Hi, I am Miu!

a vocal artist, voice researcher, and composer of Polish origin, currently based in Yerevan, Armenia. Drawing on Slavic oral traditions, I reimagine and blend ancient folk songs with original compositions, exploring themes of belonging, human connection and relationships within diverse living environments. 

I create site-specific vocal performances, music scores for theatre, and participatory art formats. As a facilitator of voice workshops, I care deeply about supporting both individual and collective growth, holding a safe, grounded space where embodied voice work becomes a shared, living process.

I see traditional song as living sound-being – a vessel of memory and generational wisdom. Over the years, through personal encounters and fieldwork, I have gathered my own archive of traditional Polish and Ukrainian songs which I actively weave into my works.

In 2022, I founded the Otucha Collective, a Berlin-based vocal art group focused on participatory performance, the “upcycling” of traditional songs, and experimental voice practices. The collective creates inclusive, free singing sessions for local residents, with a special focus on welcoming LGBTQ+ voices. Otucha’s work bridges collective singing and contemporary performance, nurturing spaces of shared presence, expression, and cultural regeneration.

I’ve performed and led workshops internationally, both as a solo artist and in various artistic collaborations. My work has been presented at venues and institutions such as Sort/Hvid, Copenhagen (DK), Hay Art Center, Yerevan (AM),  Metropolis / Københavns Internationale Teater (DK), Fundacion Mar Adentro, Santiago de Chile (CL), Uferstudios, Berlin (DE), Freiburg Theater (DE), Radialsystem, Berlin (DE), Berliner Festspiele, Berlin (DE), Institut for (X), Aarhus (DK), Netzwerk IMPULS, Halle (DE), Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule, Halle (DE), Jatiwangi Art Factory, Java (ID), Teatr Wegajty, Wegajty (PL), Arko Theatre/ Mullae Arts Space, Seoul (KR), Between Sky & Sea, Herdla (NOR), Binaural/Nodar, Vouzela (PRT), ContextsSokolowsko (PL).
