Melisa Sözeri - MA Show 2018


VOGUE FOR ME!
Vogue the Ultimate form of self-expression. “Vogue” Is not about the Vogue Magazine or Madonna, it is about Vogue Dance & the Ballroom scene. Vogueing, a form of dance created in the clubs of Harlem by a subculture of young gay men and drag-queens in the 60 ́s. In a beautiful escape, they express the most outrageous version of themselves through costumes, attitude, and dance.

The “Ballroom scene” is when people come together to exchange. Serving the runway, being bizarre, or competing in drag categories for trophies and prizes. The objectives of documenting the ballrooms is to show the interaction between audience and dancers. I wish to take the viewer inside the culture of house-balls and to convey the diversity, identity, and unity of Vogue. My aim is also to develop a new character for the category “BIZARRE” using the theme ‘goddess of the Nature’.
