While the event itself is free of charge, **consumption at the venue is compulsory.** We appreciate your understanding that our team works voluntarily, but the venue needs to pay rent and other bills :) In this event you will explore: In this digital day and age artists are being pushed further to the periphery and the music industry is becoming increasingly unsustainable. Learn more about this topic, follow along a story of a local DJ collective and find out more about actionable steps you can take to help support musicians. 🎶 🌱**Swap Shop**🌱: To encourage circular economy - **Bring your pre-loved items** like a book, a mug, or a painting with you and give your items an opportunity **to find a new home.** They will be laid out on a table during the mid-event break for everyone to see and pick! (No clothing please, but accessories are more than welcome) What a great way to reduce waste! *The interactive talk will begin at 19:00 sharp, please aim to arrive at 18:45 to have time to check-in at the entrance and grab a drink at the bar* 😊 Disclaimer: We take photos at the event and record the conversation for follow up and material distribution with the participants and use some selected photos on our social media pages.

Circle Song: Improvised Body Music

Thu, Sep 17, 4:30 PM
From BARCELONA GREEN DRINKS
4.8

**Invitation** **We are the instruments.** A participatory, improvised, embodied practice that reconnects us to one another through rhythm, voice, and play. This is a guided yet fully improvised experience, using the facilitation tools and methods of [Musica do Circulo](https://www.musicadocirculo.com/en). No prior experience is required, only an openness to connect with other humans in your own fun, light and authentic way. Circle songs are an invitation into a fully immersive, fully improvised musical experience using vocals, body percussion and movement. It draws inspiration from musical embodied rhythm practices from around the world, including call-and-response singing, rhythmic clapping games and circle song traditions. *"We are doing something that is so human and so needed, something that we've forgotten." - Igor, circle participant May 2025* Simply by standing in a circle and connecting with our bodies as our instruments, we are reminded that we can find joy and meaning right here in this present moment, and in the next. **This event is donation-based. What does this mean?** It means pay if and what you can, so that everyone can join. It also means spreading the word and bringing your friends to keep this going strong! If you think your company, organisation, team, or event could benefit from a similar experience — please reach out. That's how we sustain it in the long run. **Doors close at 18.45** [Join the WhatsApp community](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IEKLeWAAIxP0I2MFUaSP1c?mode=gi_t) to contact the organisers and stay up to date on all circles! **About Matteo (facilitator):** Matteo is a creative facilitator who uses embodied practices — music, theatre, play — to spark connection and joy. He has spent the last seven years working with Greenpeace and organising the Climate Justice Camps, a global gathering of thousands of young people from around the world. He is a trained Música do Círculo leader\*.\* *[www.matteodevos.com](http://www.matteodevos.com)* **About Barcelona Green Drinks by Apocapoc BCN, lab de practicas sostenibles y regenerativas** *Creemos firmemente que para ser eficientes y saludables en el manejo de la actual crisis ambiental y social, necesitamos equiparnos con herramientas y conocimientos que nos ayuden a empoderarnos y cultivar nuestra "esperanza activa".

**You've studied the grammar for years — so why does speaking English still feel so hard?** If that sounds familiar, this is the class for you! Each week I run a class for B1-C1 speakers who want to build fluency and confidence speaking English. It follows a simple format: a quick ice-breaker, a short focus on useful vocabulary, then a guided discussion or debate — all in the relaxed setting of a bar, with other learners at your level, plus feedback on your English at the end of each session. Led by Jay Munro, a Cambridge-certified (CELTA) British English teacher with 17 years of experience. 📍 Ogham Bar, Barcelona 🕗 Every Tuesday, 7:00–8:30 PM 🗣️ B1–C1 English level 👥 Max 10 people 💶 €5 per person (cash preferable) \*\*You must also buy at least one drink at the bar (soft drinks count) Message me on Meetup if you have any questions, or if you're unsure your level fits. Spaces are limited — book your spot via Meetup and also confirm your attendance on our WhatsApp group to confirm your spot, here's the link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HQhj99GlK9s5h7RHSpTnea?s=cl&p=a&mlu=4&ilr=4
