Radha Agrawal is a shining powerhouse. After experiencing frustration with the nightlife scene, she felt the urge to bring people together and create real connections and community. Wanting to maintain all the things she loved about going out (dancing, creativity, connection) but leave the unsavory spilled drinks and bouncers behind, she launched Daybreaker, a sober early morning dance party that now has over 500K members who participate worldwide. Radha and Fabian get to know each other during a 2015 San Francisco Daybreaker and the Giant DUNDU was a special surprise for the dancing crowd in the Bay Area. The reconnection after her book launch in Los Angeles while Fabian was performing with the Giants of Light at the World´s Best concluded in a ecstatic dance with Baby Soleil in Radah´s belly and the pandemic invited them to cross the big pond virtually and have DUNDU join the Digital Dance parties.Radha shares her entrepreneurial spirit with a three step approach how to find a start-up idea and showcases powerfully why the mindset of iteration is perfection helps to get things started. With her fam of Daybreaker she organises massive online dance-outs and strives to build Joy institutes around the globe. You can experience this Joy practise with the on-demand online training D.O.S.E. (14 days for free) that helps you to connect your neurotransmitter into a vibrant cocktail.In the conversation we covered her journey out of investment banking into becoming a experience designer and community architect, the power of rituals and the need for Belonging. We also recommend to read her Book Belong which is a masterpiece as even before the pandemic the world has been in a state of disconnection and Belong brings powerful tools into the game to "go in to go out" and illustrates in a very visual way how we have to rethink old structures (updating the pyramid of needs)45 minutes with the super spreader of energy just dance away and we can't wait to play together againAs if that wasn’t incredible enough, Radha is the Co-Founder of THINX period underwear which she created with her twin sister Miki Agrawal, is launching a new business, LiveItUp, and now she’s launching her new book, Belong, about finding your people, creating meaningful community, and living a more connected life.Support the show

It is celebration time and time to say thank you. In this episode look back full of gratitude and reflect the inside of 19 episode with change makers, artists and entrepreneurs and guide you on the outlook what to expect.For a lecture, that I was giving at at University about Managing and Leading in Arts & Cultural space, I reflected on the wisdom that was shared with me - the comparison & combination of the business and art hats, that we have to be switching from time to time, the inflection points that are opening these "windows of imagination" and as well the technological advances that are there to come.For the future, I am looking forward to work on a higher frequency ( weekly) and to produced more content out of the wisdom with infographics, blog articles and sound bites.The topics have been wide spread so far from my areas of interest and passion ranging from puppetry to workshop facilitation, agency work, storytelling all the way to the social impact.With the in-depth series, I want to give a more profound but also diverse insight and kick-starting with the "Masters of Clowning" one area that has opened my eyes profoundly. From there on, I am super excited in the advances to technology (AR,VR,AI) but as well trends such as NFT / Crypo Art and how this provides options to create new business models as an artepreneur / entrepenartist or futartist.Also announcing the ideas around my book "Create your own fusion" that will be accompanied with a workshop series and connecting the dots of my journey to kickstart the authorship voyage.Once more, a big thank you to all the helping hands on the way, the listeners, the interviewees and to You.Let me know what you like and what you would change and let us See Arts togetherFollow us on Instagram @SeeArtsNowYou can always reach out to me📧Fabian@see-arts.org📲+49160/2050425🕸Calendly.com/Falabares🎭www.see-arts.org🧬Linktr.ee/SeeArtsSupport the show

This podcast is with purpose and a call-to-action. This weekend, Phare - the Cambodian Circus is hosting the PhareGala21 and due to Covid it is happening online. In order to get more attention Phare has challenged itself and goes for the Guiness World Record for the longest Circus Show (24 hours + 1 minute). With over 90 artists and the approach of blending the different circus production into something unique, you can be excited.In the conversation Osman shares his believe of the transformative power of the Arts and gives us an insight into the situation for Cambodia and especially the Phare Social Performing Enterprise through CoronaHow to Join the Gala:Worldwide! Settle down comfortably in front of your screen, at the most convenient hour in your time zone. There will be two repeated gala events to make sure as many people as possible can enjoy. **US / CANADA - SATURDAY MARCH 6TH**7pm (PST) or 9pm (CST)**AUSTRALIA / ASIA / EUROPE - SUNDAY MARCH 7TH**1.30pm (ACDT)or 10am or 8pm (ICT)or 2pm (CET) or 1.30pm (CET for French speakers)***HOW TO JOIN***You can register in less than a minute here: www.bit.ly/pharegala21*****WHO WE ARE***** Phare Phare Ponleu Selpak was founded more than a quarter of a century ago, by nine Cambodians, who grew up in a refugee camp after surviving the genocide of the Khmer Rouge, and their French arts teacher. Resilience and hope has been in Phare’s DNA from the very beginning, and from a simple arts school it blossomed into the multi-faceted creative hub it is today. Phare educates and trains thousands of children and youth who come from challenging backgrounds. Most receive a mainstream education which helps them thrive as adults, but others become artists, performers and musicians who keep Cambodia's creative culture alive after its almost total destruction by the Khmer Rouge. We offer them social support, education and arts programs so they can build their future and support their families through creative careers.*****WHY THIS EVENT IS ESSENTIAL FOR OUR SURVIVAL*****Over the years we have sought not to rely on handouts for our work and reached 60% financial self-sustainability through ticket sales to our celebrated and famous circus. Unfortunately, COVID-19 shut down our performances and left us with a dramatic shortfall. Today we are very concerned about our community and the most vulnerable who depend on our support on a daily basis. We need to raise money to keep our life-saving, life-changing programmes alive during this crisis.Support the show

