A massive thank you to everyone who came down to Marrickville Hotel on Sunday and spent the afternoon dancing with us. ❤️
It means so much to see people showing up, supporting community based events and helping turn these little ideas into something special. The music, the people, the energy - it’s exactly why we started Club Balearico in the first place.
Big love to all the DJs @ivyyjw, @auntyjonny, @reenie.jpg, @eastsidepropjoe who shared their music with us, the wonderful staff at @themarrickvillehotel for looking after everyone, and our dearest friends at @thegrifterbrewingco Co. for being part of it all.

We’re incredibly grateful to have share the space with everyone who came through, had a dance, brought their mates or simply stopped by for a drink. None of this happens without you.

And if Sunday was anything to go by, we’re in for a pretty special night at the warehouse on October 31st. Can’t wait to see you all back on the dancefloor. 🪩

Club Balearico - a dance of unknown origins.

@divineplayhouse.syd is still here, and our voices matter. More than ever.

The last slide in this carousel is part of @auntyjonny sermon at the Divine Playhouse funeral last night.

I find it interesting that the loudest critics of Divine Playhouse seem so unwilling to see the full depth of our community. Instead, they reduce us to a handful of inflammatory soundbites designed to whip up anger and indignation: “mockery of the Christian faith”, “nuns with dildos”, “plastic pigs serving Holy Communion”.

These are easy things to point at, easy things to be outraged by. But they tell you very little about the people beneath the costumes, the performances and the provocation. It’s much easier to dismiss us as trolls whose sole purpose is to mock Christianity than to listen to what we’re actually saying. And what we’re saying, first and foremost, is that we are here.

We exist. We have histories, beliefs, contradictions, grief, joy and an extraordinary capacity for love. Many of us grew up within the Church. Some were nurtured by it, some were wounded by it, and some carry both experiences. Our relationship with religious imagery is not necessarily one of contempt. It can be complicated, affectionate, irreverent, painful, celebratory and deeply personal. Sometimes it’s all those things at once.

Christians do not have exclusive ownership of the symbols and rituals of Christianity.
Those symbols have shaped our culture, our art, our language and our lives for centuries. They belong to a much wider conversation than the Church alone. And frankly, I find it mind-blowing that an institution that enjoys significant tax exemptions feels entitled to dictate how public money should be spent on artistic expression.

Yes, these symbols mean something profoundly important to Christians. But they can mean something important to us, too. Just differently.

Grief is a part of healing. Aunty Jonny, who once trained as a youth minister, shares in their sermon a Bible story about grief. About the importance of allowing ourselves to feel it, rather than rushing towards resolution. About sitting with loss, wholly and fully, because grief itself is part of healing. There is nothing
