About Bebe

Bebe Miller’s vision of dance and performance resides in her faith in the moving body as a record of thought, experience, and beauty. Her aesthetic relies on the interplay of a work’s idea, its physicality, and the contributions of company members to fashion its singular voice. She has collaborated with artists, composers, writers and designers along with the dancers who share her studio practice and from whom she has learned what dancing can reveal. Since forming Bebe Miller Company in 1985 she has created over 75 works that have been performed in the US, Great Britain, the European Union, South Africa, Eritrea and Peru. One of the inaugural class of Doris Duke Foundation Artists, she is also a United States Artists Fellow, and has been named a Master of African American Choreography by the Kennedy Center. Bebe is a Distinguished Professor Emerita in The Ohio State University’s Department of Dance. A native New Yorker, she currently lives in Columbus, OH.
