Longform Course: The Flat by Matthijs Meulblok
#### Level: Advanced
*What really happens behind closed doors?*
The Flat is an advanced long-form improv course inspired by Rear Window and the quiet drama of everyday lives lived side by side. Set in a shared apartment building, this format invites you to explore the unseen worlds of neighbours who observe each other from a distance, collide unexpectedly, and slowly reveal who they really are.
Across the course, you and your fellow players will build a living, breathing building filled with recognisable characters and intertwined storylines. Windows become frames. Hallways become crossroads. Small details grow into big consequences. Together, you will create a fully improvised performance of forty minutes or more that feels coherent, cinematic, and emotionally grounded.
Is there romance blossoming across balconies? A secret criminal operation hidden behind tidy curtains? Or simply a lonely man whose strongest relationship is with his cat? The Flat thrives on contrast, tension, and quiet observation, allowing humour and drama to sit side by side. The audience becomes a voyeur, peeking into private lives and watching stories unfold over time.
This course focuses on long-form improvisation as collective storytelling. You will work on sustaining narrative over a longer arc, making bold but consistent character choices, and trusting the ensemble to carry the story together. Editing is treated as a creative tool rather than an interruption, helping scenes flow smoothly and keeping the audience oriented and engaged.
Throughout the course, you will deepen your understanding of longform structure and develop the patience and confidence required to let stories emerge naturally. You will practise playing multiple scenes on stage, supporting parallel storylines, and staying true to your characters as they evolve. The emphasis is on emotional truth, recognisability, and commitment, allowing scenes to resonate long after the laugh has faded.
This is a course for players who enjoy subtlety as much as spectacle, and who want to challenge themselves to create something layered, restrained, and powerful.
#### Who this course is for
This course is intended for experienced improvisers who want to deepen their longform work. You should have completed at least four improv courses or have a solid foundation in character building, story spine, and editing. You are comfortable on stage, curious about narrative structure, and ready to invest in slower, more detailed scene work. This course is not suitable for beginners.
The Flat has previously been directed and taught by Matthijs and performed by groups such as Pure Chocolade at the Impro XL Longform Festival in Hoorn, and Liever Veul Bloemen in Wageningen.
#### About the teacher
Matthijs Meulblok studied Media Studies at Utrecht University and runs his own podcast studio at Wolvenplein, where he records podcasts and voice overs and coaches people in voice acting, podcasting, and media performance.
He has performed with multiple improv groups in different countries, trains a variety of ensembles, and regularly teaches specialised workshops. Since 2025, he has also been exploring stand-up comedy as part of his own performance practice. Matthijs is known for creating thoughtful, thematic lessons and for developing innovative formats in both short-form and long-form improvisation. His teaching combines clarity, creativity, and a strong sense of narrative play.

Swimming lessons for adults | Beginners
If you are living in The Netherlands, by now, you may well have noticed the amount of open water. If you enjoy cycling in the city, you may wish to feel safer as you navigate the bridges and canals. And you may also want to get ready for visiting the beach, pools or the many lakes this summer.
Learning how to swim takes approx 1 year and it all starts with the very first lesson. New comers enroll via our website and pay € 30,50, this is the first lesson and a goody bag. After the class you agree with the personal swim coach how to continue to obtain your final objectives.
Enrolling is only possible via [www.your-personal-swim-coach.nl ](https://www.your-personal-swim-coach.nl/)hence a rvsp via meetup is not enough.

HPC @ SURF
Every 2 months, we'll visit a company or institute that will host the event and provide talks.
This time, we’re visiting **SURF**. You may know SURF as the organization behind the **Snellius supercomputer**, but its role is much broader. SURF is the IT cooperative for education and research in the Netherlands, offering advanced services for computing, storage, networking, and much more.
If you want to get a sense of their work, check out the SURF tag on [Tweakers](https://tweakers.net/tag/SURF/) or visit their website at [surf.nl](https://surf.nl).
The talks are the following:
1. Short intro to Quantum Computing, by David Maier (SURF), 4 minutes
2. FPGAs in HPC, by Mohsen Safari (SURF), 30 minutes
3. Running CUDA on AMD GPUs (without using HIP), by Chris Kitching (Spectral Compute), 30 minutes
For those who visited the previous meetup at Stream HPC, you already know what to expect: deep dives into technical subjects, snacks and drinks, and enough time to socialize.
**Important**

Offroad ride #1 2026, easy offroad, beginner friendly!
Offroading ride in Diermen, Meerveld, Lunteren.
Our usual easy "get back into riding" route.
Meeting at 10am, will ride +-120km of a mixed road and offroad. Should be a 40/60 mix, the route (as usual...) may be a bit outdated and sections may need to be circumvented.
The route is relatively easy and flat with moderate hardpacked sand stretches (unless rainy, then expect mud ;) ).
Will ride unless there are thunderstorms, so if it's just rain, bring your rain gear...
Also bring snacks. We will stop for food if there's a nice place to do so.
All skill level riders welcome to join. Our experienced riders have patience to teach and help you get accustomed to adventure riding if you are new to it.
ADV tires are required (knobbies, preferably at least 40/60).
See you then!

