Aaron Kaiser Garcia (b. 1998, Philippines) is a performance-maker and an alumnus of the Intercultural Theatre Institute (Singapore) and the Dance Program (Folk Dance) at the Philippine High School for the Arts, with a background in folk, contemporary dance, and theater. He is trained in Philippine Folk Dance, Odissi, Chhau, and has immersed in different traditional forms like Kuttiyatam, Beijing Opera, Wayang Wong, and Noh Theatre.

​

Aaron’s work currently explores the potentiality of the body to process and reveal the layered landscapes of the Filipino socio-political psyche, or even actively counter political revisionism via choreography. Trained in the folk dance tradition, he now seeks to interrogate the term’s implication in state mechanisms of violence and erasure by invoking the true spirit of folk as a mutable and mutualistic practice.
