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 'Miller’s work has been at the forefront of establishing a valuable and much needed tradition for performance.' New Statesman and Society
'By connecting you so resonantly with the subject matter, Miller offers a poetic interlude for reflection.' Big Issue (Beheld)
'This extraordinary epic is one of London’s hidden glories.' The Wire Magazine (Linked)
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS Beheld Visitors enter a completely 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 in an attempt to cross borders into Europe and America. A sculptural and sonic installation.
Linked The M11 link road in London was completed after the demolition of 400 homes 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. Individuals borrow a receiver and map to explore the streets alongside the road.
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.
FUTURE PRODUCTIONS Graeme Miller is developing new theatre work, sound projects and installations in 2007 and is also available for commissions.
WRAP-AROUND ACTIVITY Graeme Miller gives talks about his work.
RECENT INTERNATIONAL WORK 2005 Netherlands (Beheld), Czech Republic (Lost Sound) 2004 Austria (Bassline)
