DESCRIPTION:The Ballroom scene (at times synonymized with the performance a
	rt form of “vogue”) began in the Black and Brown queer club scene of late 
	1970s New York\, and has since flourished as an increasingly globalized sp
	ace for building personal identity and community. Please join us for this 
	workshop on the vogue dance form\, produced by writer and Ballroom histori
	an Sydney Baloue and the House of FUBU\, which will consider performance a
	s both a contemporary art form and a historical practice. The Clark’s hist
	oric drawing room will be the locale where attendees will serve as an audi
	ence to a roll call showcasing different voguing styles and competitive ca
	tegories commonly walked in balls around the globe. A Q&A will address the
	 history of queer performance and what it means to build community in a sp
	ace that was started by individuals who fought to combat the forces of rac
	ism\, discrimination\, abandonment\, and other important social and econom
	ic issues across history. A “literary salon” in the North Book Room will p
	resent dramatic readings and a display of rare material from the Clark’s c
	ollections and institutional archive highlighting gender nonconformity and
	 performance. A reception in the style of a “high tea\,” which connects to
	 the history of tea dances as safe spaces for the gay community in the pre
	-Stonewall era\, will follow\, as a nod to the taste for drama which ties 
	together modern Ballroom culture and Regency-era society.\n\nEvent Website
