Ninja, Lasseindra
Lasseindra Ninja is a professional queer dancer of Guyanese origin, born in 1986. She is an iconic figure in the voguing community in France (also called vogue), an urban dance style invented by queer people of color in New York in the 1980’s.
She began voguing at the age of 20 by being recruited into one of the most famous dancing collectives of New York. She imported the concept into France, specifically Paris, where she organizes her own balls (or ballrooms) where drag queens and transsexuals can freely express their identity.
In everyday life, Lasseindra Ninja is not concerned with how others view her, living her life and representing her identity freely. According to her, voguing makes it possible for her to forge her own identity, in terms of sexuality, gender and self.

Compania Antonio Gades
Artistic direction: Stella Arauzo
Creation: 2004
The Gades Foundation was set up shortly before Antonio Gades' death to protect, present and disseminate the work of this creator and ambassador of Spanish dance throughout the world. But the most important project which the Antonio Gades Foundation has undertaken, and the greatest homage that could be paid to him, was the setting up of the dance company to perform Gades' five masterpieces: “Flamenco Suite” (1968), “Blood Wedding” (1974), “Carmen” (1983), “Fire” (1989) and “Fuenteovejuna” (1994). Each member of the company was endorsed by Antonio and the majority were engaged by the choreographer himself. The staging of the productions follow their creator's original recommendations to the letter. As trustee of the rights to the ballets Gades composed, the Antonio Gades Foundation is providing the new company with sets and costumes for each of the ballets listed above. In accordance with Antonio Gades's wishes, the foundation is both the executive and artistic producer of the ballets. The company, which promotes Gades' work all over the world, remains the Foundation's main collaborator and takes part in various activities initiated by the Foundation, including the prestigious Antonio Gades Spanish Dance Competition, seminars and specialist courses on Antonio Gades' choreography. The Foundation's current president is Maria Esteve, Antonio Gades' daughter, who has taken over from Faustino Nunez.
