Ballet Queer on Film

This Is How I Move: NAIA is the first film in the series for Ballet Queer and marks our first public-facing piece of work.

Dancer Naia Bautista retraces her transgender experience in relation to movement. Created with a team of 16 Queer artists, behind the camera and post production to coincide with Trans Awareness Week. Directed by Artistic Director Jonathan Watkins and premiered on Nowness

'The Queer History of Us' was a series of workshops by Ballet Queer to delve into participants' Queer journeys through movement.

Sessions used informal ballet practice, movement and dialogue to explore queerness and build community for LGBTQ+ Hackney residents without formal dance training.

In partnership with Shoreditch Town Hall and funded by Hackney Culture Film and Edit by Henry Curtis
