SESSIONS
GALLIM METHODS is a movement technique training which practices Andrea Miller’s movement philosophy and creative methodology through a guided conversation between the body's network of systems and the imagination. Through a combination of guided improvisation and focused exercises, the class brings nuanced attention to regions of the body, its availability for movement, range, coordination, texture, and creative expression in relationship to the rest of the body and its experience within space, time, music, and art.
GALLIM Repertory is known for Miller’s exploration of the essential elements of human behavior and the alchemy of movement, performance, and collaboration. In repertory sessions participants learn award winning repertory and are immersed in an intimate rehearsal environment, receiving coaching from senior GALLIM stagers to hone personal expression and build dynamic movement range. Repertory class provides students a glimpse into company life and how GALLIM approaches rehearsing and staging repertory works.

Testimonials from GALLIM 2026 Winter Intensive:
“The overall diverse perspectives within the company and holding space, getting so much variety but under the same GALLIM umbrella, it truly impacts this idea that we are all unique and worth being shared”
“I feel like it gave me such a deeper understanding of and connection to my body. I feel like I unlocked patterns of movement that I didn’t even know were accessible”
”I feel like I left the intensive with a much deeper understanding of dance as an art.”
