Performance
Saturday 11am-9:30pm
@ NYU Tisch Jack Crystal Theater | 111 2nd Ave.
Fresh off YEAR at The Joyce Theater, GALLIM invites you into the work.
For six days, you won't just learn choreography. You'll step inside it. Train the way the company trains, rehearse the way the company rehearses, and take the stage as part of Andrea Miller's world.
YOUR SIX DAYS
TRAIN. Start every morning in GALLIM Methods, Andrea Miller's signature approach to physicality, stamina, and presence, led by GALLIM Artists.
REHEARSE. Dive into YEAR alongside dancers from around the world. Build trust, stretch your range, and learn to move as a company.
EXPLORE. Go beyond technique with creative sessions designed to feed the whole artist: dance jams, guided meditation, manifesting and goal-setting workshops, and more.
CONVERSE. Share lunch and honest conversation with Andrea & GALLIM artists. Ask the questions you've been carrying about making art and building a life in dance.
PERFORM. Close the week on stage at the Jack Crystal Theater at NYU in a public performance, with professional video documentation to take home.
CONNECT. Leave with more than footage. Leave with people. The artists you sweat beside this week become part of your creative family.

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.
YEAR. Originally created for A.I.M by Kyle Abraham. Premiered at the Wallis Center for the Performing Arts, 2024.
We live more and more through screens. YEAR pushes back. It's a 30-minute work about presence: the irreplaceable fact of a body in a room, feeling something, being seen. Part ritual, part meditation, part test of endurance, YEAR asks how far stamina can carry you, and what you find on the other side.
