Gill Wright Miller, Associate Professor and Chair, received her B.F.A. degree in Dance Performance, her M.A. degree in Movement Studies, and her Ph.D. degree in Dance and Women's Studies. Just two years out of undergraduate school, she was invited back to Denison University to teach two courses in Labanotation and then reconstruct a work from a score. She then moved to Kenyon College and to the Dance Notation Bureau in New York City before returning to her alma mater in 1981. A Certified Reconstructor, she has staged works by Humphrey, Lampert, Limon, Sokolow, and Weidman, and has performed with Carla De Sola, Deborah Hay, Richard Bull Improvisational Theatre, and Lisa Naugle and Dancers. In March 1995, Gill produced an evening concert, where you're not, both at Denison and in New York City. October, 1995, marked her debut in reconstruction at Lincoln Center. Her written research concerns public constructions of the pregnant body, healing from a developmental movement base, and body politics in general. Gill's dissertation was titled Meditations on Public Performance and Pregnancy: A Feminist Dance Analysis. Her most recent publications are "Playing toward Healing," an essay describing a treatment of neurological dysfunction of coordination through basic developmental movement (Currents, March 2001), and Becoming: Choreographic Fruits of the Womb, an essay about revealing the physical capacity of the pregnant body while dancing (Association for Research on Mothering Journal, Spring 2001.) In Fall, 2003, she contributed a chapter in the book Unbecoming Mothers titled "Leaving / Inspiration / To Grow." Currently she is working on her certification in Body-Mind Centering which is a 4-year long program headed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen in Massachusetts.
