Flow Affair (2010)

About "Flagging": The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community is known for its artistic influences and inspirations worldwide. It is important to record our culture from within our community for accurate representation and empowerment, so we can share our history and legacy with future generations. "Flagging", now in early production, will be a documentary about the history of the gay performance art forms "flagging and fanning" that originated in the 70's in the gay clubs in the village of New York City. This improvisational performance art form includes flags, fans, fashion and dance, and is a very spiritual experience for mind, body and soul. The flow of the flags and the body to the music is an empowering experience, now used as a therapeutic art form by children and adults with disabilities. The documentary will highlight the music, the making of flags and fans, the impact flagging has on community and corporate America, and how it touches peoples' hearts. Teaching children and people with disabilities will demonstrate the progression of a "hard-core" gay performance art form into healing and the mainstream.
