## This session
Let go of script.
What happens when you stop trying to be clever, and simply respond?
This session invites you into a playful exploration. Guided, interactive, and open-ended. You’ll be offered simple prompts and situations that unfold moment by moment, shaped by the group rather than a fixed plan.
The exact form stays a surprise. What’s certain is a light, well-held group space where you can experiment, react, and build something together.. without pressure to perform, be funny, or get it right.
No experience needed. You can jump in, take a step back, or observe when needed. Participation is always opt-in.

## Today's guide
Today’s session is held by a Berlin-based artist and facilitator working across live performance and group-based creative work. He has led sessions for institutions such as DIE GORILLAS and the Berliner Volkshochschule, and regularly works with both performers and non-performers.
His approach is less about instruction and more about attunement, sensing the group, responding in the moment, and creating a space that feels playful, human, and low-pressure.

## What is Uncommon Club?
Uncommon Club creates guided group sessions built around shared novelty, doing something unfamiliar together, in a way that feels safe, human, and intentional.
We believe that when people step into a new experience at the same time, without knowing exactly what will happen, habits soften, curiosity opens, and connection becomes more natural.
That’s why Uncommon Club sessions are:
- carefully guided and consent-led,
- designed around presence rather than performance,
- and kept partly a surprise.

## How our sessions work
Every Uncommon Club session is carefully guided and unfolds in phases
Phase 1️⃣ — Arrival
Arrive, settle, and land in the space and group.
Phase 2️⃣ — Warm-up
Gentle invitations help you arrive in your body and the moment.
Phase 3️⃣ — Exploration
The heart of the session. Playful, embodied and surprising.
Phase 4️⃣ — Reflection
We slow things down and let the experience settle.
Phase 5️⃣ — Connection
A clear closing moment, with space to linger.. or leave quietly.
## Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Who is Uncommon Club for?
Uncommon Club is for any adult. You don't need to be a performer or social butterfly, just someone open to exploring horizons beyond the everyday.
❓ What if I realize I don't want to participate?
That's fine. A "no" is as bold as a "yes". You can always step back or observe instead of joining in, and this will be explained and emphasised at the start of every experience.
❓ I struggle with strangers. Will it be awkward?
Our guides are trained in spaceholding and use a unique event process to make connection flow easily and naturally. It's structured so that everyone feels included without pressure.

## Evolving our concept and pricing
We want to share a small evolution in how Uncommon Club sessions are offered.
Until now, every Uncommon Club session was a complete surprise. Going forward, we’ll work with a mix of Open sessions ⚪️, where the format and facilitator are shared in advance and Surprise sessions 🟣 where you step in without knowing what will unfold.
Our intention remains unchanged: creating spaces for you to feel human again. During our events you enter with curiosity, trust the process and experience something new. This change simply offers more choice in how you step in.
You may also have noticed a change in our pricing. We’ve decided to lower prices for future sessions to make it easier to return and easier to say yes, while keeping the same level of care and attention in the space.
Because you signed up at the original price, we want to acknowledge that. If you’d like to join a future session, just reach out to us and we’ll make sure you receive a 50% discount.
Thank you for being there from the beginning.
Your Uncommon Club team,
Joost, Oktay and Jonel
