A History
"Her movement is infused with a spirit that clings to the audience even after she and her dancers have left the stage." - The New York Times
"Bebe Miller is a cartographer of human emotions, mapping the landscapes of the passions of her dance with luminous intelligence." - Washington Post
Celebrated for creating sumptuous movement that is both physically electrifying and intimately felt, Bebe Miller approaches her latest multidisciplinary project as an investigation into the deep creative process she has developed over more than 25 years. Mining the richly complex relationships between her dancers and collaborators, she illuminates the interpersonal histories that serve as the very foundation of her choreography. Performed by longtime company members Angie Hauser and Darrell Jones, A History layers video, sound and movement to chart the mind, heart and body of a dancewith Miller's signature intelligence and delicate artistry.
