Amy Miller is a NYC-based educator, choreographer, administrator and advocate.\u00a0 As Gibney\u2019s new Director of Learning and Leadership, she builds on her long dedication to both artistry and social action by facilitating the deepening of reciprocal exchange with educational institutions across the country.\u00a0 Originally from Ohio, her youth as a gymnast evolved into training at The Dance Institute at the University of Akron. She spent a decade at the Ohio Ballet where she performed works by a wide-range of choreographers including Jos\u00e9 Limon, Lucinda Childs, George Balanchine and Alonzo King.\u00a0 She was a founding member of Cleveland-based GroundWorks DanceTheater where she choreographed numerous works and continues her ongoing connection as artistic advisor. From 2012- 2022, she was a Director and a performing member of Gibney Company performing works by Gina Gibney, Bryan Arias, Peter Chu and Shannon Gillen.<\/span>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

For over a decade, Miller has focused on Gibney\u2019s Community Action initiatives and has worked closely with social workers toward facilitating movement workshops with survivors of gender-based violence, conducted both local and international trainings for artists interested in engaging in social action, and facilitated healthy relationship workshops for young people to raise awareness about the role of the arts in violence prevention. Miller also co-facilitates creative spaces for advocacy alongside Gibney\u2019s \u2018Move to Move Beyond Storytellers,\u2019 a group of survivors creating performances for audiences and performers alike to deepen our critical consciousness, witness the power of reclaiming one\u2019s agency, and move toward shared liberation.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Actively moving toward co-creating spaces that value antiracism as a foundational tenet, Miller offered three years of dedicated facilitation to Gibney\u2019s former Decentering Whiteness Working Group offering white-identifying staff members opportunities to unlearn oppressive structures, and now offers energies to Gibney\u2019s Multiracial Staff Group directly addressing reducing harm to and support of our BIPOC staff and greater community.<\/span>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Miller has facilitated teaching residencies at Bard College, Bates Dance Festival, Brown University, NYU\u2019s Tisch School of the Arts, Oberlin College, SUNY Purchase and The National Center for Choreography at The University of Akron among many others.\u00a0 She has conducted Gibney Company international residencies at Mimar Sinan University and Koc University (Istanbul), University of Cape Town (South Africa), DOCH: School of Dance and Circus (Stockholm), MUDA Africa (Tanzania) and Gisenyi, Rwanda. Miller has thrice been a Dance\/USA Mentor through their Institute for Leadership Training. Miller was honored to receive an Arts & Artists in Progress \u201cPay it Forward\u201d Award from Brooklyn Arts Exchange.\u00a0 Miller holds a BFA in Dance and is a recipient of an Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award for her choreography.<\/span><\/p>\n
