Ginny Jiang was born and raised in Meicheng Town (Hangzhou) and Ningbo City in China. Ginny is an interdisciplinary artist, educator, choreographer, filmmaker, and dancer. Her work critically examines representations of gender, race, and oppression in performance and media, employing both metaphor and subversion. She examines how choreographic structures, strategies, and processes may be obscured or revealed as modes of cultural production. Ginny’s research draws on feminist studies, corporeal politics, and critical dance theories to explore how collective action and embodied movements intervene in and challenge social normalcy. Her upcoming residencies include MaiOui Danse Arts D5 (Saint-Julien-Molin-Molette, France) in May 2025 and Mothers’ Milk (Newton, Kansas) in July 2025.
