Twisted Fairytales: Let Your Darkside Out to Play.
LIVERPOOL’S AUDACIOUS VOGUE BALL
RETURNS FOR A
THIRD SPELLBINDING YEAR!
____________________________________________________________
Following the massive success of ‘The
Death By Glitter’ Vogue Ball in 2011, renowned
dance company House of Suarez returns
to announce that their award-winning Vogue Ball is back. It will sashay into its new home at Camp
and Furnace, Liverpool on
Saturday 6 October 2012 and tickets are on
sale now!
Once upon a time in 2010, a
renowned Liverpool choreographer and lifelong Vogue fan named Darren Suarez dreamed up what has now become the stuff of
fairytales. The Vogue Ball is a
dance event like no other in the UK – where club culture meets high art and
Vogue teams (known as ‘houses’) come together from far and wide to compete for
dance supremacy, wearing creative costumes that are often as lavish as
Cinderella’s ballgown!
This year’s event will take on a Twisted
Fairytales theme as it returns for a third
spellbinding year, bringing its debauched magic to Camp and Furnace, turning
the city’s most happening new venue into a catwalk spectacular reminiscent of
1970s/80s New York (the home of the Vogue dance style) at its most glamorous.
Since its inception House of Suarez
has irrevocably shown that it is a force to be reckoned with in the events
world, with the Vogue Ball winning ‘Best Annual Event’ at the Seen Awards in 2011.
The Twisted Fairytales Vogue
Ball asks its princes, princesses and evil
queens to display a similar fierce attitude through the artisan performance
battles. Dancers will strut, pose and sashay their way through tales of old,
bringing them slap bang into the 21st century.
This will be the most
outrageous and extravagant vogue ball to date, and audiences are in for a spellbinding
display of all our favourite fairytale characters releasing their inner
diva, hosted by the annual father of Liverpool’ Vogue Ball Rikki
Beadle-Blair, who promises to leave audiences
wanting more!
The evening will reveal the
premiere of an amazing new work from House of Suarez artistic director, Darren
Suarez. "From Disney to Diva" brings theatre and vogue styles together again, this
piece will see some original company members take to the runway as well as some
new ones. The award-winning vogue ball will certainly be one of the
most opulent and diva- esque evenings of 2012.
Darren Suarez, Artistic
Director of House of Suarez said: ‘I
can’t wait to bring Liverpool its biggest Vogue Ball yet in such a creative new
venue. The talent showcased in the past 2 years has been incredible and I think
this year’s theme will bring even more spectacular results from competing
houses, inspiring them to bring their most magical moves. I am really looking
forward to showcasing the new work from House of Suarez, From Disney To Diva.
It will be an incredibly glamorous evening for everyone involved, where
performers and the audience can escape to a fantastical fairytale world.’
For the 3rd year running the House of Suarez and renowned
Liverpool image maker Matt Ford have
collaborated to create the Vogue ball's sleek signature look. Ford's work has
been used to promote many other high profile Liverpool cultural events including
The Liverpool Design Festival, Pride, Homotopia, Sound City, LEAP, Chibuku and
most recently Liverpool's Shiny New fringe theatre festival. His exhibition for
this year’s Liverpool Art Month will be featured on the forthcoming Sky
Atlantic programme City Secrets.
Don’t expect a fairytale ending
at this year’s Vogue Ball, more a one
night only trip to a castle of decadent and twisted happenings where the Cinderellas,
Snow Whites, Belles and Beasts of Liverpool will be able to exhibit their seedy
and seductive night moves on the UK’s most messed-up catwalk show.
And they all lived happily ever
after...
