About the hosts

• House of Dirty

  

  The House of Dirty is a local ballroom Kiki House that started from four friends who once had the same objective of finding a sugar daddy to fund their functions. In its formation, the house was brought together by the following principles: 1) the acceptance of one’s flaws or Dirt/ ‘Kalat’ as parts of an individual which should be embraced, accepted, and celebrated 2) advocacy for sex positivity and reproductive health 3) bridging ballroom culture and the queer Filipino experience.
  
  Since debuting in 2021, the House of Dirty has become a household name in the Philippine ballroom Kiki scene. Its members have snatched trophies and made moments in the categories Realness, Face, Best Dressed, Fashion Killa, Bizarre, Body, Sex Siren, and Voguing/ Performance (Old Way, New Way, Vogue Fem). The house also organized functions such as The Kalat Kiki Ball and The Surftown Ball.
  
  Currently led by Dirty Mother Ozkurr, a fashion designer, and Dirty Father Jaja, a performance artist, the house is composed of diverse individuals, whose presence and impact extend from the ballroom to the drag scene, dance, fashion, performance art, theater, and film. And in all of this, they have yet to succeed in finding a sugar daddy.

• Alvin Collantes

  

  Alvin William Collantes (b. 1989, New Jersey) is a Queer Filipino performance artist based in Berlin (Germany). Their interdisciplinary body-centered practice merges improvisation, contemporary dance, decolonial perspectives, the art of drag, and queer dance floor histories as both archival and embodied sites for resistance and transformation. Through movement and performance, Alvin explores migration, displacement, and the diasporic struggles of loss, memory, and belonging while imagining new possibilities for queer-centred worlds. They are a participant of the Performance Ecologies Residency hosted by the Goethe-Institute Philippines under the curation of Eisa Jocson and Franchesca Casauay, where they continue to deepen their artistic research. Alvin often has premiered works in Futurium Berlin and collaborate with artists such as Kiani Del Valle of KDV Performance Group; Leeroy New, RambaZamba Theatre and Alvin Tolentino of Company Erasga Vancouver, and recently exhibited at Schwules Museum in Berlin for "Young Birds from Strange Mountains." In 2026, Alvin will be premiering their solo work titled "Bibingka" at Tanztage Berlin in Sophiensaele.
