Kiel Tutin

Kiel Tutin is a British-born choreographer and creative director whose career spans world-championship hip-hop crews, music-video composition, and global pop production. After relocating to New Zealand early in his dance career, Tutin performed and co-choreographed with crews including Sorority, Kings, and The Royal Family, earning seven medals at the World Hip Hop Dance Championships, including four world titles. His work with these crews established him within competitive hip-hop training and performance.

Tutin's practice later expanded into choreography and creative direction for major artists and productions across music video, live performance, and global pop contexts. His documented collaborations include work with Jennifer Lopez, TWICE, ITZY, and BLACKPINK. For BLACKPINK, Tutin choreographed and directed staging for the group's Coachella debut and the 2023 *Born Pink* world tour, projects that brought his movement vocabulary to arena-scale audiences. In 2025, he served as performance director and choreographer for JISOO's *Earthquake* dance-performance video while also appearing as a backup dancer in the official music video, demonstrating his practice across direction and execution.

Tutin's professional framing emphasizes flair, timing, and control—qualities that shape how movement reads on screen and in concert settings, where the choreographer's role extends to organizing audience attention through accent, formation, camera perspective, and reveal. His work illustrates the integration of choreography and performance direction as interdependent tasks rather than separate disciplines.
