A 'grief rave' at the Southbank Centre in London unites individuals who have lost loved ones, blending music and movement to process bereavement. Founded by Annie Frost Nicholson and Carlie Attridge, this event forms a supportive environment to celebrate lives and encourage personal expression of grief. Each participant takes part in remembrance through dance and reflection. The Fandango Discoteca offers a private space for selected music to honor memories. This initiative illustrates how collective experiences can foster joy, hope, and continuing connections with those who have passed.
"When I heard on the radio, there was this grief rave. What better way to represent my mum and celebrate her life."
"She was an old-school nineties raver, and I remember her every year by dancing to her favourite rave tune."
"It kind of creates a sense of joy and hope."
"The person that dies, they don't leave us. Their story doesn't end when they die. We keep writing their stories."
