Jeremy Santos

Jeremy Santos is a first generation Filipino Australian Movement artist, Writer and Spoken Word Poet whose passions for creating, performing and teaching allow him to advocate for representation and diversity in the arts and broader media through the intersections of multiple disciplines, practices and crafts. Known for his honest, raw and expressive performance style, Jeremy’s crossing and meeting of Dance, Spoken Word, Film, writing and experimental art has provided pathways, platforms and perspectives for him to explore and express his experiences and views as a queer millennial of the asian diaspora living with HIV, the parallels between each specific community and identity through stigma, prejudice, history and culture and the tensions, tribulations and triumphs that can arise from processing and reconciling these lived experiences. In essence Jeremy is a champion for and of connection by his willingness to delve deep and openly express the specific story of the one and how it can echo to find a place in the stories of the many.

After attaining a Cert IV in performing Arts at Urban Dance Centre his professional practice spans the past 10 years with a stream of projects, works and jobs that have provided Jeremy with the opportunity to develop and hone his versatility and commitment to his work.
