#BroadwayBares: Twerk from Home: Red Room

To combat the monotony of pandemic video meetings, the men of Kellen Stancil’s “Red Room” delivered a Bares twist to this year’s Silhouette Challenge on TikTok. Dressed in blazers with ascots on the top and lacy fishnets with garters on the bottom, the men spiced up their boring Zoom with some on-screen twerking. Directors of photography Gianni Howell and Omie Blue of Greater Heights Creative turned a candy-colored conference call into an offline meeting of sinewy bodies as the seven men, led by Marquis Cunningham, exchange their blazers and ascots for leather corsets and stilettos.

After more than a year of being homebound and Zoomed out, Broadway Bares: Twerk from Home turned its signature blend of dance and striptease into all-new cinematically filmed mini movies for a unique online premiere Sunday, June 20, 2021.
Broadway Bares: Twerk from Home gave audiences a more up close and intimate Bares than ever before. The show, directed by Tony Award winner and Bares creator Jerry Mitchell, featured 14 original numbers that opened the doors for 170 dancers to uncover fantasies and discover confidence in the wake of being stuck at home for so long.
