MillerPrugh is interested in challenging the dominant narrative of American individualism and exceptionalism, push against how success is defined, and question who we culturally hold up as heroes.
MillerPrugh seeks to disrupt the idea of the exceptional, singular artist, finding vision and mission through a sustained collaborative effort.
Over the past three years they have developed a unique process of collaborative writing. Rather than writing independently and sharing our work or generating material through a company of actors, we use Google docs, sitting together, working in the same physical and digital space, collaborating not just on large chunks, but literally finishing each other’s sentences. We write and rewrite, simultaneously and often on top of one another, talking through our ideas vocally while also sharing them on the page. It is intensely intimate and playful and has led us to a unified theatrical voice, despite the fact that we are individually very different artists and women.
MillerPrugh seeks to break people out of expectations and thought patterns that have directed both their lives and their understanding of what came before. They want to bring focus to untold histories and alternative trajectories. At their best, MillerPrugh hopes to offer a new model for both seeing the world and engaging in it.
