A 7-time sell-out Global Music night for Exeter’s sonically curious!

We would warmly like to invite you to our Dance Against Racism (no. 8), where this time, we raise money for Refugee Support Devon.

We are offering this dance as a space to be together in community as one and give a clear message of support to all our friends who are refugees and asylum seekers. We want to offer a full-hearted welcome to those seeking safety and sanctuary with us and highlight the work of the amazing team at Refugee Support Devon.

Many cultures around the World use movement, dance and song as a form of resilience and resistance. Movement is energy materialised. We can dance and welcome each other, dance our belonging, dance our connectedness, our grief, our sense of injustice, dance the truth as we know it, dance our sense of the possible, dance our deeper knowing of collective joy, dance our human way of simply being together….what we do here on the dance floor matters and has a rippling impact elsewhere…

Come, bring yourself, your body, heart and mind to this dance.

All profits will go to the charity Refugee Support Devon, who provide vital support and leadership working with refugees all over Devon.

Expect all the usual global musical goodness from Somatic, including; Afrobeat, Jungle, Bossa, House, Dub, Cumbia, Breakbeat, Funk, IDM, Electronica, Baile Funk and everything in-between.
