About Us

MillO Dance Projects is a contemporary dance collective based in Toronto, Ontario. It was founded by Geanderson Mello and Mio Sakamoto in 2020. Our practice is inspired by aspects of Contact Improvisation; we explore movement in relationship to others through awareness, physical touch and weight sharing. Playing with gravity and momentum is a crucial element in our work. We share our practice through stage works, dance films, and workshops. We are committed to enriching our creative works and workshops that we deliver. In 2021, we launched our screening event Nightfall. At Nightfall, we present short dance films created by local professional artists. Our mission is to create a vast range of learning opportunities for local dancers to explore various approaches to contemporary dance.
