August is almost upon us, and that means the Drop-In Salon is just around the corner! We are thrilled to share the third featured artist in our line-up, the multi-talented Patrice Miller!

Patrice Miller is an international, NYC-based director, choreographer, and performance artist. With work that embraces the temporal and physical challenges of live performance in a process that is centered on the use of the body in relationship to text and discourse, their work is an aesthetic kaleidoscope that includes co-writing and directing This Joint is Jumpin’ which opened The Other Palace in London, directing James Judd’s Funny Stories for a lengthy summer run at the Crown & Anchor, Provincetown, and creating and often performing In the Pines, which began at The Brick, developed at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and was featured at the AUSTRAL festival in Buenos Aires. A native denizen of mostly downtown NY theater, she directed Love und Greed at Pangea, choreographed City of Glass at the New Ohio and Vaclav Havel’s The Pig … at 3LD amongst many other works at spaces including La MaMa, Theater Row, Dixon Place, beautiful small spaces that no longer exist, and a decade’s worth of work at The Brick in Brooklyn. Their original installation creations include work for The Brooklyn Museum, Prelude at the CUNY Graduate Center, SUNY Stonybrook, Grace Exhibition Space, and NYC Fashionweek. As a performer, she has appeared at NYLA for Jody Oberfelder Projects, COIL for Steve Valk, Michael Klein, and the Martha Graham Company, Performa 11 with Public Movement, and the American premiere of Richard Foreman’s George Bataille’s Bathrobe at The Brick. Patrice is also a lazy witch, enthusiastic cat person, and death doula. Their current work is an in-progress documentary based soundwalk for Clare Island, County Mayo, Ireland.

Introducing the first featured artist in our August 8 Drop-In Salon lineup - the stellar Stephanie Willing!

Stephanie will be treating our Salon audience to an exclusive reading from one of her marvelous novels. Coupled with her dulcet narration, storytime never sounded so good!

Stephanie Willing is an author, audiobook narrator, and a lifelong dancer. When she’s not writing or recording, you can find her reading, making snacks for her kids, or working in her pollinator garden in the backyard. She’s a neurospicy, bisexual Sagittarius—aka an absolute delight—and she would love to talk to you about her lord and savior Stray Kids.

Space is limited, so be sure to RSVP via the link in the bio! 🔗

As our second season comes to a close at Drops in the Vase, we want to take a moment to thank our community for championing the work we do to foster the next era of artistic expression while maintaining a connection to independent theater’s roots. We could not be more proud of the flowers we’ve grown with every drop of support you’ve poured into our garden.

Summer is often a time to reset and recharge. It is also a time to grow your bounty for the seasons to come. If you know anything about the team at Drops in the Vase, you know we live summer to its fullest.

Thanks to a generous donor, every dollar given through the end of Summer 2026 will be matched up to $20,000. Little by little, lots of drops will make a big, big splash.

We’ve built this company thanks to the hands of our community. Help us set the stage for the years to come.
