Jean Pierre Makosso originates from Pointe Noire, Congo-Brazza-Ville. His formal first training was as a teacher, however, conditions were very difficult and he found himself returning to his childhood love of dance and storytelling. In 1990 the Centre Cultural Francais founded the company Punta Negra, and Jean Pierre worked with producers and choreographers from Belgium, France and Switzerland in workshops and performance developing African culture.

Jean Pierre Makosso has performed all over Africa and internationally in Switzerland with Company Amiel, in France with Theatre du Corps, in Canada at Children's Festivals in Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria, and in Shanghai, China, at the International Children's Art and Cultural Festival. He has performed at more than 700 schools world wide as a story teller and dancer.
