**🌸 ALL THE WOMEN IN ME 🌸** ***INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY SPECIAL*** A Journaling Workshop for Every Version of You Let's be honest – we're all carrying around an entire committee of women inside us. You know them well: the perfectionist who color-codes her calendar, the rebel who wants to dye her hair blue at 40, the inner critic who's somehow channeling your third-grade teacher, and that wild dreamer who still believes she'll learn to juggle while riding a unicycle (hey, no judging!) But hey, where are they all coming from? Let's look in the past, dive into your family's story, and see what comes up! Through guided writing exercises, we'll: * Meet your inner cast of characters (and maybe discover some surprise guests) * Explore how these different parts of you have shaped your story * Learn to embrace your contradictions (yes, you can be both a warrior and someone who cries at cat videos) * Transform self-judgment into self-acceptance (or at least a friendly eye-roll) What to bring: * Your favorite notebook (the one you've been saving for "something special" – this is it!) * A pen that makes you feel like a writer * Your sense of humor * Zero journaling experience required – seriously, even if your last diary entry was "All boys are idiots!", some time in secondary school * Who this is for: Women who are curious about their own complexity, tired of trying to fit into one-size-fits-all definitions, and ready to explore their inner world with honesty and a dash of wit. Details: * 1.5-hour workshop * Small group setting (max 10 participants) * Guided exercises, free writing, and group sharing (only if you want to – no pressure!) Come join us for an evening of self-discovery, real talk, and maybe even some surprisingly good laughs. Because getting to know yourself doesn't always have to be so serious. P.S. Your inner perfectionist wants you to know that it's totally fine to show up in sweatpants. Your inner diva suggests adding a fabulous scarf. We welcome them both. ABOUT THE ORGANIZER Hi!

(CAST) Publicar un libro hoy es más fácil que nunca. Lo que no es tan fácil es tener algo original, valiente y honesto que contar. Te invitamos a la presentación de “Salir del armario a cualquier edad” de David Hartman. David es una de estas personas que contagia su curiosidad por la vida, por la gente, además de un buen humor indestructible. Tenemos la suerte de conocerlo de algunas de las actividades de este grupo y como sabemos que hace muy poco ha publicado su primer libro le hemos pedido con mucho cariño que nos lo presente. Sus historias y algunos capítulos de su vida son para hacer un libro o una película. Hemos hablado de varias cosas divertidas que pueden pasar en la presentación pero aun no tenemos todos los detalles. El plan es: Nos vemos en el Punto, en el reservado de la parte de arriba a las 18:30h. Tenemos el espacio durante 1hora así que tenemos que ser puntuales. Después podemos tomar algo más ahí (opcional) Esta actividad no es para "vender libros\* pero si que habrá algunas copias a la venta. Es una idea nuestra, de los organizadores para promocionar el trabajo de David, alguien que, sinceramente, nos encanta tener como amigo. La presentación serà, mayoritariamente, en inglés y nos organizaremos para que todos estemos cerca de alguien que te pueda traducir si no lo hablas. Como intercambio por el espacio, Jordi de Punto BCN solo nos pide una consumición por persona. Es el único coste para participar. Este es uno de esos eventos en los que, como se dice, cuantos mas seamos, mas reiremos. Si te gusta leer, sabes que no siempre es fàcil salir del armario y te cuadra el plan, vente. Será muy bueno verte. Rafa y Pep. ........... (EN) Publishing a book today is easier than ever. What's not so easy is having something original, brave, and honest to tell. We invite you to the presentation of "Coming Out at Any Age" by David Hartman. David is one of those people who spreads curiosity about life and people, along with an indestructible sense of humor. We're lucky enough to know him from some of this group's activities, and since we know he recently published his first book, we've kindly asked him to present it to us. His stories and some chapters of his life are worthy of a book or a film. We've talked about several fun things that might happen at the presentation, but we don't have all the details yet. The plan is: We'll meet at El Punto, in the area upstairs, at 6:30 p.m. We have the space for one hour, so we need to be on time. Afterwards, we can have something else to drink there (optional). This activity isn't meant to "sell books," but there will be a few copies available. It's our idea, the organizers idea, to promote the work of David, someone we sincerely love having as a friend. The presentation will be mostly in English, and we'll arrange ourselves so everyone is near someone who can help translating if needed. In exchange for the space, Jordi from Punto BCN only asks us for one drink per person. That's the only cost to participate. This is one of those events where, as they say, the more the merrier. If you like to read, know that coming out isn't always easy, and the plan fits you, join us. It will be great to see you. Rafa and Pep. ....... (CAT) Publicar un llibre avui és més fàcil que mai.

