Mirko Guido is an Italian choreographer and dancer whose practice approaches dance as movement extending through the body and into its spatial, social and material relationships. His choreography explores how bodies, materials and spaces perform one another—each shaping and being shaped by the encounter.

Across stage works, site-responsive performances and interdisciplinary collaborations, he brings movement into contact with the particular conditions of a place, material or idea. The body moves as a porous presence, orienting itself through weight, touch, resistance, direction, proximity and attention. His works unfold as sensory encounters that shift perception and draw attention to how we encounter, shape and are shaped by the world.

Mirko holds a master’s degree in New Performative Practices from DOCH/Stockholm University of the Arts. He is based in Aarhus, Denmark, and is an associated artist at Bora Bora – Dance and Visual Theater. His choreographic works have been presented internationally at festivals and venues including PuSh Festival in Vancouver, Athens Dance Festival, Festival La Becquée in Brest, MAP/P E-motional in Porto, Teatri di Vita in Bologna, Dance Station in Belgrade, SPEL – State Gallery of Contemporary Art in Cyprus, Weld and Dansens Hus in Stockholm, Bora Bora and ARoS Art Museum in Aarhus, and the Royal Danish Theatre, Dansekapellet and Dansehallerne in Copenhagen. His choreographic research has been supported by several international institutions, including Summer Studios Rosas, Workspacebrussels, Uferstudios Berlin, PACT Zollverein and MDT Stockholm.

As a dancer, Mirko has worked with Cullberg Ballet and with choreographers including Benoît Lachambre, Deborah Hay, Cristina Caprioli, Tilman O’Donnell, Mats Ek, Crystal Pite, Johan Inger, Paul Lightfoot and Sol León, Itzik Galili, Alexander Ekman, Rafael Bonachela, Jo Strømgren, Stephan Thoss, Marguerite Donlon, Guy Weizman and Roni Haver, and Marco Goecke. These encounters have brought diverse embodied perspectives to his continuing investigation of what dance can be and how a body meets the world.
