Miriam Budzáková is a dance/performance artist working between Austria, Slovakia, and Italy. She is a graduate of SEAD in Salzburg and holds a bachelor’s degree in dance theatre and performance from the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava. Her creative work oscillates between seriousness, humour, irony, and sentimentality. She explores the body’s experience in uncomfortable, intimate, social and public contexts. Miriam Budzáková has collaborated with the art unit INSTITUT INSTITUT (CZ/SK). Since 2017, she has been organising the cross-genre dance festival Tanečno in North Slovakia. Her collaboration with Simone Lorenzo Benini started in 2022.
