Please tip (see above for DJ, Performer, and organizer handles)!

We’ll be streaming the music and videos directly through the zoom meeting, but if for some reason that doesn’t work for you, we’ll have links live the night of the event (see ASYNCH listening below).
Everyone will be muted once the event starts (otherwise it creates all kinds of fuzz and feedback).

ABOUT
QUEERANTINE.NET is a virtual dance party founded during the COVID19 global pandemic. People from around the world gather to dance, move, be, release, and remember what joy feels like. It is founded/hosted/organized by artist and energy worker Jess Posner, and DJ’d by artist Andrea Kennedy. It broadcasted weekly from Syracuse, NY during the Great Quarantine of 2020.

QUEERANTINE.NET PHILOSOPHY
Lez dance alone together like it’s the end of the world. Like the only way to shake off fear in the time of a global contagion is to the beat of a memory. Like we’re dreaming of the next time we’ll drip sweat onto the same floor. Like the next time our bodies will slip through the time space continuum together, closer to the kind of love we know is possible. Like when you play that song for me. Like when I dance for you. Like when the dancefloor parts like the sea. Like when we’re suddenly alone in this room. Like we’re in this together. Like I’m the water dripping down my throat, pouring through my skin.

A NOTE ON THE MOMENT

Bye bye, 2020. We’ve got a lot of healing to do. In the face of so much grief, fear, change, unknown, hurt, hate, and heart– there’s so much to move through. So let’s begin/continue tonight, here with each other and our bodies, moving across pixel planes and vibrational stratospheres. Remember what joy feels like. Let us hold together as we elevate our spirits. 

This is heart/root/sacral/spirit medicine. 

We love you so much.

I know it might seem flippant to dance alone in your room while the world burns. While our Black brothers, sisters, and siblings die at the hands of our white supremacist state. Again. And again. Because grief is a hollowing. It feels hollow and empty to perform, to dance when you’re filled with sadness. It feels sad to dance at times like this. As white people, that hollowness is our inheritance. Sadness is an awakening. It’s our responsibility to fill that empty, hollow space with light. It is our responsibility to dance the pieces of our soul that white supremacy too stole from us back home. To remember embodied empathy and rage. Dancing alone is rehearsal for coordinated efforts with others. This is rehearsal for a social choreography of care. This is what Emma Goldman was talking about.

Without roses, bread will taste like ash.
