What is Koholā? Koholā is a creative vocal platform created by Jeffrey Noordijk and Tim Achthoven. We believe that improvisation opens up a playful field in which we can allow ourselves to explore by saying 'yes' to our creative ideas that arrise in the moment. By sharing our voices without judgement, we lay the foundation for a deep connection to ourselves and to one another. Our goal is to create an inclusive community in which we invite everyone who has a passion for singing and co-creating music on the spot . By organizing versatile gatherings, we will dive into the realm of improvisation through all kinds of playful excercises and circle singing. What is Circle Singing? To sing in a circle is an ancient ritual of humankind. The circle is a powerful shape in which we connect through singing. In the middle of the circle there is a person who invents parts and offers them to the singers. It's always an exciting experience to be a part of these spontanious compositions. You get to vocalize the imagination of the person in the middle and make it your own. It can be harmonious, lyrical and groovy or it could also be loud, experimantal and a little crazy. Everything can happen in the circle. Who is leading this Circle Sing gathering? The gathering will be facilitated by Jeffrey Noordijk and Tim Achthoven. Both are professional and experienced singers / improvisers / facilitators who graduated from the 'All the way in' program, led by the legendary Rhiannon - amongst others known for her book 'Vocal River' and through collaborations with Bobby McFerrin. Do you also want to experience being in the middle of the circle? Feel free to ask! We would like everyone to be able to have this opportunity. Who are Jeffrey Noordijk and Tim Achthoven? Jeffrey Noordijk Jeffrey Noordijk graduated as a creative and versatile singer from the Utrecht Conservatory in 2015. Throughout his career there’s always been a big fascination for the wondrous and adventurous realm of improvisation. Therefore he sings in a vocal improvisation ensemble based in Cologne, called ‘VokalOrchester NRW’, he works as a teacher at the Utrecht Conservatory (Musician 3.0) and he works as an artistic leader / trainer at ‘Stichting Kobranie’ (a conducted improvisation method). To dive even deeper into the material, he studied under Rhiannon during her ‘All the way in’ program. This magical experience made even more clear that he wanted to share this work with as many people as possible. Tim Achthoven After graduating as a saxophone player from the Jazz & Pop department at the HKU, Tim has been training as a singer. Through vocal improvisation, he felt he could express a lot more and took notice of the power it holds when sharing this with other people. Studying with Rhiannon during “All The Way In”, leading several choirs, orchestras and workshops only empowered this feeling. Now, as a chef in a restaurant and studying “Haptonomie”, he’s always singing and looking for that connection everywhere he goes. Do I have to be an experienced singer? Not at all! Everyone is welcome! The only thing we ask is to have an open mind and that you bring your voice. Information Source: Koholā | eventbrite

Texas Chainsaw Improv Massacre* Mixing together the art of long form improv theatre and popular horror genres, The Communist Fancy Pesto invites you to enjoy a show that is part comedy, part horror, with a dash of chaos and a sprinkle of the bizarre. And entirely, completely made-up! *okay so to be completely honest: we might do a differnt popular horror franchise. It's improvised, right? So we don’t actually know what it’s going to be about. Maybe we’ll do… Zombies! Or Sci-Fi! Or like… Clowns? That’s a genre, right? I dunno okay, give me a break, I’m just the guy writing the eventbrite description for a show that hasn't been peformed yet and isn't written donw. But it’ll DEFINITELY be Halloween-y. And improvised. And probably extremely funny. Or at least absurd. You should come watch! Bring a friend! Or a date? You could impress them by taking them to support your local arts scene, way better than taking them to that Halloween party of that friend you haven’t spoken to in 3 months... Listen. I’m going to be honest. You seem cool. And fun. And like someone who knows the interesting, alternative stuff happening around the city. Like this Halloween show made by fellow cool people. Maybe we could even get a drink after? If you don’t bring the date? Am I flirting? Well, I’m not not flirting. See you there? *wink. Thursday 31 Oct and Friday 1 Nov Kargadoor on the Oudegracht 20:30 to 21:30 Standard ticket: 10 eur Instagram: @communistfancypesto Information Source: Communist Fancy Pesto | eventbrite

Op het eiland Krijt kennen de mensen alleen de kleuren zwart en wit. Alle andere kleuren zoals rood, groen en blauw zijn ooit uit hun leven verdwenen. Dat had de vuurdraak gedaan zeggen ze, maar niemand weet nog waarom. Een klein, dapper en nieuwsgierig jongetje gaat op zoek naar het antwoord op deze geheimzinnige vraag. Slaagt hij erin het geheim van de draak op te lossen? Twee acteurs vertellen het verhaal met woorden, liedjes en tekeningen. Met bordkrijt wordt deze voorstelling verbeeld… en soms ook weer uitgeveegd. Deze voorstelling vindt plaats tijdens Winterwinkelen. Tijdens Winterwinkelen kun je lokale producten shoppen in de ateliers van de makers van Vechtclub XL, Kanaal30 en de Createur. De voorstelling is gratis te bezoeken, maar reserveer wel even een ticket. Information Source: Jeugdtheater aan het Kanaal | eventbrite

