Tsiambwom Akuchu is a street dance, theater, and performance artist working across the United States.​

​

​​The work he creates aims to redefine what concert dance, choreography, and theater could be, and which stories are told in those performance spaces. Performances borrow from methods of theater-making that include acting (utilizing techniques like Stanislavsky and Laban), physical theater devising processes (like Anne Bogart’s Viewpoints and Frantic Assembly’s devising building blocks) and mask work (like commedia and neutral mask). All of which are used to frame and contextualize street and afro-diasporic dances, and their vocabularies.

​

His work focuses on the body, creating meaning through character and movement, often focusing on themes such as identity, self, and race. It is often socio-politically driven, exploring narratives that make up the lived experiences of marginalized communities, expressed through cultural products from those communities
