FX has announced the official preorders for Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson and Brad Falchuk's new musical "Pose," an eight-episode order for summer 2018. Meanwhile, Tatiana Maslany, who was previously set to star in the show, will drop out and her role will be played by another actor. Set in 1986, the story describes the parallel development of multiple key elements in New York social life: the Trump era has taken shape, urban society and literature have become mainstream, and the underground LGBTQ subculture (or "ballroom community", "Ballroom community", "Ballroom community", "Ballroom community", "Ballroom community" culture") began to be known. In a sense, you can think of the show as "Glee" with strong political overtones and "for the rights of LGBTQ people." While Ryan Murphy initially preferred unknown young actors to star in the show, the final core cast consisted of Hollywood's top actors: Evan Peters, Kate Mara, and James Van Der Beek. In addition, the show will set two all-time firsts: the show with the most LGBTQ actors in history (Ryan Murphy says the show features more than 50 LGBTQ actors playing LGBTQ characters), and the show with the most transgender characters in history (with the director may be transgender). After a six-month national audition, the cast has tapped MJ Rodriguez, Indya Moore, Dominique Jackson, Hailie Sahar and Angelica Ross, all of whom play transgender roles. Tony Award-winning veteran actor Billy Porter and newcomers Ryan Jamaal Swain and Dyllon Burnside will also perform, along with a number of dance legends serving as production consultants and dance consultants. It's not hard to see that Ryan Murphy's new work is really all-encompassing and ambitious. Evan Peters and Kate Mara will play Stan and Patty, a New Jersey couple trapped in the bright and complex world of New York intrigue. James Van Der Beek plays Stan's boss, financial mogul Matt.

Ball is the most important activity of this group and is the focal point of the whole film. It literally means a dance party, and it specifically refers to an activity in the black gay community in the United States in the 1980s. People buy clothes, put on makeup, and gather in the ballroom to hold a "competition". The competition is divided into multiple categories, covering catwalks, dances and other forms. The judges will score one by one to determine the winner of each category. If football and basketball are competitions that drive straight people crazy, then ball is a gay costume carnival. Here, they don’t have to hide their gay identity, but show themselves generously, showing beauty and coquettishness, desire and dream.
House is another impressive concept, the "family". Different from families based on blood ties, the families here are mostly founded by prestigious ballroom winners, and are maintained by similar aesthetic tastes and deep emotional connections. Ball is a "competition" in name, but it is more accurately regarded as a "war" between houses. In order to get a ticket to join a favorite house, the novice will fight on the ball for the glory of their own house. The comrades who were rejected, abandoned by their parents, and even homeless, found material and spiritual support through the house. This kind of support made them forget the surname that only brought them humiliation in the past, and turned to the house name as their present surname. "I'm a LaBeija / Ninja / Xtravaganza / St. Laurent / Pendavis..." The pride in the "family oath" doesn't even need to be spoken, just watch their every move on the ball, every look in their eyes. Every action can be felt.
Shade is not limited to words, voguing is a dance that originated from throwing a shade with body movements. Competitors who are indistinguishable by their appearances on the ball often compete in voguing dances. Voguing takes its name from the fashion magazine Vogue, because most of its dance moves are the poses of magazine models. With Madonna's Vogue hit, voguing entered the mainstream pop culture scene. Several of Madonna's standard moves in Vogue, learned from House of Ninja. The father of Voguing was Willi Ninja, the "patriarch" of the House of Ninja at that time. He named his family Ninja, because of the ninja's freedom of movement and swiftness like the wind, and his spiritual attainment and incisive interpretation of voguing dance are indeed as neat as the name of this family. People are convinced.
Read and shade are probably the two most familiar words in the queer subculture. Read means to grasp the opponent's shortcomings and carry out precise complaints. Different from hostile abuse, read is often clever and humorous, which can dissolve the tense atmosphere, make the person read laugh along with it, and be convinced by the cleverness and wit in the words. Shade is a hidden struggle, with words hidden in words, to paraphrase Dorian Corey's classic interpretation in the film, "Shade is ... I don't tell you you're ugly, but I don't have to tell you because you know you're ugly." Throw a shade is the action of shade, and the adjective shade is used to describe such words.
Voguing is an underground dance developed in New York's gay community. It includes hands (gesture), spin (rotation), dips (fall), duckwalk (duck jump), and of course, basic pose (posture), leg bending, lower waist, arch bridge and other small details. Voguing is an atmosphere-driven, dynamic dance. It is rarely performed with complete songs, and mostly uses improvisational rhythms. This kind of underground dance style will hold a battle, and there is a voice beat host in the battle, who will match the rhythm and oral accompaniment for the battle players. In fact, voguing is also similar to breakin. It does not require rhythm and detailed skills like poping and locking. Voguing is a freestyle dance. Difficulty is easier than breakin.
