| About Zell Miller III |
Zell Miller, III is an accomplished interdisciplinary theater artist and a noted spoken word performance poet. “His work reflects the ancestor storytelling and carries the rhythm’s of a hip-hop version of a Sekou Sundiata, or an Amiri Baraka,” says Tongue Magazine. Whether working as an actor, director, playwright or poet, Miller brings great passion and acute insight into the conditions of these turbulent times. A seasoned actor, with over 20 years of experience, he has appeared on stages around the country, including Penumbra Theatre (MN), the R.A.T. Conference (San Francisco), and Frontera Fest (Austin). He has authored several award-winning plays and one-man shows, and his work has appeared in the Huston Tillotson University Lit Magazine, and the Map of Austin Poetry section (online), among others.
“An enticing, seasoned, and charismatic performer” –The Nokia Observer.
His cutting-edge spoken word and hip-hop theatre play, The Evidence of Silence Broken, premiered in Minneapolis in April 2003, presented by Pillsbury House Theatre and Trú Rúts Endeavors, to critical acclaim. Arrhythmia, his hip-hop inspired love story, was selected by Penumbra Theatre as part of their 2002 CornerStone: Reading Series; it was also selected for Austin Script Works in 2003. Arrhythmia is currently under consideration for production in Chicago and Minneapolis.
As a poet, Miller is noted for his electrifying live performances, and dynamic recordings. “There is no choice but to bear witness to his lyrical gymnastics. I thought I was going to detonate listening and watching him turn phrases and words into atom bombs of truth,” The Village Newspaper.
Miller has opened for and worked with such noted artists such as Nikki Giovanni, Sharon Bridgforth, Shay Youngblood, jazz musicians Kyle Turner and Curtis Polk, and others. He was recently featured as part of InRadio’s music compilation, an alternative music anthology of cutting edge independent artists and labels.
An artist of tremendous talent, Zell Miller III continues to impact audiences across the country. He is currently based in Austin. For more information contact - info@truruts.com or 612-288-9491.
