As Artist in Residence for the Department of Music’s Music, Race & Social Justice Visiting Artist Series, Miles will present her work Soul of Flowers. Inspired by botanical research and JJ Grandville’s The Flowers Personified (1847), a novel about flowers that turn into humans and exhibit different personality traits based on Victorian floral symbolism, Soul of Flowers presents vignettes of different flowers’ lives that are symbolic of human emotions. Featuring guest appearances from classical music duo Solazur and dancers, Miles will take the audience on a multi-disciplinary journey of mood, color, dance vocabulary, music and poetic text that boldly explores the soul. With movement vocabulary ranging from flamenco to contemporary dance to a soundtrack ranging from flamenco to classical music to R&B, Soul of Flowers is a dynamic work that seeks to celebrate diversity and the human spirit.
