I am Irena ‘Mohini’ Mihalkovich. I was born and raised in Belarus and am currently based in London, UK, having completed my Master's in Choreomundus: Dance Practice, Movement and Heritage (France, Norway, Hungary and the UK). I have always had a passion for telling stories, whether they are my own or those I have collected throughout my journeys. I create using an interdisciplinary approach, focusing on performance, film, narrative, and writing.

I specialise in Mohiniyattam and Bharatanatyam, two traditional Indian classical dance forms. Dance brought me to India, where I spent 10 years researching and embodying these art forms. In addition to my film and performance works, I am actively involved in teaching and mentoring, especially young people who want to explore their creativity and start their own art projects through community outreach.

I live with a complex hereditary condition, which has prompted me to seek existential answers on life and death across multiple cultures, communities, and their narratives. In my performances, I interweave the topics of femininity, trauma, death, transcendence, and spirituality.
