The Undulating Power of the Dance Floor; On - Night Life, Eros, and Queer Community
Description
This week we are welcoming witch, astrologer, artist, folk-psychopomp, and dear friend Jove Spucchi onto the cast to talk about nightlife, eros, and the magic woven in queer and liminal spaces. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the magical potency of nightlife by discussing Jove’s experiences weaving liminal magic within dance floors, through sound, and within communities that embrace the intersections between art, music, queerness, and the divine. Drawing their own experiences as nightlife builder, inspirited dancer, and magical practitioner, Jove shares with us the the power found on the dance floor to transcend the boundaries of self through intuitive self-expression and surrender to Desire.
How does dance help us feel safe in our bodies? What are the similarities of Otherness between those who identify as queer vs witch? How can we take the undulating energy of desire and use it to shape a world in which we all get to surrender to safety, intimacy, and vulnerability of heart through the ekstatis of the moon and the dionysian impulse to purge through the creation of feral artistic expression? All this and more on today’s episode of SaturnVox
