Welcome to 6HR Grumble Boogie

A surreal endurance aerobic dance class, communal celebration, ritual of release and rite of renewal led by performance critter Betty Grumble and DJ HipHopHoe.

Following beautiful sharings in Naarm (Rising) and Boorloo (Rechabite), Grumble and HipHopHoe bring this ecstatic offering to Gadigal Land at the beloved Red Rattler Theatre.

Artists and soul sisters, they harness utopian energies drawn from their lived experiences of creativity and queerness. Choreography, music, protest and pleasure collide in pursuit of restorative energy — pushing beyond the physical and psychic schedules of the status quo.

Guided by the mantric wish of “Thank You Body,” hearts pump and serotonin rises in this personal and political work. Love and grief, rage and empathy intertwine to forge a hopeful path toward recovery and repair through movement and humour.

Featuring guest facilitators, DJs and performers, this six-hour journey can be experienced in full or dropped into for moments of resonant joy.

Come to dance, breathe, witness and process. Together in music, body and spirit, this is an invitation to meet the moment we are living in.

As the late Palestinian-Lebanese poet Candy Royalle said:
“We turn love into a circle.”

Wear your dancing shoes.
