The SOLO Experience

SUnday, FEBruary 15th | 10:00AM-2:30PM
MONDAY, February 23rd | 5pm-8pm

Are you a dancer looking to deepen your artistry, strengthen your solo work, or explore performing a GALLIM solo—whether for an audition, a showcase, or your own personal growth?

The Solo Experience is a two-day intensive where participants learn the opening solo from MOTHER and receive direct coaching from Artistic Director Andrea Miller.

Upon completion of the intensive, participants will be granted a limited, non-exclusive license to perform the solo in agreed-upon contexts that support their professional and artistic goals, including but not limited to auditions, end-of-year showcases, creative projects, or personal artistic practice, subject to the licensing terms outlined below.

Participants will also receive complimentary rehearsal photographs taken during their coaching session with Andrea Miller, courtesy of the participants in GALLIM's Dancing with the Camera course.

Apply today and step into the magic, rigor, and visceral power of MOTHER.

“The dancers embody balletic shapes—arabesques, penchés, splits—and molten, elastic movements, at times taught with sculptural precision, at others, melting into an almost boneless fluidity.”

- Kristen Hedberg, The Dance Enthusiast

GALLIM Methods

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.

MOTHER

MOTHER unfolds in a fantastical present where every shift of the dancers generates matter, energy, and possibility. Through GALLIM’s fearless physicality and relentless virtuosity, Miller crafts a haunting genesis: bodies conjuring landscapes, instinct colliding with endurance, and the drive to continue, regenerate, and live.

Rather than retelling any myth, Miller forges her own. Inspired by humanity’s age-old desire to explain beginnings, she transforms that impulse into a bold, futuristic creation story—one that grows more vulnerable and intimate as it moves toward reflections on motherhood, community, and survival.
