Collaborations with various international groups have taken Martinez to 19 different countries. He has been working with La Fleur since 2016.
Alexander Mugler, born in New York, choreographs, interprets and dances Vogueing, a dance style that emerged in the ballrooms of New York’s queer subculture in the early 1960s. Alexander Mugler’s expertise, which ranges from ballet shoes to high heels, is reflected in intense, virtuosic and hybrid performances characterized by an extensive vocabulary of abstract, energetic and sexually charged movements.
