… AND YOU ..
(you are invited to bring a costume, make a short act during the party, etc).
Berlin attracts thousands of artists, musicians, and passersby – it’s a nomadic city that’s always becoming but never is. It’s calm and peaceful, there’s minimum external stimulation, it’s cheap. Berlin doesn’t demand anything from people and it doesn’t offer anything definite. That’s why it’s so full of creative potential, but also can be hermetic and introvert at times. We conceived PLAYBerlin as a way to infuse more movement and play into our environment. Our activity is very much event-based, improvised, and anti-nostalgic. We want to bring different scenes together, but do not associate ourselves to any of them. instead, we invite people to collaboratively create situations where something new and different takes shape of an inspiring event, an improvised opportunity to be playful and disassociate from any fixed image or scene. It’s not about preparation or prior knowledge, but more about the skill to be playful, to be open to change and movement. We run several projects created to fulfill this goal and allow these situations to happen more often: PLAYBerlin.Com magazine, TAMTAMTAM events, and PLAYBerlin Artist Support.
