Katerina Olivova will bring her fat beautiful queer body to share with you. She works with nudity, sensuality, joy and pleasure, radical body positivity, empowerment, queer body euphoria and collective body experience, and a sexological connection to nature.
Melting in the hot summer minutes, splashing in the lake, hugging sunburnt necks and screaming on stage at a crazy festival. 'Queer Readings' want to hear about your secret summer romance, your inner revolution or your first time (maybe you caught your first fish, maybe...?). We invite you to read your own work or the work of your favourite authors. There are no time or genre restrictions, but if you plan to read a piece longer than 5 minutes, please inform us in advance.
You've voted - the Square Tournament is back! Registration will take place during the festival and the tournament will take place on Saturday evening.
This is a dance class where we will learn about Twerk and Feminine movement styles and techniques. We will learn the movements, create choreography, and try to find our inner goddess and release her. We will gain energy and feel how we grow our confidence through movement. We will become one group that unconditionally supports and shares love through movement. Who: Vanilla. When: Saturday, 27 July, 4-5.30pm. Where: Bar stage.
When was the last time you saw your mum dancing naked? When was the last time you yourself danced with others without a smile, with a tear, screaming, shaking, jumping, striking, turning, awkward, stupid, like a monkey, like a drunken neighbour, like a little dog... like you, of whom you might be ashamed? Whom you would love to love, but you loathe. We will cleanse the disgust with movement, we will vomit it out through the shaking hair and drown it in the spell of rhythm.

Playback is social improvisational theatre, where actors perform the audience's stories without preparation, turning each story into a small performance. It is theatre for social change, connecting people with different experiences. It is a safe space to explore oneself and the environment through artistic methods. Playback exists at the intersection of contemporary performing arts and the healing practice of creative and human exchange.
