艾萨·霍克森是一位来自菲律宾的当代编舞家和舞者，她受过作为一个视觉艺术家的训练，同时有学习芭蕾舞的背景。从钢管舞到猛男舞，再到女公关的工作，艾萨试图探讨服务业中舞者身体的劳动与再现，从而揭露身份和性别其意义的形成、魅惑政治，和菲律宾人的社会流动性。

在她新的系列作品《乐土》（2017年）中，《公主》是与菲律宾表演艺术家鲁斯·利格塔斯的双人表演以及《殿下》是与菲律宾芭蕾舞团的五名舞者合作。这系列作品是艺术家对菲律宾劳工、幸福生活的表演与创造幸福的梦工厂帝国之延续探讨。

2010年，艾萨获得马尼拉钢管舞冠军。她的三件个人作品;《钢管舞者之死》（2011年）、《猛男舞》（2013年）和《女公关》（2015年）参加了世界各地的知名表演艺术节并广泛的巡回演出，其中包括维也纳的＂维也纳国际舞蹈节＂（2013年）、柏林的＂舞在八月＂（2013及2015年）、苏黎世的苏黎世剧院（2012年、2013年、2015年、2017年）、德国的韦尔德剧院（2014年） 和墨尔本的＂亚洲表演艺术三年展＂（2017年）。