Agentenentwicklung ist wie Kindererziehung & Give Your AI Superpowers
**Um was geht es dieses mal?**
Dieses Mal haben wir zwei Talks für euch!
**Agentenentwicklung ist wie Kindererziehung, nur mit mehr Logs - Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen bei vaylens - Dennis Lüger (vaylens)**
"Was hat die Entwicklung eines KI-Agents mit Kindererziehung zu tun?
Mehr als du denkst. In diesem Vortrag zeigt vaylens, wie wir den Service in der eMobility-Branche mit einem intelligenten Agenten neu denken – und warum der klassische Design → Develop-Prozess hier völlig an seine Grenzen stößt.
Wir sprechen über die echten Herausforderungen: den Aufbau einer funktionierenden Wissensbasis, die Tücken von RAG, das Testen eines Systems, das sich ständig weiterentwickelt, und den Alltag mit einem Produkt, das selbst noch „in den Kinderschuhen“ steckt.
Natürlich teilen wir auch unsere Erfolge, die wachsenden Fähigkeiten unseres Agents und geben einen Ausblick darauf, welche nächsten Schritte anstehen, um den Service der Zukunft zu gestalten."
**Give Your AI Superpowers: Warum alles mit dem Model Context Protocol beginnt. - Benjamin Font Pera (codecentric)**
"Moderne Sprachmodelle erreichen heute eine beeindruckende Leistungsfähigkeit, bleiben jedoch häufig in isolierten Umgebungen gefangen: Ohne eine einheitliche Schnittstelle können sie nur schwer auf externe Systeme, Datenquellen oder Werkzeuge zugreifen. Genau hier setzt das Model Context Protocol (MCP) an. MCP schafft eine standardisierte Integrationsschicht, über die LLMs transparent, strukturiert und kontrollierbar mit ihrer Umgebung interagieren können.
In diesem Talk zeige ich, wie MCP die Grundlage für praktische, handlungsfähige KI-Agenten schafft
Im Coding-Bereich demonstriere ich, wie ein Coding-Agent über MCP nicht nur mit Ticketsystemen arbeiten kann, sondern durch den Figma-MCP-Server sogar „sehen” lernt.
Im n8n-Ökosystem wird sichtbar, wie MCP echte Agenten-Workflows ermöglicht. Am Beispiel des „Kai Vertriebsassistenten” zeige ich, wie ein LLM über MCP mit n8n Agenten kommuniziert, fehlende Informationen aktiv abfragt, Daten aus HubSpot oder Jira abrufen kann und komplexe Aufgaben wie das Erstellen von Versicherungsangeboten vollständig automatisiert.
Der Vortrag verbindet konzeptionelle Grundlagen mit praktischen Demonstrationen und zeigt, wie MCP KI-Modelle aus ihrer Isolation löst und in vollständig integrierte, handlungsfähige Agenten verwandelt."
**Hybrides Setup!**
Wir freuen uns, euch bei uns in den Räumen der codecentric AG in Dortmund willkommen zu heißen. Vor Ort versorgen wir euch mit Snacks und Getränken und freuen uns gleichzeitig über interessante Diskussionen und einen guten Austausch. Für alle, die es nicht zu uns ins Office schaffen, werden wir das Meetup Hybrid durchführen. Der Stream beginnt ca. 10 Minuten später, damit wir vor Ort ausreichend Möglichkeit für persönliches Kennenlernen haben.
Den Live-Stream findet ihr auf dem [YouTube-Channel der codecentric AG](youtube.com/@codecentricag).
**Anreise:**
Per Zug: Vom Dortmunder HBF sind es ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß.
Mit dem Auto: Rund um das Office gibt es einige Parkflächen, dazu befinden sich in dem Parkhaus der Thier-Galerie weitere Parkplätze.
[Arnhem] English subs: The Love That Remains (2025)
#This meetup is around a third-party organizer (Focus Filmtheater): you can either purchase your ticket online or right before the session#
**Title**: The Love That Remains
**Language**: Icelandic
**Subtitles**: English
**Length**: 109 min
**Director**: Hlynur Pálmason
**More info**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/agenda/english-subs-the-love-that-remains/
**Ticket link**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/tickets/140394/
**Synopsis**:
Anna and Magnus are getting a divorce. Nevertheless, they still spend time together regularly for the benefit of their three children, Ída, and the twins, Þorgils and Grímur. Magnus works at sea and is often away from home for long periods of time. Artist Anna creates impressive works of art that do not get the recognition they deserve. In search of meaning, both parents go their separate ways in this new, strange reality. But what happens to the love that remains after a break-up?
**How it works**:
I will be at Focus around 18:30, where we can meet before the movie starts. You can message me to find us. Screening starts at 19:00. After the movie, we can have a drink together.
Hope to see you soon!

