Shown here is a still from the solo I choreographed, with live musical accompaniment from Zoe Aqua and her student (not pictured). "Her Veiled Reflections explores the secrets women keep and carry. It investigates how secrets shape the ways women move through their lives, view themselves and each other. Experience a dynamic dialogue between movement, live singing, and anonymous contributors who have dared to share their secrets in writing. Watch women unite and empower each other across culture, class, religion, and age. Witness how secrets can be transformed from what keeps us separate into what keeps us connected." - read more at www.movementofthepeopledance.com Photo Credit: Emily Watson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1549065980074-G5OKEB27ZO73FX4OYSXD/Super+Serious+Post+Modern+Dance+Party-18.JPG Artist - Super Serious Post-Modern Variety Hour https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1587532139988-OVNRYEOOVX9V6RXQ1281/A7_07874.jpg Artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1455682649186-ZABZ7Q0JRLNWBUR64PGM/Cally+Spooner+-+1.jpg Artist - "It's About You" - Cally Spooner I was one of the dancers featured in the film aspect of Cally Spooner's original work "It's About You." This visual art piece was screened on the High Line at West 14th for a week and culminated in a live performance featuring the film and opera singers. "Staged on the High Line – a unique and explicitly public space – the work considers how our over-congested information economy has shifted focus, complicating the idea of the “public” realm. Here, the demand for “real life” and ostensibly private content is projected into the public eye, driven by the same reoccurring promise: IT’S ABOUT YOU." - from High Line Art, read more here Written and Directed: Cally Spooner Choreography: Adam Wienert Dancers: Caroline Fermin, Cynthia Koppe, Jhia Louise (Jackson), Cecily McCullough, Jennifer Yackel Opera Singers: Carla Jablonski, Matthew Morris, Adrian Rosas Costumes: Malene List Thomsen Videography: Pierce Jackson Editing: Cally Spooner and Jesse Watt Project Assistant: Finlay Forbes Gower Photo Credit: Liz Ligon   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1455682354661-7SN4N1T2MQO8JG9760IV/Girls+in+line.png Artist - "Precipice" - Miranda Ferriss Jones I was one of the supporting dancers/actors for Miranda Ferriss Jones original musical "The Precipice." The production was granted a residency at Z Space in San Francisco, CA, where we developed the choreography, staging, script, set, and more. "An original dark fairytale that tells the story of two young girls, Iris (destined to be a debutante,) and Polly (an orphaned slave) who are bonded together by the Goddess of Dreams, Lady Midnight. We watch them come of age and struggle to maintain their friendship in a society that is set on keeping them apart and in their predetermined roles. It is a story of sisterhood, magic, the many faces of oppression, the myths of fairytale, and the importance of living truly in your spirit." - read more at www.upontheprecipice.com Choreography: Stacey Printz, Suzy Myre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1587534016236-6PNLA0HTLHAK8RWZLHVB/Redzone-59.jpg Artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1455686521095-W69U4XT92895GZEF1Q25/Shipyard+1.jpeg Artist - "Something Leftover From The Last" - Raissa Simpson As a company member for PUSH Dance Company, I was a collaborating artist for "Something Leftover From The Last." We premiered the work as part of the Black Choreographer's Festival at Dance Brigade's Mission Theater and continued to perform the work in other SF/Bay Area locations. Created and performed in collaboration with 3rd Street Youth Center & Clinic. "Something Leftover From The Last strives to increase awareness around the toxic cleanup of the Bayview Hunters Point District’s waterfront in relation to health risks it poses to its young residents. By actualizing a space for the youth who often remain nameless, faceless, and powerless, the project offers insight into airborne health issues such as asthma and other potentially fatal diseases through its visceral storytelling." - read more here Photo Credit: Raissa Simpson Dancers: Jhia Jackson, Elizabeth Sheets, Adriann Ramirez, Katie Wong (not pictures) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1587532050590-B7AIR7Z2YSQ8LEIWOXHU/135-102719-1-21.jpg Artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1548991294852-AB7936W81QG5DWOP15JU/Pirici.Highline.Fist.png Artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1549037882801-IA4QYW68MHTULGE6FJJB/UBW+SLI.png Artist https://www.jhiajackson.com/scholar daily 0.75 2026-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1549082037900-QR5UZN241ZSMYXOYRI4Q/UCSF.FullBodyHeadShot.jpg Scholar https://www.jhiajackson.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1549501318177-Y9H0WZZZUBSJU8HH012J/The+Girl+Project.Teaching Connect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/b20c774b-5769-4898-9cdf-20a03175701a/135-102719-1-6.jpg Connect - Make it stand out Scarcity & Abundance (2023 release date) is a setting of two dance films that live together in opposition while seeking balance through constraints. Prompted by the emotional and artistic challenges of living and working separately from his partner for the 18 months leading up to 2020, photographer Jonathan Potter devised this work as a mediation on loneliness and creativity. Director and Producer Jonathan Potter worked with Photographer and Filmmaker Brian Hashimoto and dancer Jhia Jackson to develop the concept and capture Abundance in late 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic threatened to prevent the completion of the project, but in late 2022 dancer Katy Meeks and Potter collaborated the final sections of Scarcity. https://www.jhiajackson.com/source-1 daily 1.0 2026-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1587453039921-51A9MLFUEPKKHKXXU9GH/5AM_0312.jpg Source - Jhia Louise Jackson is a driving force.

Noah serves as a wellness coach with the Deaf Woke Artistic Wellness collective.

As a Bay Area native, Noah has worked over thirty different jobs while courageously carving out a dance journey of his own-at time- even against doctors' advice. In addition to thriving as a queer artist with Sickle Cell Disease, Noah is deaf and hard of hearing. He learned early on to embrace the differences against societal norms and pressure by choosing joy. A quote by Rabindranath T., "I SLEPT AND DREAMT THAT LIFE WAS JOY. I AWOKE AND SAW THAT LIFE WAS SERVICE. I ACTED, AND BEHOLD, SERVICE WAS JOY.” May the dance continue! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1686766595273-AMLMCRXMHHD7SZ5VTORG/Patrick_headshot2.jpg selected works - Patrick Perkins Patrick Perkins is a versatile artist emerging from the heart of the Columbia River Plateau in Washington State. His work channels his transformative journey from hardship on the Washington badlands, to the post-grunge poster scene in Seattle, and ending in the Bay Area where he currently resides. This uncommon path out of poverty has necessitated the development of an expansive toolkit of expressive approaches, ranging in medium from photography, motion design, videography, and printing. Patrick's art concerns itself with beauty, anger, and the expression of deep & tacit emotions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b973693c44d8beac94fc6c/1686756851690-DQ07MB2K11JHHAE9XDJG/Jhia_Spice+Girls.jpeg selected works - Jhia Jackson Jhia Jackson is a movement-based scholar artist.
