What is a groove? Perhaps a shared pulse, a rebellion, or simply a fleeting moment of joy. 

Suspiciously Groovy tries to answer this question by approaching groove not as a fixed concept, but as a question in motion. The performance challenges the body by experimenting with movements that are intentionally inorganic, awkward, and feel difficult to perform. From this sense of discomfort, something contagious begins to take shape. The dancers of NoXsense welcome you into a lively, playful choreography that invites you to feel the rhythm—and perhaps wiggle right out of your seat.

Created and performed entirely by queer artists, Suspiciously Groovy embraces feelings of unease at the heart of its exploration. The work defies mainstream values by celebrating strangeness and imperfection within a shared rhythm. For the choreographer and the group, the work reflects themes of deviation, self-expression, and community — core experiences within queer lives. In doing so, the piece invites audiences to reconsider not just how we groove as a society, but who gets to define what groove can be.
