Nona Fragnière

Voguing // Yoga

Nona joined the Ballroom Community and became part of the International Kiki House of Twinkle in Hamburg. Since then, they have participated in different Kiki and major Balls in Hamburg, Berlin, Paris, London, Munich, Lausanne and Zurich, winning several grand prizes in the "New Way" and "Body" categories.

Nona has been sharing the art form of "New Way" Voguing in Zurich through weekly "New Way" classes over the past few years. Their focus is on exploring the body as a medium of communication, translating emotional, mental and intellectual concepts into movement.

To deepen their knowledge of the body, anatomy and stretching techniques, Nona completed her Yoga Teacher Training Program in 2020 and has been teaching at several Yoga schools in Zurich. Their Yoga teaching style reflects their personal practice, which is open-minded, empowering and focused on self-exploration. The yoga class concept also integrates a part of dance and improvisation inspired from Ohad Naharin's famous Gaga technique using different visual and vocal concepts as well as abstract interpretation to create movement.

Nona is also part of the Zurich-based collective Erlebnis.xyz, serving as performer and choreographer. The collective includes visual artists and musicians, organizes dance events with a focus on experimental music in unique locations. As a former gymnast, Nona also regularly trains in aerial hoop and took part in the Swiss Championships IPSF 2022 in the semi-professional artistic aerial hoop category in Biel, winning the first place.
