This session
This session invites you to explore authentic, playful self-expression through guided exercises, reflection, writing, sharing and performing.
The focus is on being real rather than polished — trusting impulses, meeting others with openness, and stepping gently outside of the masks we wear. The focus is not on being a certain way or performing “well,” but on exploring self-expression, finding your voice, and connecting through shared truths.
The experience unfolds through curiosity, playfulness, and shared presence. The exact moments can’t be predicted, but the intention is clear: connection over perfection, courage over control, and expression over explanation.
About the facilitator
This session is guided by a Berlin-based performer and facilitator with a background in writing, improvisation, and experience-led formats. Having grown up in multiple countries — going to school in Asia to studying in the UK — she brings a cross-cultural sensitivity to how people connect, express themselves, and take creative risks.
She has been designing and running events for nearly a decade, with a focus on creating spaces that feel playful, warm, and grounded. Her approach focuses on creating a light, supportive atmosphere where humour emerges naturally, through listening, spontaneity, and shared moments, rather than pressure or expectations to perform.
Fun fact that she herself only found out in her 30s in a restaurant: In Japanese, her name translates to sushi rice.

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.
Not to confuse you — but to meet you before autopilot takes over.
What Uncommon Club is — and isn’t
Uncommon Club is:
✅ A guided, facilitator-led group experience
✅ Focused on curiosity, embodiment, and human connection
✅ Structured, consent-led, and psychologically safe
Uncommon Club is not:
❌ A party or club night
❌ A dance performance or class
❌ A regular sports class
❌ A networking event
❌ A sexual setting
❌ Therapy, counselling, or psychological treatment
