Tim Miller in residence with Coe Theatre

Internationally renowned performance artist Tim Miller will be in residence with the Coe Theatre Department from Monday, Oct. 19 through Saturday, Oct. 24.

Hailed for their humor and passion, Miller's performance works have delighted and emboldened audiences all over the world at such prestigious venues as Yale Repertory Theatre, the London Institute of Contemporary Art and the Brooklyn Academy of music Next Wave Festival. Since 1990, Miller has taught performance in the theater department at UCLA.

Anita Gates of the New York Times calls Miller, "A charming and wildly energetic storyteller! Funny, forceful and full of vigorous gay pride!"

Along with leading classroom workshop sessions, Miller will be performing his solo piece Lay of the Land (focusing on the issue of gay marriage) on Thursday, Oct. 22, beginning at 8 p.m. in Dows Theatre. In addition, he will produce an all-student performance piece that will be presented in the Mills Experimental Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 8 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.
