THE HOUSE PARTY & QUEER MARKETPLACE

Sunday June 25, 2:00-7:00pm

Live Arts warmly welcomes the ingenious collectives Double Dutch Dreamz w/ Miz Jade, Legends of Drag, and Yas Mama to activate all Live Arts spaces including the lobby, studios, and main stage theater. These expressive, loving families share their distinct voices in back-to-back sets featuring a mix of jumping rope, music, drag, and more.

Legends of Drag will feature NYC-based legacy drag queens Princess Diandra and Simone and Miami-based DJ Adora. Yas Mama is Brooklyn’s queerest LatinX party featuring multidisciplinary artists focused on bringing latin sounds to the forefront. It will be represented by house mother Chata and members Hannah Lou, Lady Quesadilla, and The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula Season 4 star La Zavaleta.

Double Dutch Dreamz is an intergenerational program committed to preserving time honored traditions of jumping ropes, offering workshops throughout the day. Joined by Brooklyn drag icon Miz Jade on music, participants can show off their skills and/or learn double dutch by signing up for workshops in person on the day of the event.

This year’s expanded Queer Marketplace will activate Live Arts’ studios featuring fashions, makeup, jewelry, herbs, and more by local queer designers like Valentine Amartey, BoiPKG, JR Ceramics, Trans Equity Consulting, Made by AO, Legends of Drag, Voxigma Lo, Triple T-Shirts, and more to be announced! Music by Hair Stylist/Actress/Model, DJ Zenobia!
