A clubnight held at The Jam Jar on Wednesday 26th March. The event starts at 19:30.
It's Spring time baybeh ⚙︎ Let's gather and grow through the cracks in the Jam Jar's concrete dance floor and turn it into a field of beautiful blooming Queers. Here's how it's gonna go:
7:30PM: Doors open.
7:30-8:30PM: Catch up with your mates and/or make new ones before lights go dim.
8:30-9:00PM: Dance floor meditation + somatic experiencing (optional).
9:00-11:30PM: RhiPlay and LEXX on the decks.
✸ No drinks and no phones on stage + invitation to extend this to the dance floor (more about this in our FAQs: https://tinyurl.com/3vv6trxf) ✸
ABOUT RHIPLAY (she/her)
RhiPlay’s dance floors are queer, sexy, and full of power. Blending afro, latin, reggaeton and electronic beats she invites you to get down low and surprise yourself by finding delicious new places your body can go. A dancer, facilitator and community organiser, she is passionate about using music and dance to help you reconnect with your body and each other. To co-create moments of collective joy and release that enable us to continue to resist and overcome oppressive systems of power. Born in Bristol and shaped by its melting pot of sounds, you can find RhiPlay at festivals, clubs and conscious dance events across the UK and beyond.

ABOUT LEXX (they/them)
LEXX whips the finest Reggaeton, Afrobeat, Dancehall, House and Drum & Bass into sets that sweat and reset. She will throw you into the deep end and you will love it. LEXX's dance floor is a space for those of you who know there's more to life. A sexy space where gender gets bent and all beings are held in love. A space where you can dance freely to meet your struggle and release it all. Come get it.
