Loose Joints welcomes you back into an open portal to dance and feel alive. As proud allies of the 2SLGBTQIA+ &amp; BIPOC Communities, we pledge to donate a portion of our proceeds from this event to the Ottawa Trans Library. Always inspired by the late Arthur Russell, an American disco-cellist/musical visionary (1951-1992) - it is important for us to pay homage to the origin of house music which developed as a Black gay genre. We ask you to come as you are and spread only love in our creative space. In love dancing? Come groove with us.Sounds by Trevor Walker (@lifeboogie), Jose Palacios (@opencloseddoors). Lighting by John Cap in collaboration with Tom Vtipil. Rug Installations by Cassie Connor (@rugmommy). Graphic Designs by Amanda Brown.&quot;It is impossible to separate house&#x27;s disco heritage from the marginalized LGBTQ people of colour who gravitated to it. &#x27;It was a community,&#x27; said, Knuckles, quoted in Tom Lawrence&#x27;s 2003 book Love Saves the Day: A History of American Dance Music Culture, 1970-1979.&quot; Excerpt from Temporary Pleasure, a book by John Leo Gillen, 2023
