12-28 August 2011, Berlin | The Leave a Message booth will be set up in the foyer of the Podewil, allowing spectators to leave a voice message for the festival’s artists and public.  Spectators are invited to enter this comfortable space, where they can take a moment alone to question and reflect on their experience of the festival.  The collected comments, the festival’s multiple voice, will be available on the kom.post internet platform, creating a bank of information around each piece which is open for comment, discussion, and debate, and nourishing kom.post’s activities at the festival.

Around the Table is an international project inviting a wide range of people who have a professional practice involving the body to exchange their knowledge and approaches with a small public. The project’s aim is to improve the circulation of information and encourage dialogue, involving the citizen in the sharing and development of body knowledge and practice.
The space and form chosen for the event is a reflection of the city and its inhabitants, of the way that people meet and interact within a specific urban culture and context.  The Berlin edition of Around the Table will take the form of a picnic in the Podewil garden, inviting the public to join one of several picnic blankets where an invited speaker waits to share his knowedge over a glass and a bite to eat.
