As we venture into the darker months of the year, you are invited to journey far and wide, and to your edges, at our first ever Rave Ritual and fancy dress party. It's gonna be sacred, silly and wild…

FANCY DRESS

We all know the cliché Halloween costumes. However, for this party you're invited to enquire deeper within and do something different...

You are invited to create your very own wonderful and unique outfit that comes from either / or the silly, playful, light, dark, wild and sacred parts of yourself. Perhaps embodying an archetype that feels a bit more edgy or risqué for you. 

Perhaps this is an opportunity you've never had before. How would you like to play?

Please note, it's best to dress in layers (if possible) so you can manage your temperature during the evening. From slow movement, to ecstatic raving, to lying down for the closing sound bath, etc.

Perhaps your costume is suitable for some full power raving and dancing. If not, be prepared.

Most importantly, let’s play and have fun.

ADULTS ONLY

This event is for adults only. It's not suitable for children or teens.

LINEUP

WITCH CLOWN | RAVE RITUAL | Shamanic Ritual Meets Fierce Rave

With their cohorts in tow, Gaia Harvey Jackson, Ronan Harrington and Mikey Matania, join forces as WITCH CLOWN, to combine chaos magic and banging beats in a wild RAVE RITUAL. Dive deep into the world of mischief and manifestation. Through an epic set of seductive techno, you’ll be plucked from the ordinary and transported to a dimension of transcendental triviality. Turn your dreams into reality through ‘spell dancing’. Working on the unconscious mind you will learn to use your body as a tool for transformation and translating potentiality into reality through embodied dance. Summoning our intentions into every cell of our body we raise our vibe until the world around us shifts to align with our new and improved modus operandi. Let the mayhem begin!

Bridging the worlds of the sacred and the absurd, Witch Clown facilitate a safe space for you to totally let go, break free of the box and express yourself with wild abandon. Allow your inner weirdo to breathe. Move as your body wants to, not as you think it should.

Witch Clown celebrate the culture of consent, respect and kindness for each other amidst the chaos. They are a collective of dancers, artists, magicians and fools. Combining theatre games, connection exercises, intention setting and damn good music, they come together to honour life and use the energy created through movement, as a vessel for healing and liberation of the individual and collective. They are the masters of the silly and the sacred, the profane and the profound. Their aim is to create a community of people who love to dance, connect with each other and connect with the transformative power of music. 

"A wickedly divine creation. This is Ecstatic Dance with claws on. Joyful, naughty and heart-opening.”

"Best rave I’ve been to! Most amazing dance in a long time - liberating, silly, powerful, wild and fun. Fearless expression of life and love for who I am and my intention."

"The kind of wildness and connection that you normally only find on day three of a festival"

"Empowering, uplifting, inspiring, super fun, wild and silly - all at the same time."
