The Cherdonna and Lou Show

Jody Kuehner (Cherdonna Shinatra) and Ricki Mason (Lou Henry Hoover) are contemporary dance artists who began working together in Seattle in 2004. They soon discovered a synergy of comedic timing and a shared passion for character driven movement. Jody and Ricki invented The Cherdonna and Lou Show in 2009 to combine their choreographic backgrounds with their desire to create comedic politicized and personal performance. They merge movement as the impetus for character development with the artifice of drag to reveal something true.  The Cherdonna and Lou Show has been supported by 4Culture, Artist Trust, and The Mayor’s Office for Arts and Cultural Affairs.
