Sign-up: https://villavida.at/event/dragalicious-workshop-movement/ Step into your power, your body, and your expression at this Dragalicious movement workshop with **led by [DaDa JV](https://www.instagram.com/dada_jv/)**. The MOVEMENT workshop focuses on dance and music as tools for drag self expression. DaDa JV leads you through movement, posing, and rhythm to build confidence and stage presence. You explore how your body responds to music and how attitude shapes performance. You practice clear poses, transitions, and expressive movement across different energy levels. This workshop supports performers who want to move with intention, own their space, and express personality through dance. This workshop is an invitation to explore drag performance through movement, posing, and embodied expression. Whether you’re new to drag, curious about performance, or already playing with stage presence, this session focuses on confidence, character, and connecting to your own style — not perfection. Together, we’ll work with basic elements, strong poses, and expressive movement to help you feel more grounded, playful, and visible in your body. Expect a supportive, queer-affirming space where experimentation is encouraged and everyone moves at their own pace. No previous drag or dance experience required. Come as you are. Dragalicious Workshops are **donation-based**. Please sign up in advance so we can plan the space accordingly. **Accessibility & Notes** – Open to all genders and bodies – No experience required – Wear comfortable clothes you can move in – Donation-based (pay what you can) – Villa Vida is wheelchair accessible and has a wheelchair accessible toilet available.

Gayme Night is our cozy board games hangout for the queer community and friends. Come with your besties or show up solo — we’ll help people find a table and get a game going. The goal is simple: relaxed social time, a bit of playful competition, and a space that feels easy to enter. How it works \* Drop in any time between 18:00 and 21:00 \* Choose a game from the selection (or bring your own) \* Join an open table or ask us to match you with a group \* Play, snack, sip, repeat Who it’s for Queer folks and friends who can respect the space. You don’t need board game skills—just basic kindness and the ability to lose gracefully Free entry. Accessibility notes We aim to make this event as accessible as possible. If you have access needs or questions (seating, sensory needs, etc.), message us in advance and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

**✨Explore your own relationship with play, connection and challenge✨** **Max. 8 participants** [CLICK TO REGISTER AND SECURE YOU PLACE](https://forms.gle/Pf2c5hhaBuU7pfcR7) **About this workshop** **Playfight is a laboratory for real-life situations.** Over the past months, my workshops have explored themes such as power, conscious touch, intimacy and so on. **This time, we widen the field again.** Instead of focusing on one specific topic, we return to the richness of the practice itself. Open Playfight is a space to discover what value this practice can offer *to you.* Maybe you’ve been curious about playfight for a while. Maybe you’ve joined before, but drifted away. Or maybe there is simply a part of you wondering: **“Maybe this isn’t for me.”** **You don’t have to push through your resistance to belong here. Curiosity and care are enough.** Through movement, games, and playful physical interactions, we’ll explore: * meeting ourselves and others in a spirit of play * expressing strength and vulnerability in a safer environment * discovering that challenge and connection can coexist * **finding freedom within clear boundaries** * stepping beyond our usual roles and habits, with curiosity **Different people discover different things here:** * confidence, * softness, * safe physical contact, * the freedom to express themselves, * or simply the joy of moving and laughing together. * At a deeper level, we touch another human paradox: **We often think we already know who we are — and what spaces belong to us.** What if the part of us that says “this isn’t for me” is exactly **the part that is asking to be met?** No prior experience needed. Come as you are. **What to Expect** 16:00 – Doors Open 16:15 – Start 19:30 – End Grounding, warm-up games, simple connection exercises, playfight circles, and moments of shared reflection. The workshop unfolds **gradually**, with clear guidance and respect for **individual boundaries**, allowing everyone to participate **at the pace that feels right** for them. Whether you are completely new or returning after some time away, there is **zero pressure** to perform or “do it right.”🌿 **Location:** Golden Ape Studio, Schüttelstraße 37/8 · Wien **Date:** Saturday, September 27th **About The Facilitator** Hi, I’m **Marco**, I’m an Coach (Lebens- und Sozialberater in training) and a Workshop Facilitator.

In dieser Einheit zeigen wir Übungen in der die Wahrnehmung der Körperachse geweckt und spürbar gemacht wird, wie man durch die Umarmung in Kontakt mit dem Partner treten kann, und wie die Musik und unsere Wahrnehmung von Rhythmus zu einem lebendigen Ganzen verschmelzen. Anschließend kommen alle Teilnehmer\*innen in Bewegung um den Tango selbst zu spüren und zu experimentieren. #### ## Geführte PRACTICA Sonntags von 18:00 bis 20:00 Uhr.

En esta ocasión nos vamos a reunir en The Long Hall Bar, un pub irlandés en Florianigasse 2, 1080 Wien. https://thelonghall.at/ The Long Hall Bar tiene una amplia terraza, y por lo tanto no vamos a tener problemas de espacio. Para este evento Stuart Simpson ha hecho una reserva a su nombre para 25 personas. Como es la primera vez que nos reunimos en The Long Hall Bar, es conveniente llegar temprano. The Long Hall Bar, se encuentra a unos pocos minutos andando de la estación de metro U2 Rathaus. Este verano tengo la intención de celebrar el evento en distintos locales con terraza (así que si no vienes, te lo pierdes). Ante cualquier duda, especialmente si es tu primera vez, puedes mandarme un WhatsApp: +4369010297300. **Aunque el evento es gratuito, vuestras consumiciones no lo son.** En el último evento varias bebidas quedaron sin pagar y esto es algo que no es la primera vez que ocurre. Que este tipo de cosas ocurra, implica que cada vez me sea más difícil encontrar un local para realizar nuestro evento. Por eso **os pido encarecidamente que paguéis vuestras consumiciones**. Si los hechos se repiten me veré obligado a tomar medidas. El evento tiene la función de que nos juntemos para pasar un rato divertido. No olvides compartir el evento con otras personas interesadas. También tenemos un grupo de Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/426629184137458/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/426629184137458/) No olvides seguirnos en Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/cafedelalengua/](https://www.instagram.com/cafedelalengua/)
