The Philosophy of Disco - The School of Life

Dig under the d-floor.

Overview

Thought disco was just dance music? There's a whole lot of history behind breaking it down on a light-up d-floor. The School of Life's latest and greatest class, 'The Philosophy of Disco' shimmies through modern music's shiniest genre — and everyone from Adorno to Michael Jackson’s musings are up for discussion.

Who would have thought something as fun and seemingly light could be something worthy of serious discussion? Craig Schuftan, that’s who. The Sydney writer, radio producer and public speaker will take you on a serious trip through where (and why) disco began. You'll never watch Saturday Night Fever the same again.

After asking all the big disco dancin' questions, it will be time to make like Sister Sledge and get Lost In Music. Melbourne’s disco DJ darling CC:DISCO! will be spinning non-stop solid gold hits. The PBSFM Friday night favourite will cover everything from smooth slow jams and soulful house to '80s boogie and anything in between. Put on your thinking caps and dancing shoes, this is sure to be an evening to work out your body and your mind.
