Tiffany Mills is choreographer and artistic director of the New York City-based Tiffany Mills Company, which she founded in 2000. Homing, a dance-theater work inspired by the wealth of experiences that shape and bind us in our homes, is presented as part of Tiffany Mills Company’s 20th anniversary season celebration. Tickets can be purchased here.

1. How would you describe your work as a choreographer?

My work is collaborative. I enjoy working with the dancers as collaborators; as well as invited artists from various mediums (theater, music, video, etc.) as collaborators.

2. Who or what has inspired you?

Judson Church artists always inspire me. Now, my kids also inspire me!

3. What have you learned from creating and performing new work during a pandemic?

There is a silver lining of the pandemic. Rehearsing for over a year from our apartments created deep personal work. When we returned to the studio there was a renewed energy and excitement to all be together.

4. What should audiences expect from the performance?

This is a dance/theater/video work that asks: What happens when personal stories and media fantasies collide? It has moments of lightness and also darker truths.

5. What are your upcoming plans for the rest of the year?

We have a new commission to create two works for 7 violas from Ensemble Ipse (June 5th 7p). We will be on the road in the fall touring HOMING.

6. What does working at La MaMa mean to you?

La MaMa is HOME!! We are so grateful for your support.
