OPPORTUNITY FOR AUSTRALIAN PLUS SIZE DANCERS
Sydney dance theatre company Force Majeure plans to investigate the personal stories and experiences of individuals who live in bigger bodies. Artistic Director Kate Champion will work in collaboration with Artistic Associate Kelli Jean Drinkwater (artist, filmmaker, fat activist) to create an intriguing, powerful and at times beautiful dance theatre work for the fat body.
CALLOUT FOR PERFORMERS
Force Majeure is inviting self-identified people of size (bigger bodied/large/fat) to participate in the audition process for a groundbreaking dance theatre exploration of what it means to be fat.
This project provides a unique opportunity for larger bodied people to engage with their self-expression through tailor made workshops and movement labs with the aim to produce a high-end, innovative dance theatre piece that will premiere in 2015.
This work is a rare opportunity for people of size to showcase their skills and innate ability to be great movers and dancers (trained or untrained). Performers will work within a supportive environment where they will be encouraged to take risks exploring their physicality.
Please check out the website for more information, including on how to apply. The closing date for applications 5pm Friday 14 June.

Brisbane’s first Chunky Dunk!
February 3 2012 at 2pm.Join the BNE Chunky Dunk fb group to find out more info (like the location, which we are not publicising before the date to ensure a safer environment). The location is inner city east side and accessible by bus.
The pool location is fairly accessible by mobility devices but does not have a ramp into the pool itself, rather your traditional ladder situation.
We have booked a separate lane for our chunky dunkin’ times and it will cost $8 per person. The pool is open til 5pm so we’ve got lots of time!
This event is primarily for fat people but friends and family are also totally welcome. Come make friends and cool off with us!
(The phrase “chunky dunk” was originally used by fat activists in Portland, if I recall correctly!)

Flyer for our show at the Thornbury Theatre, featuring our delectable plus-sized butt model Chubby Vagine. Presale tickets are available through Oztix. See you there!
Not going to lie, we’re really excited about this show. Our first show was such a blast, and this time around we’ve got a host of new Boombahs and a huge range of acts, from burlesque to cabaret to circus to opera. We’re looking forward to spreading the fat-positivity love even further.
That’s THIS COMING FRIDAY NIGHT, folks! Have you got your tickets yet? They’re selling fast!
I’m DJin the afterparty of this… you should come along!!
TOMORROW NIGHT, lovers! And general admission and general admission group ticket allocations have just been extended, but they’re selling fast so be quick! You can get them here.
Do you want to dance? Would you like to dance with other fat people? (I want to take this moment to explicitly invite people with disabilities and those who’ve never danced or been turned away from dancing due to ability and size.)
I have a dancer/ choreographer friend who responded to my gushing about Danza Voluminosa and said he’d be interested in doing workshops or something more if I wanted to look at starting a fat dance group.
y/n?
Dancing is the best fun ever. Get into it, BrisFats.

Hey Fatty & friends fashion fair
Sunday 16 September 12-5pmIntroducing our hostess, Kelli Jean Drinkwater! At the fair she will be interviewing amazing fatties, hosting the runway shows and making the day more than spectacular. We are lucky to have Kelli Jean and here’s just a few reasons why….
“An internationally recognized plus size personality, she has graced the catwalks of London UK for cutting edge designers as well as for homegrown talent such as Gisela Ramirez. She has been featured in fashion bible I-D magazine(UK), Volupt.2 magazine (FR) and is covergirl for both DIVA magazines “Fat Issue” (UK) as well as Slit! magazine (AUS). Throughout her career her aim has always been to push the boundaries of acceptable feminine sexuality, challenge the dominant paradigm of the “beauty” industry and create fierce unapologetic images of people of size.”
