    Hot & Heavy - The Afterparty - 27 January

    Part performance, part dance floor uprising, Hot & Heavy is a live performance work presenting at Midsumma Festival 22nd, 23rd, 29th, 30th January 2026.

    Climate for Change is excited to be working with the Hot & Heavy team to deliver post-performance workshops.

    The workshop

    ‘The Afterparty’, a post-performance, creative and embodied workshop where the energy from the dance floor can be transformed into real-world action, exploring those themes from the show, connecting with local climate groups and meeting like-minded new people.

    The workshops will be held 27th January and 17th February.

    Anyone is welcome to join, though you will get much more out of the workshop if you have attended one of the performances.

    Learn more and book to attend the performance here.

    The workshop will comprise a small group of approximately 20 people. You will be led through a series of activities including movement, inspiring discussions, and training on how to speak about about climate issues with the Climate for Change Facilitators. You will hear about upcoming opportunities to connect in with the climate movement here in Naarm. It's a great chance to start the new year with refreshed energy for making a difference in your world.

    Both workshops are exactly the same content - just book yourself into one date that best suits you.

    Effective Climate Conversations training

    In this 2-hour interactive workshop, you’ll build the confidence and skills to talk about climate change in ways that truly connect with people in your life.

    Through a series of engaging activities, real-life examples, and guided practice in small breakout groups, you’ll learn how to:

    • Navigate tricky topics and respond to common climate questions and reactions - from skepticism and apathy, to doomism and denial.

    • Share your own authentic climate story in a way that motivates and inspires others.

    • Break through the “climate silence” by turning everyday conversations into powerful opportunities for change.

    This is a supportive, energising space for you to feel more confident in your own conversation skills, connect with others, and walk away feeling empowered to make an impact - starting with the people around you.

    Whether you’re new to climate conversations or looking to sharpen your skills, this workshop will meet you where you're at and help you take the next step.

    Your $10 tickets help us keep going and ensure our resources are up to date. But if cost is a barrier, please get in touch via email: [email protected]
