RISING presents
6HR Grumble Boogie
Max Watt's Melbourne (Melbourne, VIC)
Friday, 7 June 2024 8:00 PM
A surreal aerobics class—a communal celebration, ritual of rage and rite of renewal led by performance critter Betty Grumble and DJ HipHopHoe.
Artists and soul sisters, Grumble and HipHopHoe harness utopian energies gifted from their own experiences of creativity and queerness. Choreography, music, protest and pleasures blend together in pursuit of restorative energy, that transcends the physical and psychic schedule of the status quo.
Featuring a mighty lineup of guest facilitators and performers, the six-hour program is designed to be experienced in its entirety or dropped in on for moments of resonating joy.
Grumble and HipHopHoe invite you into the mantric wish of ‘Thank You Body’ as hearts pump and the serotonin builds. This is a personal and political work that combines conflicting emotions of love and grief, rage and empathy to forge a hopeful path to recovery and repair through movement and humour.
To quote the late great Palestinian poet Candy Royalle—‘We turn love into a circle’
Wear your dancing shoes.
