Tiara Jackson was born in Ljubljana, Slovenia and raised in Dallas, Texas. Jackson is a performance artist, movement director, and model living on unceded territory of the Kizh, Gabrieleño, and Tongva people (also known as Los Angeles, CA). She uses movement as a way to transcribe initial feelings, subconscious thoughts, and daydreams. Her work billows between bliss, sorrow, and comedy to represent the vast emotions one may experience in any moment.

Jackson’s choreographic work has been presented at the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT), Pieter Performance Space, Thymele Arts, ArtShare LA, and Sade Gallery. She has collaborated with multiple interdisciplinary artists including Milka Djordjevich (CORPS, World Premier 2021), Katherine Helen Fisher of SafetyThirdProductions, Standard Vision, Caitlin Adams of Heid Co.(New York), Award-winning Director Natalie Metzger, and experimental opera creator Anna Luisa Petrisko. Her craft has expanded into the commercial world as a featured dancer in music videos by artists such as Katy Perry, Molly Sarle, Little Monarch, Coco, and TOKiMONSTA.

Jackson earned a BFA in Dance and Choreography with a minor in Natural Science from the California Institute of the Arts (2013). She is also a certified Pilates instructor with training from The Sheppard Method Pilates in Westwood, CA.
