About
Mila Fernandez is a French choreographer, dancer and curator, working in the contemporary art sector between France and the UK. Passionate about the arts her versatility and drive have led her to work with international teams of creatives on performances, films, exhibitions and immersive installations.
Graduating from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in 2022, Mila obtained a BA in Contemporary Dance. Creating both choreographic and installation works, her practice explores emotional and physical relationships merging fictional and non-fictional storytelling in metaphorical scenarios. Her recent works were shown at Staffordshire Gallery (2023), Millbank Center (2023) and French Institute in Barcelona (2021).
Mila is the co-founder of The Grounding Project (recipient of the Trinity Laban Innovation Award in 2022), a multi-national dance collective, working within the environmental dance sector to share the stories of our planet and its people. She co-produced and co-created a filmic documentary trilogy entitled The Water Series (2023).
As a contemporary curator her practice sits at the junction of choreography and curation where embodied knowledge is used as a tool to inform curatorial decisions. Mila combines creative collaboration with multi-sensory practitioners, to generate curatorial decisions based on pre-existing movement memory of the human body. Exploring how multi-disciplinary sensorial activation can impact her audience. As a curator, she explores set design, programming live events and generating conceptual approaches to navigate spatial design. As part of the Contemporary Art Curating MA at the Royal College of Art (2023-2024) her works include: No Mans Land (2022), Tittle Tattle (2024), Night Vision (2024) and Symbiotic Encouters (2024).
Her MA research explored her own practice entitled Curating from the Body in relation to the question of enquiry: To what extent can methodologies used within embodied knowledge allow for a deeper relationship between bodies and liveness to emerge?
