An Homage to the Ballroom Scene

Georgina Philp, known in the ballroom world as Legendary Trailblazer Mother Leo St. Laurent, invites you to the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum for an unforgettable evening full of glitz and glamour. At the Pump Into The Future Ball, the Ruhrtriennale will celebrate ballroom and its outstanding performers on the runway. A range of houses and participants will show off their talents in front of an international jury and compete with each other in classical ballroom categories to take home one of the coveted trophies. 

Ballroom culture originated in the USA, where it was invented in New York in the 60s/70s by Black and Latinx trans women. Ballroom was introduced to Germany by Mother Leo with a first ball at the Berlin Voguing Out Festival in 2012. That same year she also founded the first local ballroom house, which was known at the time as the House of Melody. 

To coincide with the Pump Into The Future Ball, Georgina Philp will also meet international icons of the ballroom scene for a panel talk about ballroom. In addition to the panel talk, there will also be workshops on voguing and runway given by the ballroom community.
