연 나탈리 미크는 베를린과 서울을 기반으로 활동하는 아티스트, 무용가, 안무가이다. 그녀는 라이브 퍼포먼스, 비디오 퍼포먼스, 그리고 이미지와 조각적 오브제 형태의 무보를 제작한다. 크립 이론과 페미니스트 담론에 기반한 그녀의 작업은 제도적 인정의 범주를 넘어 존재하는 체화된 지식을 수행적으로 아카이빙하는 방법을 탐구한다. 그의 작업은 하나의 제스처, 자세, 혹은 움직임을 분리하여 탐구하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 이를 통해 억압된 역사와 간과된 사회·정치적 현실로 진입하는 통로를 제시한다.

Yon Natalie MIK is an artist, dancer, and choreographer who works between Berlin and Seoul. She creates live performances, video performances, and dance notations in the form of images and sculptural objects. Grounded in crip theory and feminist discourse, her practice explores performative ways to archive embodied knowledge that persists outside institutional recognition. Her works are known for isolating and closely studying a single gesture, posture, or movement, treating it as a portal to oppressed histories and overlooked socio-political realities.

Recently, she has been examining the entanglements of race and disability, extending into questions of intimate labor, fragility, ghost work, ancestral healing, capitalist medical systems, and women in migration networks. She is currently teaching as a guest artist at the Korea National University of Arts, Contemporary Dance Department.

Yon Natalie Mik co-founded The Invisible Archive (TIA) in 2019, a multi-authored archive and publication project that explores the intersection of art and activism through the lens of performativity and embodiment. TIA is self-organized and produced collaboratively with other artists, researchers, and activists. Her DFG-funded Ph.D. project titled Choreography of the Ghost - Dancing Resistance and Transcultural Archives was awarded ‘summa cum laude’, and was developed as part of the Graduiertenkolleg Normativity, Critique, Change at the Freie Universität Berlin.
