Kieron Jina is a multidisciplinary artist, choreographer, and teacher based in Johannesburg.

Working primarily in the realms of dance and performance art and with a background in film, Jina is interested in the ways in which performance can help to make sense of the body, the effects that work has on the body, and how performance can generate empathy through harnessing certain intimacies and vulnerabilities.

Identity, physicality, animality, technology, and sound were a few of Jina’s areas of exploration throughout the workshopping sessions of The Centre for the Less Good Idea’s 6th Season. This Season sees Jina collaborating with a number of performers to further experiment with the vocabulary of movement.
