MKontana UM’s Independent Campus Newspaper Since 1898 aVolumeimin CXII Issue 28 Friday, Oct. 16, 2009 Acclaimed choreographer Bebe Miller comes to UM Hannah J. Ryan Montana Kaimin In a darkened dance studio, more than 30 dancers were splayed out horizontally on the floor, slowly flexing and stretching to the sound of guest choreographer Bebe Mill- er’s voice. Miller, a dance professor from Ohio State University and choreographer of 25 years, visited the University of Montana dance department this week. While here, Miller worked with a number of classes and spoke Thursday eve- ning in a “Meet the Artist” presentation. “Bebe Miller is a most prestigious dance choreographer,” said Nicole Bradley-Browning, a dance professor who played an integral part in bringing Miller to UM. “Miller is an incredibly historical figure for the arts and we have her with us,” she said. In a contact-improvisational dance class Miller taught on Thursday, she asked the students to warm up by searching inward. “Find yourself in a place that you can’t quite give a name to,” she said as she walked among the dancers spread out on the dance floor. “You are starting at a single-cell level in a primeval oce- anic soup,” Miller said as she continued to paint a vocal image the students could imagine themselves in and depict. As her class fell into this mindset, she then had them evolve by developing a spine and an intention to move around.
