Hugo Ball is a polysexual, oppositional, surrealist monthly dance happening which launched at Chicago’s Smart Bar in September 2012. Hugo Ball is a member of Smart Bar’s residency program for 2014-2016. The Hugo Ball “Troupe” is Justin Long, Nathan Drew Larsen (Eris Drew), Sevron, and Sold. It is based on a musical philosophy that transcends genre and time—one might hear Severed Heads mixed with Terry “Housemaster” Baldwin, Section 25 and Gesloten Cirkel.  All selectors play vinyl and all live shows are performed on hardware. Hard-dancing and democratized space are the politics of the dance floor.
