15:30 - 17:30 Movement in Writing with Alper Bayraklı

Dance is fleeting and disappears quickly, but what if writing could give dance a new life? In the Movement in Writing workshop, you’ll discover how dance can inspire you to write in a new way. Not by describing what you see, but by transforming movements into language, rhythm, and form. The workshop begins with a live dance performance, Encounters with Eli, showing how encounters influence our bodies and emotions. Afterwards, you get to work yourself: which movement sparks which thought for you? You will learn to write from your feelings and body—from your experience to what you can express. This way, you discover how dance and writing can strengthen each other and help you understand yourself better. This workshop is specially designed for anyone curious about new ways to express themselves and is led by Alper Bayraklı, a young theatre maker with a background in dance and theatre. Join us and be surprised by what dance and writing can do together!

19:30 - 21:30 Crazy Music Bingo with Joost de Host

Get ready for an evening full of music, fun, and loud “BINGO!” shouts during Crazy Music Bingo with Joost the Host. We’ll kick off with a short mingle where you meet other students in small groups—a fun and relaxed way to form your bingo team. Then the party really starts: Joost the Host guides you through a bingo filled with smashing hits, unexpected twists, and hilarious moments. This is no ordinary bingo, but a musical experience you won’t forget anytime soon. So come along, sing along, play along—and maybe you’ll go home a winner!

Clothing Swap

Got a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear? Familiar and frustrating. Not only for your closet and wallet, but also for the environment and people. Luckily, there’s a sustainable and fun solution: clothing swapping! The saying “out with the old, in with the new” no longer applies. Throwing away clothes is wasteful, and constantly buying new ones isn’t sustainable. But fashion—and especially the hunt for that one perfect piece—is a passion for many. Trends come and go, your body and style change. Unfortunately, both our planet and our closets are not black holes, so something has to give. That’s why, after the Warm Welcome Week, we’re organizing a clothing swap at VOX-POP. Shopping with a drink and some music, but without fast fashion. Will you join us?
