The Iceball is coming to Bucharest!
Control is hosting the second Kiki Ball function on Saturday, December 6, bringing the an icy theme to Bucharest. Expect everything that ballroom culture is about: runway categories, voguing styles and bold self-expression, with participants invited to show looks in shades of white, silver, blue and grey. The night centers and celebrates QTIBIPoC-centered culture, and the space maintains a strict safe-practice policy against any form of discrimination.
Everyone is welcome to watch, cheer for the participants and enjoy the energy (just keep the runway for those walking). If you are not walking there is no dress code but if you want to be a little extra, feel free to let your imagination and creativity run wild.
Photography is strictly prohibited during Body and Sex Siren categories.