Today, we are talking about the future of the events industry and I have the big pleasure to welcome Christopher Werth with us – he is the Director of Strategy & Concept of VOK DAMS – globally leading event agency head-quartered in Wuppertal with offices from Shanghai to New York and Sao Paulo. He has made an interesting professional journey that has led him to this challenging position, and I can´t wait to get his global perspective of the future of our beloved meeting and events industry, the creative surprises of 2020 and what to expect in the future with a look into technological advances, the role of the arts and the methodology Vok Dams uses to create meaningful encounters and stay ahead.In the conversation, we explore current technologies such as VR and Christopher reveals his passion for both the opera and gaming. He takes us on his journey from assistant director in theatres, via stations as EXPO2020, and copywriting jobs into live communication.  Today it feels as a perfect fusion and looking backwards it does totally make sense, but on the road it wasn't clear at all. It was about following the passion and taking the leap of faith in the right momentsHe shared the analogy of the story of  "hare & tortoise" and how it relates to the slow and quick hunches in the creative process hence showcasing the power and importance of creative (self-)confidence.A fruitful discussion and exchange of the flow of events, adrenalin in the digital arena and 6 major steps to take into consideration if you want to create a events that matter:Hybrid is here to stay.Concept is key and below 6 spices Christopher mentioned1st: Interaction, participation, co-creation2nd: Sensory experience, haptic moment3rd: For digital - plan it shorter episodes - not full days4th: Timing and precise dramturgy5th: environment for networking:Learn from TV - they are doing a lot to make it look interesting6th: The Power of Content:--> if you mix these 6 factors, you can have a successful (digital) eventChristopher's Gaming Columnhttp://culturmag.de/author/christopher-werthWhite Papier: The learning from the hybrid & digital journeyhttps://www.vokdams.de/news/detail/article/the-learnings-from-439-hybrid-and-digital-events.htmlReach out to him @krrystoffer for more inspiration and meet him as well on diverse sets of Clubhouse talks and connect on LinkedInIf you want to learn more about his company VOKDAMS.de and their methodologyand follow us on Instagram  @SeeArtsNow - share your feedback and your learnings from this episode.Support the show

 Today, we are talking about creative pivots and the Event Design Collective has been shaping the way towards better events. The whole events industry got massively disrupted and we want to ask Ruud Jansen about the state of the union of events: The Switzerland based Entrepreneur Ruud Janssen has been an innovator and game changer in the Hospitality and Meetings & Events Industry since 1994. With his business partner Roel Frissen he co-created Event Canvas methodology and with an evergrowing community, this collective aims at creating common language for Meetings & Events. Ruud shares with us with story of growing up in different countries around the globe and experience a variety of cultures with a fascination for learning languages.  For him the event canvas is what sheet music is to musician. A way to decode and collaboratively understand that the goal of an event is to create a certain change within the stakeholders and ultimately create value.The power of a piece of paper lays in the context that people can relate to it and how memories and stories used to be shared, the printing press allowed the further spreading and learning of the past knowledge beyond verbal storytelling. The event canvas takes the gut feeling that we all have and makes it more accessible and visible.In the process, that I have gone through as well to be come a Certified Event Designer, there are certain challenges as a team but this process showcases once more that if you are learning together, you are staying together as the curious way of learning something also bonds synapse and at the same time powerful human connection are built. Nobody likes to change but in the present moment we need to get digital dexterity to stay on top of our game what Ruud accomplished with his team through continuously testing, prototyping and setting a certain standard. (e.g. a spare modem!!)He stays motivated through learning and in his mastermind practise he appreciates the work of Paul Rulkens and his theme of strategic quitting.An interesting way to discover the digital pivot is for Ruud that awareness that the from home facilitation allows him some 60-70 days due to no travelling. He recommends to use these times for new experiences and not doing more of what has already been done. HIs master decompression hack is the alphorn which also helped him to become a more reliable member of the local musical community.He recommends to hack your own creativity in talking and listening to inspiring persons and explore unexplored spaces together with them. Meanwhile, he loves these adventures, there is also some highly systemic parts of his life e.g. the rhythmic clock of his dogs.The main chance of events from an organisational perspective is as well that is gives an outside person a DNA of the company - a gradient of the abilities and on the long run, events can be also viewed as "living organism" with a certain human note to it - meaning that events that have happened for more than two decades might be in a mid-life crisis with the need to reinvent and other events going through a teenage phase or are still in a diaper-start-up mode. It is interesting to discover the rejuvenation potential or at least stay young at heart.For the online facilitation, it requires some ability to improvise and think three steps ahead, but at the same time one hack is to point out upfront that "if we don't break anything, we aren't experiencing" hard enough as a kind of jail free card with connotation to celebrate failure.More information about the Event Design Collective with great free resources www.eventdesigncollective.com#EventCanvasSupport the show

