The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Tiffany Mills and the NYC-based Tiffany Mills Company have created over 20 works performed with a “fearless sense of freedom and exhilaration” (Washington Post). Mills’ process of creation is collaborative, ensemble-based, and multidisciplinary. She collaborates to blur lines between mediums and to discover layered methods of constructing dances (drawn from partnering, improvisation, and somatic modalities).

When meaning emerges from form, Mills takes command of the work, directing the dancers and the precise shape, emotion and character of the choreography. The work often focuses on the vulnerability of being human through investigating themes of communication, connection, relationship, exposure, breakdown, and transformation. Mills celebrates differences among the performers. She challenges the audience to be in an active role — to participate, experience, absorb and respond.
