ATELIER VOGUING | Dark MatterS

Preparatory workshop for the Fashion Kiki Ball event
with Lasseindra Lanvin

The workshop is aimed at performers and dancers who are comfortable walking in stiletto heels and have experience or interest in voguing. Participants in the workshop will be the stars of the Fashion Kiki Ball event, scheduled for Saturday 14 February as part of the Dark MatterS Festival.

Lasseindra Lanvin is a dancer and choreographer who has been living in Paris for over ten years. Trained in France and the United States, she has developed her artistic practice through the organisation of balls, choreographic creations and solo and collaborative performances. In her work, she is interested in the identities and spaces that exist between the real and the virtual, from the stage to the screen and vice versa: when and under what conditions movement can be performed and how it is perceived and judged. Her work is based on pan-African and transatlantic vectors within a contemporary reflection on the history of the body and the traces and reminiscences of collective dance experiences. A pioneer of ballrooms in Europe, she is recognised within the international ballroom community with the title of Légende. Today, she explores the fields of contemporary creation, musical composition and digital arts (photography and video) within prestigious institutions such as the Centre national de la danse.
