Mikko Niemistö (b. 1984) is a choreographer from Helsinki whose work explores the formulation of the self through silent knowledge and the accumulation of bodily memories. Niemistö’s interests lie in the shattered realities of contemporary culture, and the things that linger in the background, like noise and the flow of consciousness. He currently focuses on the shadow zones of everyday reality, like dreams, psychedelia, and the supernatural. His works have been shown recently at Moving in November, Helsinki, ImPulsTanz, Vienna, Zodiak – The Center for New Dance, Helsinkiand Inkonst, Malmö.
