About the Speaker/s
Eisa Jocson is a contemporary choreographer and dancer from the Philippines. Trained as a visual artist, with a background in ballet, she won her first pole-dancing competition in Manila in 2010. Her solo triptych of Death of the Pole Dancer (2011), Macho Dancer (2013) and Host (2015) have toured extensively to contemporary dance festivals in Europe, Asia, North America and Australia.
From pole to macho dancing to hostess work, Eisa investigates the labour and representations of the dancing body in the service industry, and exposes identity and gender formation, seduction politics, and Filipino social mobility. Her latest creations Princess (2017) and Your Highness (2017) under the Happyland series is a continuation of her investigation into the performance of happiness and the production of fantasy of Filipino entertainers within the happiness empire.
