Recently recognized as one of the "25 to Watch" in 2024 by Dance Magazine, Miguel Alejandro Castillo is drawn to the permeability of art forms and the new inquiries that arise from cross-disciplinary and multicultural collaborations. A director, choreographer, performer and educator, his research explores diasporic imagination and future folklore. Castillo has performed in works by Faye Driscoll, Jeanine Durning, and Tzveta Kassabova, among others. He choreographed John Adams’ The Gospel According to the Other Mary at the Volksoper in Vienna. He was a 2021 danceWEB scholar at the ImPulsTanz Festival in Vienna and a 2022–2023 Fresh Tracks Artist in Residence at New York Live Arts. He holds a bachelor’s degree in dance and theater from Middlebury College and an M.F.A. in Choreography and Performance from Smith College.
