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."
ANDREA MILLER is a groundbreaking choreographer, creative director, and founder of the internationally renowned multidisciplinary organization GALLIM, represented by Opus 3 Artists.

In 2022 Miller’s commitment to creativity and dance education led to the establishment of the GALLIM School of Movement, a home for the exchange of movement wisdom, artistic practice, and community building through dance. Miller created the GALLIM Moving Artist & Parent Moving Artist Residencies to provide holistic support to the large community of artists who have previously been underrepresented in the movement arts.
