A Holiday Classic - Dipped in Glitter and Reborn on the Streets of NYC

Join dance tradition bearer Princess Lockerooo, dubbed the “Queen of Waacking” by The New York Times, as she previews The NutWAACKer, commissioned by Works & Process for premiere at the Guggenheim. A champion of waacking—a queer dance form created in LA night clubs and nearly lost during the AIDS crisis—Princess Lockerooo reimagines a holiday classic, fusing Tchaikovsky’s score with NYC’s underground dance culture. A tribute to queer brilliance and street culture, this kinetic journey explores identity, defiance, and holiday magic through the city’s electrifying movement legacies.
