Open Arts Community Night: Christmas Edition

Join us for a festive evening of: food, storytelling, improvisational comedy theatre and meaningful connection! At the Culture Club, our passion is to develop connection and community by co-creating artistic projects that are open to everybody, regardless of their experience and background. To celebrate and grow our wonderful community, we host a monthly Community Night where we work with local chefs, artists and musicians to create an evening of delicious food, performances and meaningful connection. Join us for the third edition on the 11th of December and become part of what we do! What to expect? 17:30: Doors open 18:00 - 19:00: Meal and Story A local aspiring chef will create and share a meaningful menu from their home country. The chef will collaborate with a visual artist and a storyteller, sharing a personal story which is transformed into a live storytelling performance during dinner. 19:00 - 20:00: Improvisational-Theatre Comedy Performance After dinner, the Utrecht-based theatre group, The Communist Fancy Pesto will perform a 45 minute completely improvised comedy performance based on the audience suggestions. Nothing is rehearsed, nothing is planned! 20:00 - 21:00 Music Programme To round off the evening, The Naughty Elephants band will lead an open stage-jam session that is accessible to anybody, whether they are experienced musicians or have never touched an instrument in their lives. 21:00 - Hangout Time Pricing: We believe that art should be accessible to everyone, so we have included an option to attend for free. However, to pay the artists, musicians, chefs and production team, we are using a tiered pricing system of 10 Euros for a ticket, and a donation 15 or 20 euros to help pay for someone else. The higher you pay, the more we can continue to fund those who cannot afford it.
