GALLIM PREMIERES
Gallim is dedicated to advancing the practice of creativity.
from 2019–2020, Andrea Miller and the Gallim dancers explored the concept of essence and revisited 10 years worth of Gallim’s best choreography to create two new works.
“It conceives a world parallel to the one we know, though ineffable.”

TO CREATE A WORLD
Gallim’s newest full-evening work premiered to standing ovations at the Joyce Theatre in February 2019.
It was heralded as a “primordial world that’s fiercer than anything religious texts ordain” by DanceBeat.
The highly successful run was the company’s first self-produced New York City Season.

TRUE, VERY
Gallim premiered True, very during the company’s Ted Shawn Theatre debut at Jacob’s Pillow in August 2019.
Also making its way to the Ted Shawn stage was another celebrated repertory work, Boat, which opened the performance.
Boat was later performed at the Hudson Valley Dance Festival in October 2019 in support of Dancers Responding to AIDS.
In November 2019, Boat was honored to be shared at The 17th Annual New York Circle: Act for Refugees hosted by Refugees International, honoring Zeid Raad Al Hussein, former UN High Commissioner of Human Rights.
The work was inspired by the Syrian Refugee Crisis and received by viewers as a physical anthem of how, as described by Zeid, “love of a neighbor really means love of a proximate stranger.” Zeid called Andrea’s work “extraordinary” and a testimony to “how humans are built to interlock.”

“Gallim offers dances of hope and humanity.”
Mixing raw physicality and vulnerability, our work conveys the authentic, emotional palette of the human experience. Your support will allow Andrea and The Gallim Dancers to continue making work throughout our second decade of creativity.
