Tsolak Mlke-Galstyan is a graduate of State Academy of Fine Arts of Armenia. He was an apprentice of Riga-based dancer and director Modris Tenisons.[5]
At the age of 16, Mlke-Galstyan was in car accident which left him paralyzed for some time. That pushed him to find dance techniques which need less movement and more of soul expression.[6] In 2003, together with his sister Shoghakat Mlke-Galstyan he founded the MIHR contemporary dance company. It is the first contemporary dance theatre in Armenia.[4] MIHR theatre has staged more than 20 performances worldwide.[5][7] The most notable of its works are "Lavash", "Colors", "Ten Commandments of Komitas", "Dreams in Dreams", "Black Castle" and "Soldiers". It is collaborating with Armenia-based and foreign theatre and dance groups, organizing benefit performances.[3][8]
