Miller is an internationally acclaimed performance artist whose work as a performer and writer explores his artistic, spiritual and political identity as a gay man. 鈥淕lory Box鈥� focuses on same-sex marriage and the struggle for immigration rights for lesbian and gay bi-national couples.
鈥淚 want the piece to conjure for the audience a new glory box, a new kind of hope chest, that can be an alternative site for the placing of memories, hopes, and dreams of gay people's extraordinary potential for love,鈥� explained Miller.
Miller has taught performance in the theater department at University California Los Angeles and the dance program at Cal State Los Angeles.
Following the performance, Miller's books - 鈥淪hirts & Skin,鈥� 鈥淏ody Blows: Six Performances,鈥� and 鈥�1001 Beds: Performances Essays, and Travels鈥� will be on sale and the author will be available to sign copies.
