About

Mirko Guido (b. Italy) works with dance and choreography across theatres, art galleries/museums, and public spaces. His choreographic practice is grounded in a physical and conceptual inquiry into the co-agency between body, space, and material things. Each project unfolds as a negotiation of boundaries and a tension between presence and absence—where the body appears, dissolves, and re-forms through its relations to context and environment. Movement becomes a way of tuning into hidden forces and guiding attention toward the quiet co-existence of multiple processes and materialities.

As dancer, he worked in several dance companies, including the Cullberg Ballet, and with a great variety of choreographers, whom have provided him with a wide range of embodied perspectives on dance, from Mats Ek, Crystal Pite, Johan Inger to Deborah Hay, Benoît Lachambre, Cristina Caprioli and Tilman O’Donnel, passing by Paul Lighgoot & Sol Leon, Itzik Galili, Alexander Ekman, Rafael Bonachela, Jo Strømgren, Stephan Thoss among many others.

As choreographer, Mirko has toured productions across Europe, including Athens dance festival (Greece), Festival La Becquée (France), Festival MAP/P E-motional (Portugal), Teatri di vita (Italy), Dance Station (Serbia), Weld and Dansens Hus (Sweden), Bora Bora and ARoS Art Museum (Denmark), SPEL - The State Gallery of Contemporary Art, Nicosia (Cyprus), PuSh Festival, Vancounver (Canada), among many others. His artistic processes have been supported by major choreographic centres such as Summer Studios Rosas, Work Space Brussels; Uferstudios Berlin; PACT Zollverein; MDT Stockholm to mention but a few.

Mirko holds a master’s degree in New Performative Practices from DOCH / Stockholm University of the Arts, and today he’s based in Aarhus, Denmark, and is an associated artist at Bora Bora – Dance and Visual Theater.
