For those about to write -- let them come to Berlin! Think of us as a writers' room on the Iron Curtain. We help you turn ideas into Beat Sheets, and Beat Sheets into Scripts. Whatever your level -- we help you to raise your game. We also do a lot of table reads. And provide constructive feedback. And talk about books and films and shows we love -- and draw inspiration for our own projects from them. We workshop works-in-progress. We give you the tools -- you find your flow. Broadly speaking, we have ways to make you write!

Contact Impro Therapie Erlebe in dieser offenen tanztherapeutischen Gruppe die heilende Kraft der Berührung und wie sie uns in Bewegung bringt. Contact Improvisation ist eine Tanzform, in der es um Berührungen geht, die keine Absicht verfolgen. Es ist eine Einladung, in solche Berührungen hineinzuspüren und dieses Spüren in spontane Bewegung zu verwandeln. Was wird berührt, was möchte sich ausdrücken? So entsteht ein Dialog spürender Begegnung. Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen werden im bewegten Körper erfahrbar und finden gleichzeitig Ausdruck. Contact hilft uns, zu erleben, wie man mit anderen im Kontakt sein kann indem man mit sich selbst in Kontakt tritt—körperlich wie seelisch—und umgekehrt. Dies ist kein Contact Kurs. Anders als bei Contact Events bietet diese Gruppe einen geschützten Rahmen, zu erkunden, wie körperliche Berührung und Bewegung unser Selbst berühren und in Bewegung bringen können. Was sind die Resonanzen, wenn wir mit anderen und uns selbst in Kontakt treten? Welchen Hindernissen begegnen wir? Wie können wir Neues wagen? Erfahrung mit Contact Impro oder Tanz ist nicht notwendig, nur die grundsätzliche Offenheit, Berührung und Bewegung zu erkunden. Wir legen besonderes Augenmerk darauf, in welchen Grenzen jede Person Berührung zulassen möchte. Diese Gruppe ist für Dich, wenn Du Deine eigenen Themen im Kontakt mit anderen und durch Deinen bewegten Körper in einem sicheren Raum erkunden und bearbeiten möchtest. **Wo**: Colibri-Studio, Karl-Marx-Str. 149, Berlin (U Karl-Marx-Str.) **Wann**: Dienstags, 20:00-21:30, ca. 14-tägig, genaue Termine erfragen. Teilnahme nur nach vorheriger Anmeldung: info@jochenkleres.de

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