What happens when Karan Karthik a male Indian comedian living in the Netherlands and Anya Zova a female Russian comedian based in the USA bring their wildly different perspectives on love and dating? You get Love is Profit, an interactive comedy show where love meets bottom lines and passion meets practicality. Armed with wit and plenty of real-life stories, these two comedians dive into the profit-driven side of relationships. They take questions from the crowd about love, dating, and sex—then break down your most complicated romantic dilemmas using a mindset built on ROI and sustainable bonds. Expect a clash of hilarity and insight as they riff off each other’s crazy life experiences and unique cultural takes. From optimizing first dates to calculating the cost-benefit ratio of ghosting, they’re here to make you laugh, think, and question if maybe, just maybe, love and business aren’t so different after all. If you’ve ever wondered whether love is just good business—or if business can lead to love—this show is for you. Bring your questions, bring your dates, and leave with a new outlook (and maybe a few spreadsheets). About the comedians : Anya Zova : Anya Zova’s life story sounds like someone mixed action movies with stand-up comedy—and we mean that literally. Born and raised in Russia, she somehow managed to graduate law school and become a Kickboxing World Champion by 20, because that’s just how she rolls. Then she packed her bags, left Russia, and took her high-kickin’ ambition to America, where she signed with WWE and thought, “Why not add ‘professional wrestler’ to the list?” After a few good slams, she switched gears to acting, showing up on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and MacGyver, among others, and eventually found her true calling: making people laugh. Anya’s spent the last two years globe-trotting, performing stand-up, producing documentaries, and making the rest of us feel like we need more hobbies. In 2023, she launched her own comedy series, “Masters of Comedy,” at the Faena Theater in Miami Beach, because hey, she’s got a lot of stories to tell. Karan Karthik : Karan Karthik : Born in India, grew up in confusion and finding home in the Netherlands.Karan is many things. But most of all, he is a bundle of contradictions. In another life, this stand-up comic from faraway India could have started a cult. In this life, well it's not over, so we never know. But until then he's happy to regale you with stories that are hilarious yet thought-provoking. From prejudice, racism, sexism, and mental health, to relationships, love, and choice, no topic is too controversial or off-limits. This one is guaranteed to have rolling in the aisles, while still making you think. A regular face in the Netherlands comedy circuit, has been a feature in concept shows for more than once in comedy festivals such as UICF, MAD Goat festival. Genial and funny, Karan offers a comedic trip that will twist your sides better than overpriced yoga. Max van Dijk (OMG! Groningen) “Karan brilliantly blends comedy with psychology, leaving audiences both entertained and introspective!” - Rami Nima (Dutch Comedy Legend) IG : @karenwithan_a Information Source: Kult Comedy | eventbrite

Tijdens de Soup & Stories avonden van Verhalenhuis Utrecht eten we eerst vegan soep met brood en daarna worden er zo'n drie (persoonlijke) verhalen gedeeld rond het thema DROOMOPWAARTS. Vervolgens is er ruimte voor verdere dialoog over dit thema en de verhalen. Opgeven om te vertellen kan via: info@verhalenhuisutrecht.nl. Waar droom je van? Welke dromen wortelen in je ziel en wijzen misschien op een dieperliggend verlangen? Wat kun of moet je ermee? Kun je - droomopwaarts zoekend - oude verlangens ontdekken en nieuwe dromen najagen? Misschien worden ze wel een levensopdracht die niet meer te negeren valt. Kortom: welke droom voert jou 'opwaarts'? Information Source: Verhalenhuis Utrecht | eventbrite

Knoei 3+ - Theatra Schoon zal het worden. Dat is haar taak. Alles schoon en netjes. Alleen dat laatste vlekje wegboenen en dan is ze klaar. Wacht, daar zit ook nog een vlek. Bijna klaar. Maar ze is nog lang niet klaar. Het vuil is pas het begin. Van een tocht door de wildernis. Een wereld vol moddermormels, blubberbeesten en stinkdieren. Met haar spons en dweil gaat ze hen te lijf. Of omarmt ze ze juist? Een vrolijke, bijna woordeloze voorstelling over het verlangen naar vies en wild. Een ode aan de fantasie en verbeelding.
