| description | This article uses the author’s auto/ethnographic experience while participating in a shuffle circle to interrogate the stakes at play when a shuffle circle and a community are created at an electronic dance music (EDM) event. Shuffle circles develop as a method of understanding the porosity of community building and as a space in which individuals can learn to feel and sense “the vibe” of others and themselves. Methods of interpreting the energy flow between participants or “the vibe” are discussed and instances in which the energy changes and is redirected are highlighted not as points of weakness in community but as opportunities to strengthen and reimagine “the vibe.” |
