Eisa Jocson

Eisa Jocson is a contemporary dancer and choreographer from the Philippines. Having trained in classical ballet and visual arts, her work has focused on the intersection between body movement languages and the socio-economic conditions of mobility. Her work exposes body politics in the service and entertainment industry as seen through the unique socio-economic lens of the Philippines. She has toured extensively in major contemporary festivals with her solo triptych, and with her new works under the Happyland series, she continues to investigate Filipino labour, performance of happiness and production of fantasy within the happiness empire.
