Queer christmas Body Movements return to Queens Yard in Hackney Wick for a multi venue extravaganza on the 29th of July. The day into night fiesta will welcome a range of different artists embodying queer art, music and culture across the spectrum. This year’s celebrations of queer identity will not only welcome some favorites from last year’s proceedings, but also host a whole new set of fresh crews and faces to get everybody moving.
For stamina crews who wanna party dusk till dawn; Clayton Wright and Saoirse as well as the rest of the Body Movements family have uniquely crafted a handful of after parties that truly cater for everyone’s taste buds. Taking place at the very heart of Body Movements, the mighty Colour Factory will be hosting a soiree with Little Gay Brother. The party will feature the usual suspects from Little Gay Brothers iconic dance troupe with music from queer house and techno “laundrette” member Roi Perez alongside Boys Shorts and Suze Lijó. Further into East London, Village Underground will also be carrying the festivities into dark with another interstellar lineup.
Techno babies need to look no further, Body Movements has them covered! For all fans of the higher BPM’s and frequencies, Body Movements will be hosting a techno gathering presented by two colossal queer parties at E1. The Warehouse space will be taken over by revered queer Berlin party and club brand Herrensauna Dj Saliva b2b JASSS b2b MCMLXXXV making this their UK exclusive show for 2023! Showcasing woman, trans and non-bionary folk, Boudica will be taking over the black studio with pioneer Samantha Tongi, Donna and Animistic Beliefs for a music policy pushing through into the faster side of things.
With a truly diverse abundance of talent to soundtrack the day, Body Movements 2023 is forecast to be a scorcher. Uniting bodies across the dancefloor all the way from Spain, queer electronic party Maricas will be providing the heat. A name gracing lineups and venues across the globe, Avalon Emerson will be gracing Queens Yard for a euphoric ceremony in house and techno. Based between Jamaica and London DJ Sippin T will be joining forces with the BM crew bringing a varied display across genres. DJ Kizzi is also joining the billing bringing a multitude of sounds and club flavours across reggaeton, RnB, Afrobeats and Punjabi. Kampire will also be bringing a record box of dysphoric sounds to get everyone moving in Queens Yard.
