CHC alumna to speak about dance production recently performed in New York City Tiffany Mills, artistic director of a dance company in New York City and 1992 alumna of University of Oregon’s Robert D. Clark Honors College, will show a video clip and talk about her most recent work, Tomorrow’s Legs, on Monday, August 4, at 7 p.m. in 307 Chapman Hall, 990 E. 13th Avenue. The event is co-sponsored by the UO Clark Honors College and the Department of Dance.
Collaborating with experimental theater artist Peter Petralia of England, Mills and her dance company are employing a unique combination of dance and theatre to tell the personal stories of the dancers in this new piece. “We’re investigating a new direction with this work, weighing equally dancer’s stories with the company's idiosyncratic and athletic movement,” said Mills, who has received several awards for her innovative work, including Bates Dance Festival Emerging Choreographer Award in 1998, and a University of Oregon School of Music and Dance Distinguished Alum in 2005 and Boekhelheide Creativity Award in Chemistry, Music and Dance in 2006.
Thanks to a grant from the Joyce SoHo Residency Program, Mills has received free rehearsal and performance space, technical assistance, and expert counsel to develop this production for the past year. Part of the Joyce’s educational outreach series, the piece was performed in June as a work-in-progress at the Joyce’s theatre in New York City’s SoHo district, providing the opportunity to discuss and solicit feedback about the development of the production so far.
The finished work will premiere at Dancespace also in New York City in 2009. For more information about Mills' visit to Eugene, call (541) 346-2442 or email picado@uoregon.edu. For more information about Mills' work, visit www.tiffanymillscompany.org.
