Andisiwe Mpinda is an actress and academic currently completing a Masters in Cultural Policy and Management.

While Mpinda typically works with text to guide her work, she is currently interested in exploring movement and the body as a vehicle for narrative expression. With a fascination in the improvisational and responsive nature of performance art, Mpinda’s work is also concerned with the emotional context of physical performance, and how the performing body is perceived both on and off stage.

Season 6 of The Centre for the Less Good Idea sees Mpinda exploring, amongst other things, narrative-driven physical theatre and the interplay between spirituality and corporeality.
