    Great space for local Algerian folk rock band with space for dancing too
    Prairie S.

    In a city full of conformist government bureaucrats or technocrati who are largely left-brained-ruled, it's hard to find locally-grown art, music, dance, and bohemian culture. Enter Creative Cauldron into the culturally-emaciated landscape of Washington DC . How terrific to find this living-room sized, arena stage. The performance space here is intimate, the atmosphere eclectic, and the walls, covered in creations of local artists. The theater is located in a colorless, modern edifice on a backstreet in Falls Church. It's just a block from Pizzeria Orso. The entry lobby has a small bar serving wine/beer. The inner chamber is the theater, with a full set of lights and good acoustic capabilities. (After theater performances Pizzeria Orso is closed, so you have to back to pubs at Broad Street.) The show I saw, of Kamel Zennia and Band (an Algerian folk/rock band) was delightful and allowed space for a bit of dancing in the front of the stage. The audience seats maybe 60 to 70 max? I am reminded of performance-spaces I have been to in the great arts-culture city, Minneapolis, where local talent is showcased to appreciative local audiences. They have a ticket booth on site, but most shows have online ticket sales. I can't wait to go back!

    Everyone knows that I don't give out five starts very often. A business must go way over and beyond…read moremy expectations to get all five! I have been to several paint nights and have even left in tears from one of those... that was not the case with Creative Mankind. This company travels around to different venues and offers a variety of painting options. I met up with a group of friends and we painted a Mardi Gras themed picture. Right off the bat I knew it was going to be an awesome experience. We were greeted with upbeat music and beads to celebrate the occasion. Our instructor really put a lot of thought and passion into the class ahead of time. Laying on the canvas was a template of the mask we needed to transfer to our painting. She let us know that we could "go rogue" and change up the colors and skip the sketching parts but I am way not that talented! She had one completed painting on an easel and another blank canvas for demonstration up on an elevated easel. It was visible to everyone in the room without having to stand up. She was extremely accommodating as far as time given for each step, which I really appreciated! It was fun how she would tell us how many songs she would play for us to finish each step... "okay you have two songs to do this step!" There was an assistant who walked around and offered advice and guidance which was helpful. Creative Mankind had partnered with a restaurant that offered drink specials and happy hour pricing for apps! The restaurant provided a dedicated server to us which was a nice touch. And huzzah... my painting actually looked a lot like the sample! Which for me is a huge deal because I am really not artistic or creative with paint. We were all encouraged along the way and our confidence was bolstered by telling us that everyone is an artist but we express our artistry in different ways. I was with a party of six and all of our paintings turned out different and reflected our personalities. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Creative Mankind for any event they host. They also do private parties!

    I'm a remote employee in CA and work with a virtual team. We meet up on a quarterly basis in…read moreArlington, VA, (DMV area) so when we do come together, we try to make the most of our time and make it a point to sneak in some fun! For our last trip in July, I was tasked with coordinating the fun team activity and stumbled upon Creative Mankind. I was considering a couple other options, but when I started communicating with Staci (the owner and host), there was really no question that this was the activity (painting class) I wanted to plan for my team. She was so nice, so patient, and super accommodating in every way possible. She even found the most perfect venue to hold our team event (Lyon Hall). She provided all supplies, ensured the ambiance was great and lively, and her instruction was so thorough! She guided us -ever so patiently- every step of the way. We had so much fun! I would, 100% recommend Creative Mankind for your next work team event!!
