Pump Create Elevate

The series Pump, Create, Elevate, co-curated and co-produced by Legendary Mother Leo and Litchi Saint Laurent since 2024, provides dedicated moments for the Ballroom community to gather outside of the dynamics of the ball and training. The programme also offers a nurturing space for resonance, reflection, and dialogue around current discourses within the culture as well as on regional and (inter)national connections and distinctions between different Ballroom scenes. During two sessions taking place in April and October, various practitioners offer insights into their expertise and pass on their extensive knowledge of selected Ballroom categories and facets. The workshops welcome everyone wishing to expand their knowledge, skills, or network. Since Ballroom culture was created by trans women of African, Central and South American, and Caribbean descent—and continues to centre the lives and resilience of racialized and sexo-diverse people—their participation is especially encouraged.

Forthcoming dates:

Sat., 25 April
