In this week’s City Paper, I interviewed Miro Dance Theatre choreographer Amanda Miller about her future work-in-progress, How Am I Not Myself? The piece, which she performed last night with standard Indian dancer Viji Rao, is a indication on the two dancers’ realization that, despite their differences, they’re actually quite alike:
When Miller met Rao, she most likely felt like she was stuck in a modern-dance Parent Trap: Despite their differences in race, gender and hemisphere, the two had led eerily equal lives — same birth week, same dance background, same shift from traditional to contemporary.
Even if you missed last night’s Open Studio sequence at Girard College, you can still follow Miller and Rao on their travels to India — they’ll be video-blogging, and we’ll be pestering them and reporting back occasionally on their experiences. Till then, verify out my Q&A with Miller, and appointment mirodancetheatre.org if you want to help them in their fundraising efforts. (Donate $250 or more and Miro will take a adapted photo for you each day they’re in India; donate $1,000 or more and you’ll get your own dance video. beautiful cool.)
