FLAGMANIA
is an Adelaide, South Australian based group of
GLBTI people who have formed a
dynamic community social group with the aim of expressing
themselves through the wonderful art form of Flagging.
Our flagging 'troupe' is all inclusive and was formed
initially for the Adelaide GLBTI Pride March to open the
Feast Festival in November 2005 and has since established
itself as a weekly Community Group. Some of our members have
been friends for many years. We look forward to the new
friends we will make.
We
in Adelaide discovered flagging from Jamie Jewell our
choreographer, who learnt it from Benedict Leslie in Sydney
who learnt it from guys in the US.... So you see
flagging is an art form that when passed down to others has
far reaching affects!
Flagging,
or as 'Wikipedia'
has termed it in their history of flagging, 'Flagging
Dance' is a multi-cultural art form and is not as widely
known here in Australia (see Flagging
Links). We at FLAGMANIA hope to raise awareness of
this art form in the GLBTI and wider community by proudly
participating in events and corporate functions. We also
believe this art form is a wonderful visual way to raise the
spirit of any event! We love to make people smile! Not
only are we passionate about flagging and making this a
vibrant and sought after group, but also about celebrating
pride, community, creativity and gay liberation.
