Shandie is a Vietnamese-Canadian social innovator whose practice is grounded in dance and performance. She is a community programmer, producer, and creator of connections and space activation. In the national Kiki Ballroom community, Shandie is known as Princess Sen Gvasalia. She co-founded VogueYYC in 2018—a group of like-minded individuals dedicated to growing and nurturing Calgary's Kiki Ballroom scene. Popular categories such as Performance (Voguing), Runway, Face, and Realness are now being practiced and presented by more people who identify within this culture in Calgary. This brings more conversation to the evolving dialogue about the challenges and celebrations facing gay and trans IBPOC in the community. As a movement-based creative, Shandie's curiosities lie in how the body can be a conduit of inner and external social impact.
