Grant Miller (guest artist) is a living artist in Portland, Oregon. His fires burn for butoh, mask, clown, ritual, voice, dramaturgy, art history, web design, cognitive science, and social consciousness. A native of the Willamette Valley, at the age of six Grant began to speak publicly about his experience of living a diverse body. His artistic pursuits began at Northwest Children’s Theater and School just as he entered middle school. Between 2007-2011, Grant studied at Vassar College and The Eugene O’Neill Theatre Center’s National Theatre Institute, where he developed commitment to performance practice. In 2012 Grant acted in Imago Theater’s “The Black Lizard.” He performs occasional administrative tasks for Water in the Desert, where he also participates in workshops, performances, and shared practice. Transformational teachers have included Giovanni Fusetti, Diego Piñon, Rachel Jett, Jeff Janisheki, Chris Grabowski, Gabrielle Cody, Sandra Stone, Emily Gottfried, Rebecca Lowe, Mizu Desierto, his family, and many unnamed here. Grant hopes that through his work he can honor his teachers and create art that teaches us to paint over our scars, rather than try to erase them.
