🎭 Upcoming Workshops: Theatre of Love
The Body Keeps the Love
A private weekend workshop with Chenoeh Miller
For Little Dove Theatre Art alumni only
This April I turn 50. What the actual fuck!?
Rather than celebrating with a party, I’m marking this awesome moment through practice — through care, attention, and the sharing of what has shaped my work and my life.
Throughout March and April, I’ll be travelling, studying and resting. During that time, I want to gather with a group of people who already know the language of Little Dove, to play and work together in a way that we all love.
This weekend is not a new intake.
It is not introductory.
It is not performative.
What this weekend is:
A two-day Theatre of Love workshop for artists who have previously worked with me through Little Dove Theatre Art.
We will work with:
• Presence and attention
• The body as an instrument of love and truth
• Silence, witnessing, and relational awareness
• Careful physical and emotional listening
• Practice as nourishment rather than production
The work will be shaped by the people in the room, held within a clear container of consent, care, and respect.
Fifty feels like a crossing.
I’m no longer interested in proving or pushing.
I’m interested in distillation — what remains essential, what is worth passing on, and how practice can continue to soften rather than harden us. I would love to explore these ideas with you.
This weekend is part of my own self-care month, and I’m inviting a special circle to share it with me.
Saturday April 25 + Sunday April 26, 2026
10am – 3pm each day
Exclusively for artists who have previously worked with Little Dove Theatre Art
Limited to 20 people
$175 for the full weekend

This feels like the ultimate way to mark my 50th year — in practice, in presence, in love and in play.
Love,
Chenoeh

About Little Dove
Founded by Chenoeh Miller, Little Dove Theatre Art creates works of love, connection, and transformation from Canberra to Edinburgh.
Previously a private practice for creating Little Dove shows, these workshops are a new gift to Canberra and visiting artists: rigorous, tender, and creatively expansive.
Theatre of Love™: Embodied Performance Training
Join award-winning director and founder of Theatre of Love™, Chenoeh Miller, for a transformative in-person training experience.
Theatre of Love is a physical theatre methodology rooted in love, presence and the body as oracle. It draws primarily from Japanese Butoh and it’s deep image based physicality, movement from the inside out, presence as transformation, the body as truth.
The Theatre of Love also draws on techniques and inspirations from the Theatre of Cruelty, the Suzuki Method of Actor Training, Viewpoints, Laban, Pina Bausch and more.
Facilitated by Chenoeh Miller.

Testimonials:
“The opportunity to learn, practice and train regularly in a relaxed but safe and professional setting with a dedicated group of peers has been wonderful.
It’s a gentle but magical reprieve from everyday life, something I’ve looked forward to each week.
I’ve left every session feeling like the work has somehow made room in my brain and body for new feelings and ideas” -Ketura Budd (You Are Here creative director and CEO)
“From my time in multiple projects with Chenoeh/Little Dove, it has always really stood out to me how effectively Chenoeh puts care for artists and their ideas at the centre of the work. This might sound trivial or a luxury, but it frames an entire world of difference which is borne out both the quality of Chenoeh's work, and the transformative experience that it is to create with her” -Chris Endrey (International performance coach and podcaster)
“It was exactly what I was looking for. I learnt lots of things about myself and gained confidence in my abilities. I discovered new ways of moving, within my physical disability” - Megan Munro (Producer, Queer Variety Show)
“If art exists for us to experience feelings, concepts and understandings that can’t be shared in more simple ways, then Little Dove Theatre Art brings truly outstanding art to community and humanity” -Simone Penkethman (Musician and Arts Producer)
“Miller exudes a commanding privacy, encouraging a deep and honest self-reflection. Nothing is frivolous. Everything is ordered, considered and has purpose creating great safety for her artists” -Alicia Melonie Jones (Nobbs Suzuki Praxis)
“Her vision of and devotion to a theatre of Love has guided her throughout her career, creating work that is at once fiercely tender, and utterly unforgettable for all involved. Her unrelenting knack for truth-telling, unique creation processes and poignant physical/visual story-telling place her on the cutting edge of physical theatre/performance art in Australia.” Noa Rotem (International Dancer/Choreographer)
“Chenoeh Miller is one of the most original and inventive theatrical artists, as well as one of the most tenacious and skilled facilitators, working in Australia today. In her creative work with both her own company Little Dove Theatre Art and other entities, Chenoeh has managed to develop a unique theatrical language that expresses something profoundly and universally human. Her theatrical execution leads a revolution in how we understand the nexus of theatre, dance, physical theatre, and the ability of the human body to express raw and delicate material for audiences.” Dr. Kat Henry (Victorian College of the Arts)
“The work that Chenoeh originates and fosters is defined most of all by her deep understanding of the moment that performance connects to audience. She has mastery of multiple processes that reliably create an intense emotional interface between ‘punters’ and her work. These moments of connection are always care-based and equitable to both sides, even when assaying confronting subject matter, and do not require audiences to be particularly art-literate to engage with. Working in her Sound and Fury performance troupe across the years has taught me much about how intense and nutritive the moment of live performance can be” Nick Delatovic (You Are Here creative producer)
