Roberta M. Guido
Roberta is a performance artist working in improvisatory dance explorations and visual media.
The dances/images they make and perform often focus on the experiences of connection and disconnection to others and our essential need for human contact. Their work oscillates between vulnerable and soulful to funky and sometimes humorous. Their dances are structured with a post-modern bent, but call upon the portrayal of actual emotions in the present moment when performed. They always questions what it means to be “accessible” through art, and how it can be possible to engage a vast range of audiences, even through complex forms. They are continually inspired by the worlds contained and remembered within human bodies; Emotional content can be accessed in our experience of our bodies, and through there work she hopes to connect viewers to a visceral human experience.
Roberta received their BFA in dance from The College at Brockport State University of New York in Spring 2015. They are a Pittsburgh native who attended the city’s Creative and Performing Arts High School (CAPA) and currently resides in the North Side.
