His performance resume includes roles at The Public Theater, Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre, The Connelly, Theatre Row, 92NY, Joe’s Pub, and 54 Below.

He was the voice of Trans Day of Visibility on Nickelodeon, narrated the audiobook of queer YA fantasy novel These Vengeful Gods by Gabe Cole Novoa, and has lent his voice to commercials for Geico, Hot Pockets, Samsung, and more.

Milo’s dance training includes ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary, and tap. He specializes in movement practices that live at the intersection of theatre and dance including Viewpoints, Suzuki, Butoh, and Contact Improvisation. He is known for his impulse-driven movement improvisation work which he applies as an actor to create fully embodied characters, as a choreographer to generate intuitive movement that fluently fulfills aesthetic and storytelling needs, and as a facilitator to inspire performers and students toward the connection between the physical and emotional bodies and awaken their innate compositional and expressive potential.

His facilitation experience includes choreographing The Apple Tree at Pace University’s Sands College of Performing Arts, teaching original workshops like Move/Make (intro to movement research, composition and devising) at IRT Theater, and providing identity-affirming audition coaching for LGBTQIA+ performers.
