ANDREA MILLER 
Artistic Director + Choreographer

"I am curious to understand the capacity of the body, its anatomy, its power, and its instinct to connect with the space and events around us. In my work, I look for texture, a quality of energy or a psychological pitch that surfaces in the doing of things."
