Consider attending other GORGE x Winnipeg Kiki Ballroom workshops this month to learn about the different categories and protocols of Ballroom! Consider learning more about the history and protocols of Ballroom culture before attending this event. We recommend using Vancouver Ballroom Arts Society's Ballroom primer as a foundational text.
This event is part of GORGE Queer Arts Festival, presented by Synonym Art Consultation. GORGE is an annual celebration of the legacy and future of 2SLGBTQIA+ art in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Treaty 1 Territory. GORGE strives to create accessible alternative spaces for individuals and families (chosen or otherwise) to engage in innovative queer programming.
