Featured Events in Utrecht in February, 2025 (June Updated)

Loge Ultrajectina organiseert regelmatig activiteiten voor belangstellenden, zoals een gastlezing, een open avond om een eerste indruk van vrijmetselarij te ervaren of een vrijblijvend persoonlijk gesprek. De volgende gelegenheid is gepland op 24 februari 2025 (inloop vanaf 19.30 uur, aanvang 20.00 uur) met gastspreker JanPieter van Lieshout. Onderwerpen die aan de orde komen zijn dans, beweging en persoonlijke groei. Dansmeester JanPieter van Lieshout publiceerde in 2017 zijn autobiografie 'van ballroom tot boardroom'. De titel van dit boek mag letterlijk worden genomen. Zijn huidige werk richt zich namelijk op teams uit het bedrijfsleven, publiek domein, zorg, onderwijs en NGO's. In deze gastlezing vertelt hij hoe de dans hem op jonge leeftijd begeesterde en hoe hij de switch maakte van amateur naar professional en van een succesvolle dansschoolhouder tot een internationaal gevraagde trainer/inspirator in teambuilding. JanPieter zal uitleggen hoe hij de Sensedance methode en de workshops DanceScan en TeamScan ontwikkelde en welke resultaten daarmee worden bereikt. Indien wij -zijn toehoorders- dit wensen, dan zal hij ons ook in beweging brengen. De avond wordt mede georganiseerd om geïnteresseerden kennis te laten maken met Loge Ultrajectina. Wat wellicht op zal vallen is dat vrijmetselaren proberen niet te discussiëren, maar compareren. Wat dat is? We gaan we in gesprek en leggen onze vragen, gedachten en denkbeelden naast die van de spreker. Doel is dus niet: anderen overtuigen van je gelijk, maar meer inzicht verschaffen in hoe anderen denken – en ook hoe je zelf denkt. Information Source: Loge Ultrajectina | eventbrite

Exhibition on the occasion of the publication of Erik de Graaf's graphic novel of the same name. The graphic novelist honours the famous painter with a colourful story about the last eventful years of his life in Paris, London and New York. On view now until 13 April 2025. Almost everyone knows Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) as the revolutionary painter of red, white, blue and yellow planes divided between tight black lines. Less well known is that the artist saw it as his task to strive for balance and harmony in his compositions, as a blueprint for a better world. The exhibition Mondrian, a better world, on show from 19 October at the Mondrian House, explores Mondrian's philosophical and idealistic side. The occasion for this exhibition is the publication of Erik de Graaf's graphic novel of the same name. In the fist-sized publication, the graphic novelist depicts how Mondrian spent the last 11 years of his life moving from Paris, to London and eventually to New York, fleeing the rising tide of Nazism in Europe. Against the backdrop of World War II, Mondrian continued to search until his death for a way to bring light to the increasing darkness in the world.

De voorstelling is zonder woorden, maar met veel (bouw)geluiden en grappige slapstick situaties. Met blokjes en stoere bouwers van hout voeren de spelers het spannende en gedurfde plan van Sjoerd uit.

De Schaduw van de Meester van Julius Rooymans De werken van de wereldberoemde Hollandse Meesters Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer, Jan Steen, Vincent van Gogh en Mondriaan komen op een fascinerende manier samen in dit grootse project van kunstenaar Julius Rooymans, bekend van de productie ‘Nachtwacht360 - De Keerzijde van Kunst’. De bijzondere samenwerking met AFAS heeft dit nieuwe project mogelijk gemaakt. Eenmaal per maand organiseren wij een bijzondere bijeenkomst waar Julius de werken presenteert en de uitgebreide film over het maakproces te zien is. Daarna kun je in het AFAS theater de werken bekijken en de bijbehorende audiotour beluisteren. ​Dankzij de royale medewerking van gerenommeerde instituten als Museum Vrolik, Collectie Six, Museum het Rembrandthuis, Allard Pierson en bekende verzamelaars-antiquairs zijn er talrijke historische en originele voorwerpen als serviezen, wapens en decors te zien op de werken. Geholpen door de expertise en tomeloze toewijding van vakmensen als meester-grimeur Arjen van der Grijn, kostuumontwerpster Catherine Cuykens, kunsthistoricus Marieke de Winkel en vele coupeurs, zijn de kostuums, sieraden en haarwerken historisch kloppend gemaakt tot in de kleinste details.

