Miro Wallner

Dancer – Performer – Visual Artist

Profile

Miro Wallner, born in 1985, is an established performing artist based in Berlin. With a rich history of collaborative projects, he has worked with renowned institutions such as Ballhaus Naunynstrasse, HAU (Hebbel am Ufer), Gropius Bau, Uferstudios and Halle Tanzbühne. His movement training draws from diverse sources, including Capoeira, Contemporary Dance, Contact Improvisation, Floor Acrobatics, and the intensive practice of Get Physical Process — a movement practice created by Ricardo de Paula. Since 2018, Miro incorporated a visual arts perspective into his research process. He worked on series of drawings to investigate aesthetics; used objects and different materials interacting with the body in an installation setting; and employed artificial intelligence to generate images with his own distinctive style, testing the potential / limitations of current available technologies. Between 2021 and 2022, Miro has been supported by Fonds Darstellende Künste and Dachverband Tanz Deutschland to conduct three art-based research projects. This allowed him to bridge his past body experiences with Cognitive Science and Linguistics theory. With this multidisciplinary foundation he is currently structuring his method of artistic investigation as a game— a tool for individuation and knowledge sharing, aiming to deepen our understanding of transformative experiences and socio-political change.
