Join celebrated interdisciplinary dance company GALLIM for an intimate glimpse of the culmination of their 3-week residency at Chautauqua. This year’s showing includes two audience favorites, state and YEAR, as well as a new solo premiering this fall to Dreams by The Cranberries!
Mark your calendars to witness the dynamic program that includes a first-ever commissioned work by another choreographer, former company member Sean Howe, at the Joyce Theater in New York City, November 11-15, 2026!
Miller is a Guggenheim Fellow, the first Artist in Residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and part of the first female choreographer/composer team commissioned to create for New York City Ballet. Recent commissions include English National Ballet and Abraham in Motion.
About each work
state
Performed by a trio of women and scored by indie-pop artist RIVKA, state examines five distinct dimensions of womanhood, moving between intimate personal journeys and the communal strength built to uplift one another. Across solos and collective moments, the piece reflects on lineage, endurance, and how women carry shared histories forward.
Dreams
Inspired by the song’s grand scale and singular vocal presence, Miller brings this atmosphere to the stage, investigating how a solitary physical presence can resonate across space.
YEAR
Where Miller’s choreography often probes areas of friction to seek understanding and healing, YEAR turns toward joy, beauty, and ecstasy, exploring the capacity to sustain presence within those states. The work unfolds as a meditation on time, encompassing life and death, conflict and peace, loss and renewal. Driven by an original score by Frédéric Despierre.

Gilbert King
Chautauqua Literary & Scientific Circle – Bone Valley: A True Story of Injustice and Redemption in the Heart of Florida
From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King comes a chilling exploration of one of America’s most haunting wrongful conviction cases. Based on the hit podcast, Bone Valley dives into the dark heart of rural Florida, where a young man’s life was upended by a tragic miscarriage of justice.
In 1987, Leo Schofield was arrested and charged with the murder of his wife, Michelle. Always insistent on his innocence, he was poorly served by his legal defense: the investigation was sloppy, the case flimsy, and numerous pieces of evidence were ignored. He was sentenced to life in prison.
Over thirty years later, Gilbert King is tipped off to Leo’s case and is astonished by what he found: layers of corruption, flawed evidence, and deep-seated errors. He can’t shake the story and starts to get to know Leo and his family. Leo shows an incomprehensible amount of grace and love about his situation, which spurs Gilbert even more to tell his story.
Bone Valley is at once a revelatory investigation into a murder, a chilling portrait of the criminal justice system, and a uniquely powerful story of grace and redemption. Gilbert King has written a new classic of narrative nonfiction.
Gilbert King is the author of Bone Valley: A True Story of Injustice and Redemption in the Heart of Florida. He is also the host and producer of Bone Valley, a multi-part narrative podcast about the wrongful conviction of Leo Schofield. King is the author of Devil in the Grove, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction in 2013. A New York Times bestseller, the book was also named runner-up for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. King has written about race, civil rights, and the death penalty for the New York Times, the Washington Post, and The Atlantic, and he was a 2019-2020 fellow at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Writers and Scholars at the New York Public Library. King’s earlier books include The Execution of Willie Francis (2008), and Beneath a Ruthless Sun (2018). He lives in Brooklyn, N.Y.
