"An arresting and mysterious deconstruction of voguing."
--The New York Times

Choreographer Darrell Jones describes Hoo-Ha (2010) as the release of the oppressed feminine in the male body. For nearly a decade, his artistic research has found its central focus through a dialogue between his postmodern training and the voguing aesthetic. At Wesleyan, the New England debut of Hoo-Ha in a salon format is an opportunity to experience examples of these translations and their backstories. Mr. Jones hopes they ignite discussion and discovery.
