Outer Space Kiki Ball

3… 2… 1… LIFT OFF! Sigurd CPH & Kiki House of Mercury presents: The Outer Space Ball! Tonight, we invite you all to step out of the atmosphere of planet Earth and join us beyond the galaxy and into the endless void of the universe Steer clear of the Starlink satellites and have your astrological charts ready as we navigate this interstellar voyage! Will we encounter extraterrestrial life, or are we to find a new planet to call home? Tonight, you are free from gravity and free to explore and have fun! What is ballroom?Ballroom is an underground subculture created by and for the BIPOC LGBTQIA+ community in Harlem, New York. It stems from racism within drag pageant culture and has developed since the 1920s to what we know today. A ball is a space where you compete in categories varying between fashion, performance and passing into the hetero- cisnormative society. No, Madonna did NOT create vogue, and no dips will be called shablams tonight! Be mindful about the space you take up at a ball and make sure to do your research: Documentaries to watch:Paris is burning - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k70tlLetqqwKiki - http://www.kikimovie.com/watch-now Pages where you can look at clips from other balls:Kendrick Mugler - https://www.youtube.com/c/KendrickMugler/videosParis Ballroom Tv - https://www.youtube.com/c/ParisBallroom/videosBallroom Throwbacks - https://www.youtube.com/c/BALLROOMTHROWBACKS/videosOld School Ballroom - https://www.instagram.com/oldschoolballroom/Series to watch (based on ballroom culture)Pose - https://se.hbonordic.com/.../51490bf8-4225-47fc-8148...Legendary - https://www.hbomax.com/.../urn:hbo:series...
