Glenne Miller is a movement researcher, performer, and freelance choreographer in the Rochester, NY area. She developed her love for movement while attending the University of Utah and receiving a BFA in Modern Dance. Her research explores the body’s natural reaction to laughter and humor while also incorporating other artistic mediums such as painting, film, and music composition in her work. She currently teaches marketing and business at the Aquinas Institute in Rochester and enjoys finding new ways to combine her dance practices with the education system. Glenne is excited to continue her research in hopes that it builds bridges to connect communities across the globe.

Why the arts matter: Art is more than a way of expression; it helps us understand the world around us. A practice that makes sense of all noise until it is a cascading rhythm of raw material that awakens all of our senses. Art is how we know we are living. For me, art is the only sure thing in this world; and that is truly an intriguing thought to hold close to your heart. Experiencing life outside of yourself keeps you humble, kind, and compassionate. Art gives us a way to practice those skills while having fun!
