A Glowing Review of Tiffany Mills Dance Residency

Tiffany Mills, Lewis & Clark’s new Director of Dance, brought her NYC-based dance company to the college for a Residency on April 1- 5, 2025.

The Residency included free dance workshops open to the public, as well as a performance of Tiffany Mills Dance Company’s acclaimed “Viola Trilogy.” Ten Lewis & Clark students were selected to perform alongside the professional NYC-based Tiffany Mills Dance Company dancers.

Oregon ArtsWatch writer Hannah Krafcik attended some of the workshops as well as the Viola Trilogy Performance. In a review of the performance and workshops, Krafcik wrote:

“…I found over the course of the week that Mills is someone deeply invested in connections. She models a commitment to nurturing the individual artistry of dancers, knowing this will support their interrelation with one another and the wider community.”

The Oregon ArtsWatch story concluded:

“With this range of offerings, hooking into the community at so many points, Mills has provided a glimpse of the many vibrant possibilities for the future of dance at the college level in Portland.”
