2019 was Andrea’s most prolific period to date.
5 new works for 4 different companies, in addition to re-staging extant commissions and Gallim Repertory.
PSUKHE
Ailey II commissioned Psukhe in August 2019, to be toured globally in their 2019-2020 season for thousands of audience members. Called “visceral and poetic” by See Chicago Dance.

NACI
In November, Ballet Hispanico restaged Andrea Miller’s Nací, originally commissioned in 2009 with the support of the Princess Grace Foundation. The New York Times referred to the enlivened work as “festive but solemn, spiritually searching.”
SAMA
Sama, created in September for Rambert2, premiered to critical acclaim at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London. “Miller plugs into some primal pulse, awakening (and ultimately pummeling) the senses” says The Guardian.

Andrea Miller’s state continued to be toured around the world by Kyle Abraham’s A.I.M. It is a work labeled by The New York Times as refined by a “hypnotic polish.”
