We are ambassadors and beacons of opportunity for our community.
We are more than just people throwing insane parties. One of the most heartwarming moments was when House of Yes taught a program for 6th graders at Evergreen Middle School - guiding kids on how to write and compose a story, and later making it come to life on stage! When I saw the faces of the children as their stories were performed by real circus performers, it was priceless. Getting to basically climb and spin on a giant jungle gym, while wearing heels, sparkles, and giant hair! What more could you ask for?ĭescribe a special moment at HOY that speaks to what the space means to you.
What's the best part of being a performer at HOY? We spearheaded and fought hard to lead the first ever Pride Parade at Bonnaroo Music Festival! It was emotional and energetically more difficult being in a city where LGBTQ people aren’t embraced as easily and don’t have as big of a representation. The most recent movement actually took place outside of our neighborhood, in Tennessee. In what ways does it provide a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community?
