Kieron Sargeant

Kieron Dwayne Sargeant is a Trinidadian-born interdisciplinary artist, choreographer, dancer, and dance researcher emerging out of the African-Caribbean tradition. Over the past 20 years, he has been involved in documenting, assessing and analyzing dance traditions of the Caribbean and establishing a canon of dance teachings and workshops, informed by his research, to popularize the ancestral survival of movement traditions between the Circum-Caribbean and Western Africa.
His artistic practice focuses on the emerging field of African Caribbean and African Diaspora dance practices . In particular, his work explores the processes of deconstruction and reconstruction of these dance adaptations, which span the fields of concert dance, modern dance, contemporary dance as well as their social and commercial applications.
