Gallim Dance | Whale | 2015 Premiere at The Joyce Theater (+15 minutes)

W H A L E, Andrea Miller’s 10th work for Gallim Dance, uses her radical physical language and impulsive narrative pace to juxtapose love, sex and domesticity. This piece trails the human pursuit to love and be loved, and navigates the expectations, anxiety, and forgiveness surrounding this struggle through moments of emotional vulnerability, sensual abandonment, and spiritual tribulation. Both intimate and cinematic, W H A L E invites an exploration of one of life’s most essential themes, guided by Miller’s virtuosic and unpredictable choreography. Lighting Design: Nicole Pearce Set Concept: Andrea Miller and Nicole Pearce Original Score and Sound Design: Jordan Chiolis Dramaturg: Ron Amit Costume Design: Andrea Miller and Gwyn Mackenzie Additional Music: Luigi Madonna; original compositions feature Raycee Jones, Adir L.C., Robert Natale, and Singh Birdsong
