Blubber

‘In the beginning, Katie and Body were best friends. In the beginning, Katie and Body were infinite with possibilities…’ 

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.

Join Katie and Body on their quest traversing forgiveness, beauty and whales as they ask: what does care look like for a fat body?


Award-winning artist Katie Greenall and The Hale’s new show takes audiences on a joyous journey of storytelling, ebbing and flowing to explore what placing kindness and care first can look like.
