A trippy compounding of dance, music, costumes and lighting in the world premiere of Andrea Miller's MOTHER. 

Andrea Miller and her GALLIM dance company have brought an evening-length WONDERLAND to New York's Joyce Theater after 14 years of tinkering and touring. The dancers are daring; the gems are few.

A startling, provocative contrast between two works in the Fall for Dance Festival opening program this season. And glimpses of Aran Bell when he's not being princely.

To Create a World creates a dystopian world that confuses as much as it answers. Miller's movement has a strong individual voice with constant movement and go-for-broke physicality.

Andrea Miller’s Gallim dancers, in Wednesday night’s showing of Blush, seemed to teeter wonderfully on the edge of physicality’s limits, even as the emotionally exhausting piece came to an abrupt and incongruous ending.In Ms Miller’s work, the dancers are clothed in modern-day wrestling or gladiator gear (costume design by Jose Solis), with their faces and bodies covered by a fine, white dusting.
