Walk! A Short Documentary on the NYC Voguing Scene

By James St. James on March 22, 2016 10:28 am

Filmmaker Nicolas Jenkins has put together in a short documentary about the last 30 years of the NYC voguing scene entitled Walk! The film features interviews with member of House of Chanel, House of Fields, the House of Latex, and the House of Xtravaganza, among others, as well as legendary figures  like Willie Ninja and Kia Labeija.

From PAPER:

Jenkins says he’s amazed at home much voguing and ballroom culture has exploded in recent years. “No longer limited to members of American urban black and Latino gay communities, it can be found as far away as Russia now,” he tells Paper.

As such, Jenkins has his concerns that the recent boom within the scene might dilute the power and creative expression it originally harnessed. “I’m a little worried that with voguing’s success in crossing over into the mainstream to communities of the ‘non marginalized’ that there is a risk the dance may slowly lose some of its connections to its roots,” he says. “Historically the ballroom scene included society’s most marginalized: minorities within minorities. In a world where they have been rejected, ballroom not only accepted these people for who they were, it celebrated them.”
