Kevin Alexander Stea (born October 17, 1969) is an American dancer, choreographer, actor, singer, director and model. He has worked as a dancer and choreographer with a number of high-profile artists, including Madonna, Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson, and has appeared in several movies and television shows.

Contents

Stea was an assistant choreographer and dance captain for Madonna's Blond Ambition Tour in 1990, and subsequently appeared in the 1991 documentary film Madonna: Truth or Dare . [1] [2] [3] In January 1992, along with fellow dancers Oliver Crumes and Gabriel Trupin, Stea filed a lawsuit in the Los Angeles Superior Court against Madonna's production company Boy Toy Inc, Miramax Films and Propaganda Films, alleging fraud and invasion of privacy as a result of the documentary. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Because of the international notoriety of Madonna, the suit became a pervasive media topic with Stea discussed in the news and appearing on talk shows such as Maury Povich. [9] After more than two years of litigation, the suit was withdrawn in October 1994 and an undisclosed settlement was reached. [10]

While the suit made its way through the courts, Stea went on to lay out a solid foundation for his professional career: appearing in the role of Swifty The Rake in the Disney musical Newsies, touring in the Glorious Revolution tour with Japanese pop-star Seiko Matsuda, and working with Michael Jackson by appearing in the iconic MTV 10th Anniversary live performance of Will You Be There 1991, and then going on to serve as the associate choreographer for the official videos Black or White and Blood on the Dance Floor . [11]

Early life

Kevin Stea was born in Hollywood, California, and is half-Caucasian and half-Chinese. His father owned a Chinese restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles. [12] He grew up in various places in the United States (California; Marlette, Michigan; Eugene, Oregon; Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Santa Fe, New Mexico), and then completed his high school education in Singapore on a scholarship at the United World College of South East Asia, as a boarder, where he received the International Baccalaureate Diploma. [12] Following that, he went on to the University of Southern California School of Cinema-Television, which he left to pursue a dance career.

Career

Dancing and choreography

A gymnast while in his youth, Stea began dancing seriously while he was at college. A year after his first dance job, he was hired by Madonna as a dance captain, dancer and assistant choreographer on her 1990 Blond Ambition Tour. Stea appeared several times in the documentary Truth or Dare, which was made about the tour. [5] [6] [7] [13] Along with Oliver Crumes and Gabriel Trupin who appeared in the documentary, Stea sued Madonna in the Los Angeles Superior Court for fraud and invasion of privacy, claiming that she had lied about the film and that they were not paid for their appearance in it. [8] [14] [15] According to Stea, "Madonna told me she had a crush on me when we first started. And I thought she hated me.." [16] Leslie C. Dunn and Nancy A. Jones in their book Embodied Voices: Representing Female Vocality in Western Culture (1997) argue that Stea and the other two dancers viewed Madonna as a motherly figure, a "mommy dearest". [17]

Subsequently, Stea danced and assisted with choreography for Michael Jackson. [18] [19] He has also worked with numerous other high-profile music acts including Prince, Ricky Martin, Janet Jackson, George Michael, David Bowie, Celine Dion, Herb Alpert, Macy Gray, Anastacia, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Cher, Christina Aguilera, Tony Bennett, will.i.am, Jane's Addiction, A. R. Rahman (India), Seiko Matsuda (Japan), and the Pussycat Dolls. [12] [18] In 2009, he danced in "The Question", by J.T. Horenstein at the Ricardo Montalbán Theatre. [20] [21]

In the mid-1990s, Stea worked in Italy, performing, singing and choreographing on a variety of television shows including Buona Domenica , Non Dimenticate Lo Spazzolino Da Denti and Carramba Che Sorpresa. [22] [23] [24] [25]

Fashion modelling

Also in the '90s, Stea began working as a fashion model for such designers as Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein in Los Angeles; Exte, Fendi, Nicola Trussardi and Romeo Gigli in Milan; and Jean-Paul Gaultier and Jose Levy in Paris. He also choreographed runway shows for Thierry Mugler in Los Angeles and appeared on the runway as a dancer for Gucci presentation in Los Angeles. He has also appeared in fashion spreads in high end magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar (Italy), and on the cover of the Cosmopolitan (magazine) European Edition. [26] His modeling work has continued with a 2009 spread in Fantasticsmag and a runway stint for the Band of Outsiders line in Florence in June 2011. [27] [28]