As a one man show or with his 20 minute solo program during guest appearances together with renowned bands – from Hamburg to Munich to Paris – Robeat is on the move everywhere. On German TV he has appeared on several shows repeatedly, proving his TV-qualities and entertaining the whole nation with his beatbox show.

In the third inspiration solo we are covering breath: Both physically with some exercises from Yoga and puppetry but as well as the metaphor for a world that has gotten out of breath and that is seeking for a reconnection. The long breath in the context of the cultural life that has been shutdown or is actually in a second lock down describes as well the need to stay patient and stay #coronacreative during these pandemic times. Let us breathe consciously and reconnect with this inner force that is the only thing guiding us from the very first moment until the bittersweet end.Support the show

We are lifting up with Marie and her works of art into another dimension: The essence and power of her works is generating volatile states of suspension and allowing the spectators to witness these precarious equilibriums in awe while leaving and allowing the open space for interpretation in a collective awe. Marie takes us on her story how she uses physical and natural phenomena and the power of observation to create poetic moments. In her literally boundless experiments at the edges, she leads her audience beyond their usual perception, telling her very own story while leaving a bit of romantic freedom to the viewers to decide for themselves, how deep they are ready to go.The motivation for Marie Lienhard's artistic practice is the fascination for the elasticity of our self- and externally controlled perceptual behaviour, which she questions using the limits of physical laws and a constant search for fragile equilibriums. Installation, virtual reality, performance, photography and drawing are the starting point of her internationally represented works and exhibitions.Support the show

We celebrate our 10th episode with the Art of Storytelling:We get to know Brendan, who grew up in Australia and at an early age got inspired in the world of contemporary circus with physical storytelling. Touring the world as a kid and training heavily while attending school brought him then into the world of dance and physical theatre:From creative productions that filled town squares, he had the chance to take part in the ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Sydney 2000.With 23 years, Brendan changed roles and left the stage behind to bring his own visions as a creative director to his global audiences and followed the increasing personal desire to create something personal and unique: Empowered by a variety of scholarships and development grants, Brendan explored global theater companies (such as Groupe F) and on this journey found is very own style of staging that can be currently witnessed within BattleRoyal:BattleRoyal in a way describes the struggle and fight of all artists to follow their passion, but also to make a living without simply following a commercial path, and as we learn in the podcast, BattleRoyal has become this sweet spot for Brendan.Though the Covid-Times also slowed down the "business as usual", it also freed the creative interdisciplinary team from the "regular" noise and allowed a focused inspiring work for the celebration of Esch 2022 as European cultural Capital.

