Rocha Dance Theater is thrilled to present the world premiere of Caution:HOT, which incorporates theatricality, outlandish, original costuming, projection, and dance in an often surreal ode to womens’ reproductive bodies. Through a series of linked vignettes, Rocha Dance Theater delves into the unmentionable and taboo, forcing the hush-hush, murky world of reproductive stages into the spotlight in this compelling world premiere. From tampon wigs to the proverbial biological clock, Caution:HOT puts it all out there, unabashedly and unashamed. 

Caution:HOT is choreographed and costumed by Jenny Rocha of both Rocha Dance Theater and lauded neo burlesque troupe, The Painted Ladies, and showcases a percussive, nuanced score by husband and long-term collaborator, Joseph Rivas. 

Featuring dancers Alex Bittner, Dervla Carey-Jones, Nikki Ervice, Jamie Graham, Nicole Lemelin, Corinne Shearer, and Rocha herself, Caution:HOT will shock, delight, and destigmatize.

One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