One night only! Great comedy from America and incredible bluegrass music. If you enjoy history, journalism, libraries, banjos, archives, or humor discovered in unusual places, then this is the show for you. This is unlike any comedy show you've seen. All the humor is inspired by actual, strange public documents, such as: FCC complaints about Big Bang Theory being too violent, FBI profiles of sports stars, and creative immigration applications. The band includes Maddie Witler (Della Mae, Lonely Heartstring Band), Kathleen Parks (Twisted Pine), Austin Alfano, Chris Lord, and Nick Conte. Come for the bluegrass, stay for the laughs. Or come for the laughs, and be pleasantly surprised by the music. Questions? Contact Curtis Raye: foiacomedy@gmail.com FAQs Why comedy AND bluegrass? We LOVE public records, but we know it's not a great idea to talk about them for 90 minutes straight. So we've assembled incredible musicians to make this a complete night of entertainment. Is this really a comedy show about public records? That sounds....unusual. Absolutely. We're nerds for public records, and we are comedy writers in New York. This show combines those two passions. I like bluegrass but know nothing about public records. Is this show for me? Definitely. The musical line-up is incredible, so you'll be happy. And you'll also enjoy the public records part of the show. It's funny, and you may learn something. Can I bring my children? The public record does contain several references to adult topics (Americans are naughty, you know?), so keep that in mind. But they'll certainly enjoy the music. Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? No. Who is the host? Curtis Raye has spent time in Washington DC, New York City, and working on a presidential campaign in Iowa. He's observed the inherent comedy in public records. School board meetings, court testimony, and even White House menus are treasure troves of human folly. And he has assembled the most absurd ones in a tightly packed 90 minute live evening of comedy and bluegrass. Why are we in The Netherlands? We have a feeling that you enjoy smart humor and blazing fast string music. It's our first overseas tour! Please come see our unique show. You won't regret it! Meet the Band: Mandolin: Maddie Witler (Lonely Heartstring Band, Della Mae) Kathleen Parks (Twisted Pine) Guitar: Nick Conte (Blue Plate Special) Bass: Austin Alfano (Red Tailed Rounders) Banjo: Chris Lord (The Vanguards) Information Source: Curtis Raye | eventbrite

Filmmaker, muzikant maar vooral geboren verteller Leon Giesen kan als geen ander stilstaan bij zaken waar de meeste mensen, op het eerste gezicht totaal terecht, straal aan voorbij lopen. Hij daarentegen gaat op onderzoek en ontdekt de wonderlijkste dingen. Die deelt hij weer in Mondo Leone (De Wereld van Leon). Een even vanzelfsprekende als unieke combinatie van film, muziek en natuurlijk verhaal. Als documentairemaker won hij een televisieprijs: ‘Het Gouden Beeld’, voor zijn film 'Van America helemaal naar Amerika’, over Rowwen Hèze. Hij liet dit vergulde beeldje in plakken zagen en creëerde zo zijn eigen prijs: ‘Het Gouden Randje’. Voor mensen die, zonder dat iemand er om gevraagd had, geprobeerd hebben de wereld een beetje mooier te maken. Een ‘Gouden Randje’ ging naar het prachtige akkoord dat treinen in Amerika toeteren. Een ander naar het werk van Ben Wilson die in Londen, op plakjes kauwgom op de stoep, miniatuurschilderijtjes maakt. Maar ook andere verrassende en soms ontroerende initiatieven werden door Leon Giesen op zijn eigen manier geëerd. Op 28 februari zal hij in Het Verhalenhuis, met film en muziek, een aantal van deze inspirerende verhalen vertellen. Information Source: Verhalenhuis Utrecht | eventbrite