“El teatro crea espacios de libertad donde podemos liberar nuestros recuerdos, nuestras emociones y nuestra imaginación”✨ Un taller donde podrás permitirte estar por ti, unos momentos para ti. Un espacio lúdico donde desconectar del agitado día a día, de las cargas que llevamos diariamente y conectar con tu capacidad creadora. Despertaremos ese “yo” libre y atrevido, que a veces tenemos dormido, para poder liberarnos de tensiones y preocupaciones. Un espacio donde todo es posible. 💪 Este taller está orientado a que cada participante pueda explorar-se, reconocer- se y transformar-se, tomando seguridad en sí mismo como un ser espontáneo y aprendiendo a confiar en sus capacidades creativas. “El verdadero viaje del descubrimiento no reside en ver nuevos mundos, sino en verlos con otros ojos”. (Marcel Marceau) Siempre con profesores titulados y en activo en los escenarios de la ciudad. Así como pedagogos y terapeutas avalados por la AETG. Cada nivel y grupo tiene un profesional adaptado a las necesidades y objetivos del grupo. No es necesaria experiencia previa. Estamos abiertos a todas personas que quieran experimentar y acercarse más a sí mismas. Horario: Sábado quincenal de 10.30 a 14.00 h. De tal forma que os quedan libres otros 2 sábados mensuales. Se realiza así para que tengáis tiempo de asimilar los trabajos realizados, descansar y poder seguir avanzando. El grupo requiere compromiso de asistencia, ya que el trabajo es intimo y cuidamos las experiencias de cada une. Quedan pocas plazas para constituir el grupo. Lo único ESENCIAL PARA PODER ASISITIR es que nos escribas para que te CONFIRMEMOS LA PLAZA, ya que hay Lista de Espera. Sin confirmación por parte nuestra no podréis acceder al evento.

Inspired by the [Cinema Clubs and magazines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahiers_du_Cin%C3%A9ma) of the 1950s in France that launched what we now know as the "film critic", this event will follow a similar structure. We'll gather and watch a film at a beautiful private residence hosted by one of our BCN Screenwriting Session regulars! In order to get the secret address, you'll have to sign up here and shoot a note to Neal on Whatsapp or IG :) We'll be watching a recent iconic film, "Perfect Days", rated one of the top 100 movies of the 21st century, nominated for an Academy Award, and so much more. This gathering will be totally free. Well also have a few snacks out (you’re welcome to bring some too!). As an added bonus, we *may* screen a short film (just like the old days of Pixar) right before the movie, if everyone is early/on time. Below is the approx. schedule - we ask you to please be on time! 7:15/30pm - We'll meet and mingle! 7:45pm - Movie starts! \~9:45pm - Movie ends and we'll chat, debate, share thoughts, and tea :) 10:30pm - We'll respect the owners home, and graciously help her clean up, and sleep. And if folks want to hang out afterwards, there are many places nearby! Please RSVP and write a message so I can add you to the Whatsapp group for coordination on locations!

This is limited and skewed towards "negative" emotions. And there have to be more "positive" emotions out there. Right? What would it be like to embody emotions like Heroism or Wonder or Peace or Compassion? Learn the ancient Indian system of Navarasas (Nava - 9; rasas - emotions) where we work with Indian myths as a way to evoke deep emotional responses. As formalized by the sage Bharata, this work will help you bring a whole new array of characters and experiences to life on stage. **Balasree Viswanathan** is an improviser based in Bangalore, India.

Calling all videographers in Barcelona! Join us for a night of creating cinematic videos at curated locations in Barcelona with a styled model and instructor. **What is our goal?** To study and practice the art and technology of producing short film videos with the use of lighting, composition, camera angles, recording settings, lens selection, and subject movement. Cinematography is the visual storytelling in film conveying emotions, setting the mood, and shaping the narrative through the lens. Why shoot video at night? By capturing video at night you take advantage of the brilliant city colors to illuminate your subject adding an elevated sense of mood and drama. What better place to experiment than in the most beautiful city in Europe. Our tasks will be to shoot scenes using several techniques: \- subject in motion\, camera in position \- subject and camera in motion \- subject stationary\, camera pans around No experience is necessary, just bring your own cameras and enjoy!

The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" 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!
