Bebe Miller Company makes its Harlem Stage debut with an evening that celebrates the company’s 40 years of creating exquisite physical language to explore the human condition. In a new ensemble work Indifferent Forest (2025), learnings from the forest inspire new approaches to interdependence and dancing on shared ground. Two powerful solos from Miller’s canon of work Rain (1989) and Rhythm Studies (1999), express Miller’s faith in the moving body as a record of thought, experience, and beauty. The evening begins with a tribute, honoring the late Joanne Robinson Hill, a former dancer, esteemed member of the arts education community, and champion of the arts.  Photo by Julieta Cervantes.

Harlem Stage presents the premiere of SOAK, a place-specific work created at Harlem Stage by interdisciplinary artists Eiko Otake and DonChristian Jones. It was with Jones in 2017, that Otake started her ongoing The Duet Project: Distance is Malleable, an evolving series of experiments in collaboration. In their new work SOAK, they explore water as a shared origin, and the body as rivers of memories. Drawing upon their singular and dynamic history of collaboration, they collide toward many tomorrows.
