performance the mill julie alexander jennifer lafferty sandy tillett
The Mill creates dance works that present the human spirit as unadorned as possible. Raw, exposed and dynamic - the physical language reflects the intimacy of life and the power of shared and individual experiences, exposing vulnerability, human fragility and the vast emotional terrain of the human soul. The movement is woven with original sound scores to create textured fabrics, sometimes heavy and thick, sometimes rail thin and transparent. The Mill's work attempts to challenge our perception of live dance performance while opening our hearts and minds in ways that transcend our limitations and the expected.
Michou Szabo is the artistic director/choreographer for The Mill, a company he created in 2006. He studied piano performance at The Cleveland Institute of Music, film at New York University, and dance at SUNY Brockport (MFA). In New York, his work has been seen at Dixon Place, Joyce Soho and Dance Theater Workshop through Dancenow/NYC/The Festival, The 92nd Street Y, Movement Research at the Judson Church and La Mama Moves Dance Festival. He has performed in the work of Troika Ranch, Kota Yamazaki/Fluid Hug Hug, Susan Marshall, Meredith Monk and Myriam Herve-Gil.
CPR's programs are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council, as well as the Foundation for Contemporary Arts.
