MikeQ to score documentary about New York City ballroom subculture

Gesture focuses on NYC’s Kiki scene, a “society within a society” in the ballroom world.

The Kiki scene is a ballroom subculture for LGBTQ youth of color, “where femininity and flamboyance are celebrated and family and community leadership re-imagined.” Gesture is an experimental documentary film from artist/filmmaker Sara Jordenö and Kiki founder Twiggy Pucci Garçon that will examine the scene.

Qween Beat boss / Fade to Mind associate MikeQ will provide an original score for the film, which is being produced by Annika Rogell & Tobias Janson for Story AB. For more information about the film, head to the Gesture website or Facebook page.

The work-in-progress documentary, however, is not set to premiere until early 2015. Until then, there’s always Mike’s superb FACT mix.
