Programm

Origin is a centre of motion, it's a place where different circles of people collide and give life to something new. It is the connection with our instincts and memories. Origin is a tribe of elements, driving the physical reaction to primitive pulses and common sake for exhilarating electronic music.
It is past, present and future meeting in one single core unified by dance.

// Origin Crates
Courtesy of Djs from our past events and our residents showcasing some Gems from their collection.
This is the first vinyl market and the launch of a new piece of Origin, to dig and keeping the underground alive. Come pick them fresh.
We will have listening stations.

//Send to Give
This Origin edition will raise funds for SendToGive.
SendToGive combines creativity and culture for social impact. We bring together artists from every discipline, age, and aspiration and enable them to collaborate on a platform that not only gives them visibility but a meaningful purpose behind their work.

//Raclée
Raclée is the brainchild of Florence and Amélie, a French/British partnership who met and joined forces through their love of cheese. While Florence has worked in the business for nearly 7 years both selling and making cheese, Amélie began her path in cheese among the cows during her season as a cheesemaker in the Swiss mountains. The two worked together at the Kreuzberg cheese shop Alte Milch, and the rest is history. Meet like minded people and enjoy a cold beer when listening to one of the panel talks with music professionals

♫ THE JAM CATS SESSION ♫
HEY, YOU COOL CATS!

The Jam Cats live session is a dancing jam session with a different opening band each time. It carries on the legacy of old jazz mingling live sessions and DJ sets.
We want everyone to have fun, dancers and musicians alike with a stage open for early Jazz, Swing, RnB, and other fun styles to dance to with a focus on Balboa since we are operating with Bellmer Balboa. However, we are a separate event and we often cross over between different sub-genres of jazz and swing.
The jam will be run by members of the Syncopation Society to ensure that the party flows, allowing everyone to dance,
or simply sit back and enjoy the music.

DISCLAIMER FOR MUSICIANS
Coming to the JAM CATS grants you free entrance. Just keep in mind that this is a DANCE EVENT and it implies being reactive and keeping your solos short and sweet. If you are up for it, be prepared to be reactive on stage. If you want to play, make it clear and talk to one of the musicians on stage to see when is a good time to step in. There's a piano on the stage with atmospheric amplification.

CODE OF CONDUCT:
The official restrictions are lifted for now, but we still recommend doing a test before you come anyway.
It is our aim to create a safe, respectful and welcoming environment for everybody. Within the Syncopation Society, we are working to develop an anti-racist and feminist common ground. Through self-education, we are striving to recognise and stop racist, discriminatory, sexist and homophobic behaviour, as well as other forms of social injustice. We want to remove the barriers established by economic inequality. Important to us is also that the venue of the festival is accessible for people with all kinds of physical conditions.
We want to celebrate diversity in all its forms. We invite you to do the same. We seek to recognise unconscious bias and act against obvious or micro-aggressions of others. As we might not be aware of everything, please help us and let us know if you are missing essentials that you need to feel included and comfortable, or if you experience or witness an unpleasant situation. We are always available for you.

As a collective made up of musicians, DJs and dancers the Syncopation Society feels deeply that it is vital, not only to give recognition to the creators of the music we perform and dance to but to also acknowledge the world in which they lived and the struggles they faced, due to historical and structural racism. We aim to keep educating ourselves on Black heritage. Avoiding cultural appropriation requires an amount of reverence and acknowledgement of history and context. This challenge is important to us in many aspects of life.

Smut Slam Berlin: because people travel a long way for lust and love.

Berlin’s only community dirty storytelling open mic comes inside for the season, with SmutSlam creator Cameryn Moore back behind the wheel, on Nov 20 at 7pm CET. The theme? "ROAD TRIP"!

Tickets: €15-20 sliding scale donation per person in advance, €20 cash at the door. Low-income €10 rush tickets available at the door ONLY, if any tickets remain unsold at time of show.

Buy them at: https://www.eventbrite.com/.../smut-slam-berlin-road-trip...

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

8-10:30pm: Smut Slam, in the old-fashioned way (with one short intermission)
10:30-whenever: stay for a little longer, we don't have to worry about neighbors here!

Created by professional perv Cameryn Moore, SmutSlam features real-life, first-person sx stories from the audience, stories from guests and sometimes even celebrity judges, and also readings from THE FUCKBUCKET, a convenient and funnily named receptacle for all your anonymous questions and confessions!

IMPORTANT: Smut Slam is queer-friendly, k!nk- AND vanilla-friendly, fat-friendly, sx worker-friendly, virgin-friendly, polyamory-friendly, we're really, really friendly. We welcome people with all types and amounts of sxual experiences. We DO NOT welcome stories or fuckbuckets involving racism, sxism, homophobia, transphobia or any other kind of discrimination, or nonconsensual objectification or fetishization. All activities discussed must be CONSENSUAL.

SMUTSLAM is CREATED by Cameryn Moore, an award-winning playwright/performer, sx activist and educator, and former phone sx operator. When not performing, riding the train, or actually having sx herself, Cameryn writes Sidewalk Smvt: custom type-written erotica as street performance and literary art.

WE PRACTICE SAFER SMVT! DO NOT ATTEND if you are feeling poorly! There will be more slams!
*** We encourage mask use indoors. This remains one of the best ways to protect yourself against getting sick from COVID or any of the other airborne diseases going around.
*** Crack Bellmer has a government-certified machine that exchanges all the air in the room every 10-15 minutes. Included in that system is a HEPA filter.
*** TESTING NOTICE: Please bring photo of same-day negative test results, or come early to take a self-test at the door (for €2, thank you!). We will have Smutterlings on hand to assist. IF YOU TEST POSITIVE, we will have to send you home.
** As always, we are closely watching current COVID-19 rates, and as things change, one way or the other, we may loosen or tighten our pandemic protocols. We will never surprise you with changes, but tell you in advance, so you can make informed decisions. Smut Slam keeps both comfort and well-being in mind, for the community!

PLEASE NOTE: We have a strong Code of Conduct for everyone at a slam. We try very hard to run the event accordingly, and we want attendees to actually pay attention so you can help us create this safer space: https://docs.google.com/.../120FTNtC47HhNIEP91TXp.../edit... Please do take a moment to read this statement, thank you!

ACCESSIBILITY: The venue is wheelchair accessible; we are checking about accessibility of toilets.

After our collaboration in Amsterdam earlier this year, it became clear that we should invite this talented and joyful group of three to our Berlin homebase asap.
And to wrap up this year, we finally made it happen.
Join us on November 18th for the final exploration of 23’ and witness Rite of Passage x Explorers team up in full force once again.
The visual journey, as always, will be curated by Jonza.
