ARTISTIC POLICY Graeme Miller is a theatre maker, composer and artist. Emerging from the bold and influential stage work of Impact Theatre Co-operative in the 1980s, a group he co-founded, his own work now embraces a wide range of media. With the idea of being ‘a composer of many things that may include music’, he has made theatre, dance, installations and interventions. Always reflecting a sense of landscape and place, he regularly makes site-specific works to commission.
REVIEW EXTRACTS ‘Graeme Miller's Beheld [is] an exquisite, desperately moving piece of work.’ Lyn Gardner, Guardian Unlimited
‘Miller’s work has been at the forefront of establishing a valuable and much needed tradition for performance.’ New Statesman and Society
‘This extraordinary epic is one of London’s hidden glories.’ The Wire Magazine (Linked)
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS Beheld Visitors enter a dark space and encounter ten glass bowls; each contains an image of the sky, and holds recorded sound, mapping sites where stowaways have fallen from aircraft undercarriages while entering Europe and America. A sculptural and sonic installation.
Bassline Large-scale sound and video site-specific installation that captures the traces of a journey made by a chain of walkers as they pick a random path through the streets of the city.
Linked For the construction of London’s M11 link road, 400 homes were demolished amid dramatic and passionate protest. Concealed along the three-mile route, 20 transmitters continually broadcast hidden voices, recorded testimonies and rekindled memories of those who once lived and worked there.
FUTURE PRODUCTIONS Graeme Miller is developing new theatre and music theatre work, films, sound projects and installations in 2008 and is also available for commissions.
Foley A new theatre piece using filmed footage of crowd scenes and live performances by sound effects artists.
Ring An installation piece recording 24 hours in the area within “striking distance” of a tolling bell, and Bacchanal, a filmic, theatrical and musical burlesque of urban British Saturday night behaviour.
WRAP-AROUND Graeme Miller regularly leads workshops and gives talks, both in connection to touring work and independently.