January Women’s Parkour Meetup
MindShift Gym has graciously offered to host our January meetup again! This event is technically free, but donations are strongly encouraged. MindShift has granted us access to their space at no cost to us, but at meaningful cost to *them*. Please consider helping them out a little, as you're able.
For those of you who'd like to continue playing after this event is over, you'll have the option to stay for an additional (free) open gym session.
To help MindShift get a sense of how many folks intend to come (and so that we can get your waiver taken care of ahead of time), please register for this event here:
https://mindshiftgym.sites.zenplanner.com/event.cfm?eventId=260B7229-A645-43A9-BBE3-D768DEC17B16
We're looking forward to seeing you!
This meetup is non-binary inclusive and open to all ability and skill levels. Whether it's your first time trying parkour or you've been training for years there will be fun challenges for everyone.
Friday Night Fitness Skate
Join us for the Friday Night Fitness Skate! A 12 or 8 mile fitness skate that skates the same route each week so you will know the route and pavement hazards (since it is dark) and be able to work on form, endurance or speed as the cold wind is pushing against you! ;) The route has nice long stretches of uninterrupted skating, open roads with very few cars and the regroups are short and infrequent.
We will meet at Freedom Plaza at 7pm as long as it is not raining, snowing and the pavement is not wet or icy. We’ll warm up with a skate to the Capital and then skate along the mall and museums to the National Monument. We will then head to the Lincoln Memorial through the World War II Memorial.
From the Lincoln we will proceed to Haynes Point down Ohio Drive with the option to take the 3 mile Haynes Point loop (12 mile total skate) or practice stops or stunts at the regroup spot while others skate the loop (8.5 mile total skate.)
The skate is mostly flat on good pavement with a small slope coming down from the Washington Monument and a 40 yard small slop from the Lincoln to Ohio Drive and a couple patches here and there.
The wind can be very strong and cold especially on Ohio Drive and Haynes Point as we skate adjacent to the water.
Please feel free to jazz up your gear with lights, I wear a helmet bike light (since it is pretty dark) and a set of body lights. Most of the regulars skate with lighted wheels for fun! Wear your lights so you have fun, can see and be seen!
In case of bad weather, I will update this post via the comment section around 6pm on Friday.
Of course, all skating is at your own risk.
Hope you will come join us!
Herndon Tennis Refugees: Now Starting at Noon, When the Snow Has Melted! ❄️☀️🎾
❄️ **Winter Hours = High Noon 12 pm Start!**
Think of it like daylight savings, but with more double-faults. Refugees tennis **now starts at 12:00 pm**, not 9:00 am.
Join us for our weekly Herndon Tennis Refugees meetup! We’re a drama-free doubles crew for experienced, competitive players (USTA high 3.0–4.0). Come rally, connect, and have fun. No line-call drama or cutthroat battles. Fair play is the baseline.
When the old Meetup vanished like a botched overhead, we were stranded like tennis orphans. So we made something better: scrappier, smarter, and shockingly organized. We turned chaos into kick serves and awkward goodbyes into solid backhands. If you’re returning—welcome home. If you’re new—nice upgrade.
**The rundown:**
* We start with 2 courts (8 players).
* If full, **join the Waitlist**—at 12 RSVPs, we add a 3rd court; at 16, a 4th.
* Rotating doubles. Friendly, flexible, and fun.
* Events open Sundays at 9am and fill fast.
* Frequent late cancellations (within 36 hrs) are discouraged. We may ask you to find a sub or limit your future participation.
The old group left us at the baseline. Now? We’re charging the net. 🎾
