This Sunday we will pick up the lost tradition of the Radical Movie Club to share an interesting documentary!
On Sunday evening, we provide a relaxing way to finish your weekend and start your week with some things to think about: movie screenings in the big and comfy room of Andrými! We want to share interesting / political / unknown / all-time favorite / random movies and spend some good time watching them and talking about them. For everyone who wants to escape a bit from life while learning a few things at the same time!
This time, we are going to screen the documentary “Mr. Gaga”, released in 2015 by Tomer Heymann about the Israeli contemporary dancer and choreographer Ohad Naharin, who developed Gaga, a movement language and pedagogy that has defined his company’s training and continues to characterize Israeli contemporary dance.
“Ohad Naharin, artistic director of the Batsheva Dance Company, is regarded as one of the most important choreographers in the world. Meeting him at a critical turning point in his personal life, this spirited and insightful documentary will introduce you to a man with great artistic integrity and an extraordinary vision. Filmed over a period of eight years, director Tomer Heymann mixes intimate rehearsal footage with an extensive unseen archive and breathtaking dance sequences.
This story of an artistic genius who redefined the language of modern dance is guaranteed to leave you skipping.”
The movie will be in English with German subtitles. There are short parts in the film that are spoken in Hebrew, in these parts we will provide a simultaneous interpretation to English.
Andrými is a radical social center and a community where values of equality and freedom are fought for. It’s purpose is to be an open space for grassroot groups and individuals to meet and organise.
If you like to know more about us, please check out what we stand for.
Accessibility:
The building is currently not wheelchair accessible, but it is our top priority to make it so and we are working on getting city approval to make changes to the building. There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door).
The bathrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building). There is no bathroom on the ground floor. The washrooms are on the upper floor and in the basement. They are gender neutral, and have both adult and child-sized toilets and sinks.

Andrými er flutt í nýtt húsnæði á Bergþórugötu 20. Húsið er því miður ekki aðgengilegt fyrir hjólastóla í augnablikinu en það er mikið forgangsatriði hjá okkur að gera fyrstu hæð hússins aðgengilega sem fyrst. Við erum enn að bíða eftir samningi frá borginni sem myndi gera okkur kleift að gera breytingar á byggingunni. Teikningar af húsinu eru komnar til arkítekts sem er að vinna í teikningu af rampi og aðgengilegu klósetti svo við getum sent þær til Minjastofnunar í umsagnarskyldu og svo til borgarinnar.
Það er eitt þrep við hliðið að garðinum og svo fimm þrep sem leiða upp að aðalinngangi. Hvert þrep er 17sm hátt. Breidd dyra í húsinu er á milli 50sm (dyr að baðherberginu á efri hæð) og 80sm (aðaldyrnar). Dyrnar að fundarherberginu eru 75sm á breidd eins og flestar aðrar dyr í húsinu.
Baðherbergin eru einungis á efri hæð og í kjallara eins og er. Bæði baðherbergin eru kynlaus.

Monthly workshop session led by members of Kvæðamannafélið Iðunn, the organisation set up to preserve and pass on the singing traditons of Iceland (see http://rimur.is/?page_id=367). The aim of the sessions is to learn, practise and share traditional Icelandic folk songs, for example tvísöngur. We will also welcome people from other singing traditions to share their songs. The sessions are open to all. No previous singing experience is necessary. Songs will be taught ‘by ear’, with some notation available for people who find it helpful.
We will make every effort to accommodate everyone who comes. In particular, we are aware that some people are nervous about singing in ‘public’ situations. We will make every effort to make the sessions welcoming and supportive of everyone attending.

In the last years the political theatre became a strong scene in Romania. This will be a short presentation about the radical political movement around the main theatre and art groups/spaces/magazines/platforms. The scene is growing bigger and its influences must be acknowledged. Art has to be instrumentalised!
American Buddhist monk Lama Erik Drew Jung at Andrými!
Come and join us for a cozy evening talk on Tibetan Buddhism with Venerable Bodhi Lama Erik Drew Jung, an American Buddhist monk of the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Lama Erik is a warm and engaging speaker who is on a European tour this month and is visiting Iceland for a week.
Bodhi Lama Erik Drew Jung grew up in Portland, Oregon and at an early age was introduced to Mahayana Buddhism by his father, a practitioner in the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. In 1990, he earned a bachelor degree from The Evergreen State College. In 1994, he received a licensure in acupuncture (Lic. Ac.) from the Worlsey Institute of Classical Acupuncture, and in 2000, a master degree in acupuncture from The Academy for Five Element Acupuncture.
Lama Erik first took refuge in the Three Jewels 1989 with H. H. The Dhali Lama, and in the spring of 2004 met his root teacher, Tibetan meditation master and thirty-third generation Dzogchen lineage holder, H.E. Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche. He took refuge vows with Rinpoche that day, receiving the refuge name Orgyen Thabkey Dorje, and has served and studied closely with his Root Guru ever since.
Since 2004, Orgyen Thabkey Dorje has cumulatively spent more than three years in Dzogchen Buddha Path Retreats and Internships. He took monastic vows in 2008, and since 2010 has worked full time with the Dzogchen Lineage Translation Committee to help Rinpoche compose, translate, and edit the forthcoming Third Edition Buddha Path, along with many other Buddhist texts and sadhanas in English. As well, he has taught Buddhism widely across the U.S., and conducted many overseas teaching tours in Europe and Russia.

Hæ! We would like to invite you all photography lovers to our second gathering at Andrými. We are a bit late in organisation but it’s all good, just a couple of points:
We chose a theme for the assignment of this month; Night. In this case due to the delay we encourage you to take a look into your archive of pics and bring a couple of images. The aim of this exercise is to exchange opinions, points of view and what not while having a discussion and feedback.
Also, regardless the assignment, feel free to bring any material, gear etc. with you. Doubts, questions, ideas or thoughts for next meetings are very welcome as well.
Let’s have a nice meeting and fun!
