TIM MILLER FALL NEWS-THOUGHTS-NEW BOOK!!! SCOTLAND PREMIERE!!!
Hi All,
I send my best
thoughts to all. Hope you are all doing okay in this difficult time. The horrible
events of Sept 11 seem to take away what little hope there was for immigration
reform for gay bi-nat couples in the US, I fear. I am rushing my application
thru the British Consulate as Alistair's same -sex partner so I can immigrate
to England with him on his British passport when his student visa runs out in
a few months here in the States. I can't tell you how embarrassing and hurtful
it is - at a time like this - that I can't sponsor Alistair for immigration
in my own country. Makes all these UNITED WE STAND signs feel very hollow, I
am sad to say. A magazine in L.A. just did a big story on the many lesbian and
gay Americans who have already been forced to leave the US to maintain their
relationships with their partners from other countries. Featured in this article
are Leslie Hill & Helen Paris who many of you know as organizers of last
year's Performance Studies Conference at Arizona State University. Here's the
link.

MY NEW BOOK!!!
I am very excited about my new book BODY BLOWS. This is a collection of six of my performances from 1987-2000 that's being published by Univ of Wisconsin Press in 2002. Very excited. Lovely intro by Tony Kushner and I wrote essays on the creation of the six full-evening shows.
OFF TO SCOTLAND!!!
I am looking forward to my Fall tour in the UK very much. The Glasgow shows of GLORY BOX are really engaging the media. Features in every paper up there. I think the content (gay marriage and the immigration stuff) is very on target in UK these days what with the new London partner registry for gay couples, the first in the UK. Glasgow is also the city where Alistair and I courted in 1994 so it's very sweet to go do this show about him up there. Seeya soon!
best, Tim Miller
