Gallim Dance, a New York-based contemporary dance company, creates and performs worldwide original work by artistic director, founder, and 2014 Guggenheim Fellow, Andrea Miller. Founded in 2007, Gallim quickly captured the attention of fellow artists, presenters, and audiences with its award-winning work, ensemble of dancers, and a fearless physicality grounded by deep humanity and expressed through the madness and joy of the imagination. The company also provides NEA-recognized educational programming to dancers and non-dancers in its home studio in Brooklyn and beyond.
Gallim is a highly sought-after company whose work has been by acclaimed by the New York Times as “voluptuously polyglot choreography,” performed by dancers “of the highest calibre” (Dance Europe). The company performs for over 16,000 audience members annually in premier venues including Lincoln Center, BAM, New York City Center, the Joyce Theater, Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, Spoleto Festival, White Bird, Peak Performances Montclair University, the Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris, the TANZ Bremen Festival in Germany and Madrid en Danza in Spain. In 2012, the company was honored for ‘movement innovation’ at a TEDx Conference. Gallim also partners outside the dance world on events, films, and commercial projects. The company’s collaboration for the opening of SLS South Beach Hotel in Miami won an industry award for Best Hotel Opening of 2012.

Artistic highlights in 2014 include a world premiere site- specific installation commissioned by and performed at the David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center, which open to a sold-out house, and lines of hopefuls down Broadway. Gallim also opened the Grec Festival to a sold out audience of 3,500 in Barcelona, Spain. National tours to prestigious venues included the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, Massachusetts, Dancers’ Workshop in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Kingsbury Hall in Salt Lake, Utah. Additionally, Miller was commissioned by Barnard College at Columbia University to create a new work for their 2014 season. In the fashion world, Miller created installations for Hermès, Calvin Klein, and Faberge.

Looking ahead at 2015, Gallim will be spending a year in the creative process of a new work to premier in December at The Joyce Theater in New York, created in part during this Creative Development Residency through the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award Initiative. Gallim’s 2015 season includes 26 performances in 12 venues across the world. These include international performances at Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, and the Colours International Dance Festival at Theaterhaus Stuttgart, in Stuttgart, Germany, and nationally at The Walking Distance Festival at ODC Theater in San Francisco, CA, and The Lansburgh Theater, presented by Washington Performing Arts, in Washington DC.
