The Art of Performance voguing class at 2:30pm will be co-taught by FX’s Pose cast member Jason A. Rodriguez and Ballroom Icon Pony Zion. It will lay an introductory groundwork for the day’s programming, as well as lead participants through an adventurous exploration of the highly stylized form originating in the 1980s that evolved from the ballroom scene of 1960s Harlem. Rodriguez specializes in the subcategory Vogue New Way and Zion in Vogue Fem.

As part of its Open Spectrum community dialogue series, New York Live Arts presents Ballroom Has Something to Say--curated by activist, leader in the LGBTQ and House I Ballroom communities, and adviser to FX’s Pose, Michael Roberson. On Sunday November 10 starting at 2:30 pm, the event kicks off with a voguing class, followed by a lecture/performance/discussion, and ends with a single Ballroom category Vogue Femme "open to all" (OTA) with a $1000 cash prize for the winner.
