Blubber
Katie feels further from her body than ever before.
“… every person is entitled to love their body, to feel comfortable and confident, and to be able to navigate the world without prejudice. But the difference is that living in a fat body is a political act and loving that fat body, in spite of society, becomes something radical.” (Katie Greenall, writer and performer, BLUBBER).
Katie’s taken up synchronised swimming. She’s buoyant and beautiful, but it’s a lot harder than they thought. When the promise of campy fun and liberation fails to materialise, Katie feels further from her body than ever before.
Award-winning artist Katie Greenall and The Hale’s “exemplary work on the subject of finding comfort in your own skin” (The Stage) takes audiences on a joyous journey of storytelling, ebbing and flowing to explore what placing kindness and care first can look like.
Join Katie and Body on their quest traversing forgiveness, beauty, and whales as they ask: what does care look like for a fat body?
