Phone-free Hangout: Friendship Edition
May 17th event PROGRAM: Friendship edition
Friendships often outlast our romantic connections, and in queer dating we often remain friends we our exes. Why is that?
INTROVERTED part - chilling, getting in the zone, being
AMBIVERT part - a short, guided, open floor share about the meaning of friendships in our lives.
EXTRAVERTED part - socialising, making friends, mix media + storytelling performances
Details:
15:00 - 15:15 - Arrival window > 📵 Bye-bye phone (we'll keep it safe) > 🧸 Pick your cozy corner > 🧘♀️ Settle in
15:15 - 15:25
A quick welcome + what to expect
(We promise it’s not a TED Talk)
15:30 - 16:45 (75min) > INTROVERTED TIME
Read, journal, draw, meditate, knit or just stare into the void and vibe ✨
16:45 – 17:00 > short break
-----
17:00 - 18.30 (90min) > EXTRAVERTED TIME
Pt. 1
Real convos, eye contact, spontaneous friend-making, getting to know each other... or stay in your bubble (that's ok too)
💭 Open floor reflections
How is it for you to part with your phone? Do you have tips or tricks to scroll less? Say something, share a feeling, or just nod meaningfully - all are welcome.
Pt.2
QUEER TALENTS: Mix media performance and storytelling by:
Ceyhun Firat - mixed media performance
Ceyhun works across image, storytelling, music, and performance. He recently emerged from the Sea (the great unknown), which is a metaphor for movement, risk, and lack of control, as well as power, depth, and imagination.
and
Phillip Melchers - storytelling performance
Phillip’s work explores queerness, spirituality, the human shadow, and personal growth. His stories aim to warm the heart and spark laughter, while also addressing the mysterious bouts of deeply felt melancholy that sometimes beset him. Born in the snowy wastes of Canada, he holds to the belief that even in the coldest of times, a little love is enough to break the ice.
