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 a 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 a choreographer Mirko he has toured his 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) 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.
