“Croquis” is a term used in fashion design to describe the quick, expressive sketch of a garment or ensemble. In this new solo performance, Ralph Escamillan explores the idea of the croquis through movement and costume to consider one's desire to leave a lasting impression in the world.

Artist Bio - Ralph Escamillan is a queer, Canadian-Filipinx performance artist, choreographer and teacher based in Vancouver, BC. Ralph started his training in street dance styles, and is a graduate of Modus Operandi—a Vancouver-based Contemporary Dance program. He has danced, toured and created with Vancouver-based companies, for film and television, and is a beacon for the Vancouver Ballroom Scene since 2017 through his non-profit organization, VanVogueJam.

As the artistic director of FakeKnot, he develops collaborative performance works that have been presented both nationally and internationally. Having ancestral roots in the Philippines, he’s fascinated by inquiries into what it means to be North American, especially within the context of cultural traditions, dance, music and costume in an increasingly interconnected global community. The exploration of how culture is created through the accumulation of ideas and concepts is at the centre of his work. He has found the body to be a powerful vessel through which these ideas can be investigated—incorporating music, costume and new media design.
