Institution/Business Type: Artist / Creative (Individual)

Hello! My name is Mira Göksel (they/them) and I am an interdisciplinary movement artist from Izmir, TR, currently existing on the land of the Massachusett and Pawtucket Peoples, colonially referred to as Boston, MA. I am a Choreographer, Educator, Rehearsal Director, casual painter, and a cat mom. I strive for creation rooted in emotional, physical, and social instincts working hand in hand for the most organic outcome in all tenses of creation. I will forever commit to the nurturing of an inclusive space with an investment in mutual support, respect and harmony.

I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my work at skewl (NY), BAAD! (NY), WESTFEST (NY), WiP by MELLE (MA), Mobius (MA), ArtBeat (MA), and Boston Conservatory at Berklee (MA), with additional support and showcases through Residencies with Urbanity X (MA) and Choreography Project Rhode Island (RI). As an educator, I teach with Abilities Dance Boston, Movement Meets through Urbanity Dance Center, BalletRox, as a Guest Short Series teacher with Midday Movement Series, and create space for “play” and exploration alongside Olivier Besson as co-coordinators for both interdisciplinary improvisational jam PLAYSPACE, and interdisciplinary improvisational showcase Moment's Notice. As project support, I have worked as Rehearsal Director for Laila J. Franklin, Simon Montalvo, Daniel Pelzig, and Maria Bauman/faculty rehearsal director Leslie Koval for the resetting of Shelter by Jowola Willa Zolar. I am a graduate of the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, holding a BFA in Contemporary Dance Performance with an emphasis in Composition.
