Let your hair down and tap into your sun sign! Join Deep Soulful Sweats for an unforgettable night of immersive dancing, chanting, sweating, and stomping!
Deep Soulful Sweats (DSS) is a collaborative and participatory event led by Naarm-based dance artists Sarah Aiken and Rebecca Jensen. Facilitated by Naarm-based and international dancers and DJs, the project creates ecstatic, inclusive, and unrehearsed participatory performance experiences with no spectators.

A tongue-in-cheek nod to the Zodiac, participants are divided into elements, (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) and led ‘follow the leader’ style through spontaneous choreography, chanting, absurdity, and fantasy – an embodied and energetic exchange in dance and choreographic practice. In the thick of an unfolding choreography/ ritual/ rave/ contemporary dance class/ spectacle, DSS incrementally and exponentially encourages participants to let go and exorcise through exercise.

Deep Soulful Sweats has grown a loyal following for its shape-shifting events, encouraging people from all walks of life to step out of their thinking mind and into their bodies.

Wear your runners!
