Sissy Vogue Vop
Saturday, February 23, 3-5pm
$20
Sissy: an effeminate man or boy
Vogue: fashion or style at a given time
Vop: a high-spirited kick tossed in the air
This workshop will borrow from the aesthetics of voguing to investigate
extreme physicality, “fierceness of attack,” and attitude
as an approach to movement. Exercises derived from the voguing culture
such as dips, twirls, and spins are used to connect poses and postures
in large athletic phrases that express the physical poetics of battling
gracefully. Through guided improvisation, we will also explore the
culture behind the movements in an attempt to channel the somatic
pluralism that drives voguing’s improvisations.
Darrell Jones has performed in the United States
and abroad with a variety of choreographers and companies such as
Bebe Miller, Urban Bush Women, Ronald K. Brown, Min Tanaka, Ralph
Lemon and KOKUMA Dance Theater. Along with performing, Darrell continues
to teach workshops and master classes in dance technique and improvisational
processes throughout the United States and abroad. Darrell is presently
a full-time faculty member at The Dance Center of Columbia College
in Chicago.
