Voguing – with a continuous history that began in earnest in the 1960s in New York – is having a(nother) moment. Communal, amateur in the best way, voguing has always been a vernacular form. Writer Sholem Krishtalka looks at the vogue renaissance.
Voguing and the ballroom scene were born along with house, hip hop and bboying in sixties and seventies New York. It has infiltrated the mainstream less than street dance but the forms maintain their hereditary connections. Emily Law (Em Fatale) and Matt Sweet (Mother Trouble Nuance) – two dancers who are putting voguing on the Toronto stage early in 2014 – talk influences, cross-pollination and keeping it real.