He also modeled in the works of fashion/artist photographers such as Peter Palladino, Herb Ritts, Robert Deutschman, Reggie Casagrande, Peggy Sirota, Dan Nix, Maurizio Montani, and Andrea Marino. [29] Of particular note is work on several projects with artist/photographer David LaChapelle. He modeled in LaChapelle’s homage to Bruce Lee and Chinese Pop Culture, part of the “Raft” exhibition which opened in Hong Kong in May 2011 at de Sarthe Fine Art. [30]

He also sings and performs under the name That Rogue Romeo and released the album entitled "Machine & Magic" on June 4, 2012, at the Ripples club in Long Beach, California. [31] [32]

Acting and commercials

In 1995, he starred as Daryl in Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls , a film which was a major flop and often considered one of the worst films ever made but which began to develop a cult following in 2006. [33] [34] Stea has appeared in numerous movies and television series, mainly in dancer roles, including Newsies , Melrose Place , Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit , Showgirls , The Birdcage , Across the Universe , Fired Up , [35] Charlie's Angels , Friends , Austin Powers in Goldmember , [36] 13 Going on 30 , [37] Rent , Scrubs , Dancing with the Stars , Rumor Has It... and Naked Boys Singing . He has appeared in over 50 commercials, most notably for Gap, Old Navy and Pepsi. [38]

Mr. Stea is featured in the 2015 documentary Strike a Pose directed by Ester Gould and Reijer Zwaan. The film was partially financed by the International Documentary Film Festival Forum Award, Amsterdam, and was produced by CTM Docs and The Other Room in coproduction with Serendipity Films and NTR. [39] [40] The documentary follows the lives of Madonna’s Blond Ambition dancers twenty-five years later; the dancers sharing their own stories about life during and after the famed 1990 tour.

The film premiered at the 2016 Berlin International Film Festival where it received the second place Panorama audience award for a documentary. [41] The film went on to have its American premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, the Latin American premiere at the Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema BAFICI, and premiered April 28 at the largest documentary festival in the world: Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. The film has received favorable reviews in important journals worldwide, including: The New York Times , 4/14/2016, [42] The Independent (UK) 2/9/2016, [43] The Huffington Post (US) 2/17/2016, [44] Deutsche Welle (Germany) 2/19/2016, [45] The Village Voice, New York, [46] i-D Magazine (US/UK) 2/19/2016, [47] Toronto Star, 5/3/2016, [48] Arte TV (France/Belgium), [49] The Playlist (IndieWire.com) 2/21/2016, [50] The Hollywood Reporter (Hollywood) 2/21/2016, [51] Die Welt (Berlin) 2/21/2016, [52] Rolling Stone (German edition) 2/19/2016, [53] Vibe (magazine) , Hollywood, 5/2/3016, [54] GoWithTheVlo (Netherlands) 2/15/2016, [55] People (magazine) , Hollywood 4/13/2016 [56] and again in People (magazine) , Hollywood, 4/15/2016 [57] and El Mundo 2/17/2016.

<i>Blond Ambition World Tour Live</i> 1990 video by Madonna

Blond Ambition World Tour Live is a video album by American singer-songwriter Madonna released exclusively on LaserDisc by Pioneer Artists on December 13, 1990. It contained the Blond Ambition World Tour's final show, filmed at the Stade Charles-Ehrmann in Nice, France, on August 5, 1990. The concert had previously been broadcast on American network HBO as Live! Madonna: Blond Ambition World Tour 90, and became one of its highest rated specials. The decision to release it exclusively on Laserdisc grew when Pioneer Artists signed up to sponsor the tour; the company also wanted to use Madonna to reach a new demographic and increase Laserdisc sales. It received positive reviews, with some critics saying it captured the concert better than the documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare (1991) and the HBO broadcast. At the 34th Annual Grammy Awards, it won for Best Music Video-Long Form, becoming the first Grammy award Madonna received in her career. With over 100,000 copies sold, Blond Ambition World Tour Live was one of the highest selling laserdiscs of its time.
