The currency of this generation, and of the future, lies in information, in data. When logic becomes our entrypoint into every space, the body loses its relevance, its experience, its feelings, its infinite differences from one person to the next. Being present in a digital, remote, or virtual capacity changes how we as humans put stock into body language, and the exchange of being in each other’s presence. New Miller turns up the volume on human presence, embodiment, feeling, uniqueness, identity, and our reliance on bodily expression. The 30-minute piece welcomes its dancers and audiences into a space of ritual, practice, and meditation, where we enter the sublime through an investigation into the stamina of the body.