Anthony takes us on his journey of becoming: Landing in Grenoble at the European Juggling Convention opened his horizon and he couldn't return to the UK where he had graduated in Chemistry but travelled and found then his creative home base in Rome. From there he started blending together different performing and movement disciplines, attended the Dimitri School in Ascona and until today he performs in a unique way and teaches a very holistic approach of performance and art in one of a kind retreats. With his both theatrical and philosophical views, he is contributing to an ever evolving circus scene and is still hungry and more than that full of play.Fabian was diving in with him into moments of flow, the approaches shared in Pearls of Juggling and as well how he is creativity pivoting with online courses as all live shows are still cancelled.The conversation led to deeply philosophical topics from the future of education towards areas about give & take and how the balance that we can learn through juggling & movement can also shape our lives.Biography:Anthony Trahair is an advocate of the transformative power of play for individuals, groups, processes and just about everything!Playfulness has played a central role in his activities for many years. In juggling, in Yoga for children, as facilitator and in life. He believes that we can all live better when we (re)learn to play and take ourselves a little less seriously!Author of the book Pearls of Juggling in English, Italian and soon German!https://pearlsofjuggling.wordpress.comAnthony created the playfulness festival GIOCOSAMENTE and is founder of the project PlayfuLife. www.giocosamentefestival.euwww.playfulife.orgFollow him on his journey https://www.facebook.com/pearlsofjugglingthebook/ Support the show

In this episode I have three exciting topics for you a) #Kulturschutzgebiet b) The Year of Re....... c) The Arts as Saviour of Humanity (I know it is provocative) a) We kickstart with a bit of a German lesson:Kultur-Schutz-Gebiet literally translates into Cultural protected area or a cultural reserve and we are questioning what is a creative space for you? For me, I am see two major areas that we need to foster creativity: Zooming Out and getting inspired in open wide spaces where we can collect inspiration and then Zooming in and connecting the dots in a blackbox setting where we come focus, experiment, destruct and disrupt and prototype. Ideation meets RealizationIn the current situation the Arts & Culture need support as the produced pieces can't be shown in a typical setting with all cultural institutions still closed down or far-distanced from a new normal scheduleWhat are your creative spaces?b) From Space into TimeRe translates into back or again in Latin. While I hope we are not going to far back, it is the time to re-flect, re-think, re-imagine and hopefully not re-gret too much but re-start and re-ignite our creative engines. What did you Re-________ in 2020 and how does this shape a possible future for you and your surrounding.c) Arts as the SaviourWith the ongoing technological change, I am aware of possible concerns but I am still too optimistic that on the long run technology can provide as a human(e) free space to come back to our creative (artistic) heritage: Become creators and shapers againWith the Arts we have a great access point to the Flow state - this peak state of performance when we feel and perform our best. While technology is exponentially growing we have to ride the flow have to become exponentially human in order to create both on an individual but also a group and community level this awareness of the power of human connection & creation.

"Hagen Springe Festival" and "Hagen blossoms" were created by Peter and still take place very successfully every year in the city. In 2000 Peter took up a position as Event Manager in an agency near Mainz and then as Director Event Marketing at the advertising agency Publicis in Hamburg and Erlangen. After a stop over in a PR agency in Hamburg, Peter Cramer founded his own communication agency "Panem et Circenses" in Hamburg in March 2010. Inspired by the possibilities of social media for events, Peter published the first reference book about the symbiosis of social media and events in early 2011. In 2012 he and his agency will focus on online content MICE marketing for international providers in the German-speaking target markets. For the client Switzerland Tourism, the agency designed the first online MICE newsroom for the German-speaking target markets Germany and Austria in 2012. This was the first MICE newsroom for a destination ever. Further online MICE Newsrooms followed and in 2013 the online site and community with the brand "MICEboard" which bundles the content of all MICE Newsrooms and provides event planners with information and inspiration from numerous international destinations. Today, MICEboard is the largest German-speaking online community aimed at event planners from event agencies, companies and associations. Every month the site has numerous visitors from Germany, Austria and Switzerland who use MICEboard to plan their international events, incentives, meetings and congresses. After MICEboard successfully helps event planners online to generate business, Peter created in 2012 the networking event "MICE by melody" with the aim of bringing suppliers and buyers together for business in real life. "MICE by melody" broke with all the usual rules of similar events and caused quite a stir in the MICE industry worldwide. With the trade events "MICE BOAT" and "MICE PEAK" the agency set new benchmarks in the MICE industry. No other events in the MICE industry worldwide combines online and offline into a hybrid event as intensively as the MICEboard sales and marketing events. The "MICE BOAT" - a trade event on the transatlantic Ocean Liner Queen Mary 2 as part of a sea voyage - is legendary. December 2018 saw the premiere of the MICEboard Podcast - the first ever podcast for the MICE industry and event industry. Since 2020, "MICEboard Stream TV" complements the podcast with a visual component and the media service offers of the agency. Peter's agency "Panem et Circenses" has created with the brand "MICEboard" a multichannel communication channel through which its international clients, such as the tourism authorities of Switzerland, Singapore, Japan, Catalunya, Vilnius, Riga, Finland, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, UK, Spain, Korea, etc., successfully reach event planners in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.  MICEboard.compec-kommunikation.deSupport the show
