Eisa Jocson is a contemporary choreographer and dancer. She exposes body politics in the service and entertainment industry as seen through the unique socioeconomic lens of the Philippines. She studies how the body moves and what conditions make it move, be it social mobility or movement out of the Philippines through migrant work. In all her creations—from pole to macho dancing to princess and zoo animals—capital is the driving force of movement pushing the indentured body into spatial geographies.

Jocson received a BFA from the University of the Philippines in 2008. Her work has toured extensively in major performing arts festivals, biennials, and institutions worldwide, including Biennale of Sydney (2024); Tate Modern, London, UK (2023); National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, South Korea (2024 and 2020); Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong (2020); and Sharjah Biennial 14, UAE (2019); among others. Jocson is a recipient of the 2018 Cultural Centre of the Philippines 13 Artists Award, a Hugo Boss Asia Art Award (2019), a Seoul MediaCity Biennale SeMa-HANA Award (2021), and the Tabori International Award (2023).
