'Legendary' House of Suarez Vogue Ball returns
After performing more intimate shows during the pandemic, the House of Suarez is set to take over its usual playground, the Invisible Wind Factory, on Saturday, October 22. Building on the success of previous years, the next event will treat attendees to “a high energy fast pacing rollercoaster of fashion, dance, comedy, and a celebration of inclusivity pulled together like a corset”.
Ballroom culture dates back to the 1920s and is dedicated to marginalised groups such as the LGBTQIA+ community. Ballroom hailed from Black and Latina trans women and with the likes of mainstream TV shows, such as Pose, it is continuing to flourish. Originating in New York City, houses competed in balls for their chance of securing a grand prize.
Host Ricki Beadle-Blair will pay homage to the era of disco by turning the venue into Studio 54, all while Merseyside-based Houses compete for bragging rights. Hoping to walk away as winners are Liverpool’s House of Suarez, the deaf, disabled and neuro-divergent House of Curio, Manchester’s House of Aurora, and the East Asian House of Chan.
Categories this year include fantasy, solo, lip sync, sex siren and choreography and the realness category will return in the guise of disco real-ness. Whilst Madonna popularised the dance in the 90s and many of the LGBTQ+ community have gone on to adopt it, Darren emphasised the importance of remembering the movement's roots.
Darren added: “The success is measured by the love we get from all the participants who always come back and feel safe in the space as well as the continuous requests from new people wanting to get involved."
