Foundry](https://share.google/S5i6DYJnJteHWeKtd)** for a laid-back evening of hobby talk and tabletop fun! For just **$15**, you’ll get a **3D-printed regiment of 20 high quality resin models** of your choice to paint — a **$40 value!** Bring your creativity, relax, and let’s make something awesome together.
**Choose one from Below:**
* 20 Orc Warriors
* 20 Empire Soldiers
* 20 Dwarf Warriors
* 20 Elf Spearmen
Step into a world where strategy meets artistry — and where every painted figure tells a story of battle, honor, and imagination. Join **Daclaud** at **The Arcane Foundry** for an evening that introduces newcomers and enthusiasts alike to the timeless craft of **tabletop wargaming** and **miniature painting**.
My own journey began with a fascination for fantasy — knights in armor, grim and hardened warriors, and monstrous creatures locked in epic battle. That passion led me to **Dungeons & Dragons**, where I painted my first **Basic Heroes set** and felt the spark that comes from bringing a character to life in miniature form. Not long after, I discovered **Warhammer Fantasy** and **Warhammer 40,000**, and I was hooked. The vision of vast armies clashing across the table — each unit meticulously painted, each story unfolding through dice and imagination — became my creative obsession.
During this event, we’ll explore the **origins of wargaming**, from its early military simulations to the richly detailed worlds of modern tabletop battle systems. You’ll learn how to **build and customize your own armies**, paint your first figures, and experience the joy of turning strategy and storytelling into a hands-on art form.
Whether you’re drawn by the lore, the hobby, or the thrill of commanding miniature legions, this introduction will open the gates to a world that has captivated hobbyists for generations.
**🎨 RSVP today and join us at The Arcane Foundry — where every brushstroke and battle tells a story.**
CMG Gives Back - March: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! For this event, we’ll help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents, wash dishes and clean surfaces at Fath Mission – Grant Kitchen. We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. Our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:15am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1, indicated in the attached map. On-site and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing the all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With very few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve.
THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others! Benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering provides a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need.
PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
