SILENCE WITHIN SILENCE is a work based upon the romantic, almost erotic poetry of e.e. cummings. The dance follows four couples through a series of relationships and speaks to the fragility of love.

“…’silence’ shows Mills’ talent for intricate, physical partnering. The embrace that followed was more than forgiving; it was erasing.”
