Rooted in an interdisciplinary approach, Mirko Guido’s artistic practice unfolds as a physical and conceptual inquiry into how body, space and materiality move with underlying forces that precede us, follow us and surround us, proposing movement as a form of listening and thinking with the world. Across stage works, site-responsive performances and interdisciplinary collaborations, he develops situations where movement emerges from the body’s negotiation with the specific material conditions of each context. Through this embodied–material interplay, audiences encounter a space where meaning is deposited in the entanglement of human and more-than-human agencies. Consistently proposing choreography as exposure, Guido approaches dance as part of a wider ecology of forces: a practice of sensing, listening to and thinking with the forces that shape both bodies and environments.

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