Who am I
Polyhedral artist. Musician (graduate in composition), actor, performer, director, creative process coach and communicator.
Zelis Niegaard (Director Gadeteater Festival, DK):
Very talented, charming and wise actor, who can easily reach a huge number of public and activate them to join their rhythm. A valuable ability for a street artist, since he is good at using his ego for a great stage charisma and empathy for a strong public connection.

Result of the artistic residence at Sala Melmac - Bcn Dec 2019.
50% is a project (body/word/sound and video), where the concept of time/space was explored and researched both from personal experience and a poetic interpretation of formal physics theories, using this process of investigation and self-reflection with the intention of creating a performance piece.
The process lasted 6 weeks and the result was a 50 minute performance.

Dirección "Play!" - Ual.la
Play! is the second work that I directed, and in this case also co-created, with the very creative Ual.la ensemble.
Play! is an invitation into a permanent state of play, where the characters are presented to us in an everyday context, but their actions are influenced by absurdity and uncommon patterns.

Always drinking marching Band 2010 - present
From all of my collective projects, it is with the prestigious Catalan Brass Band that I have worked with the longest and where I still continue. I am the front man of one of its shows (with performances in more than 20 countries - Europe, Asia and America), as well as co-manager of the artistic part of the company. ADMB website
Along with my experience in the world of music and theatre, I have studied a postgraduate in coaching at the institute integratiu de Bcn.

Joaquín Daniel:
"In the process of assembling a new show and when that typical moment of CRISIS inherent in any process of these characteristics appears, we arranged a session with Mila. In a few working days, I managed to discover a new and revealing perspective on my work thanks to those hours of work with him. "
​
Ali Ba Brass:
"The work together with Mila has helped us in a short time to improve, to design choreographies and to increase the awareness of being inside the gig, together with a greater connection between the musicians"
​
Batucada Arritmia:
"The result of the work with Mila: our percussion group became a great show, taking away our fears, filling us with strength and trust, without neglecting those subtle touches of connection with the public."

Waldtraut Schmidt-Shire
"Mila von Chobiak webt aus Schauspiel, Musik, Clownerie und Choreografie seine Kunst der Street Performance. Herausragend ist dabei die Art und Weise, in der das Publikum gleichermaßen liebevoll wie offensiv in das künstlerische Geschehen einbezogen wird. "
