SOLOS
Sometimes Wisdo
m is Madness
Commissioned by the Morris Museum of Art, Augusta, GA to accompany
the touring exhibit of the work of Zelda Fitzgerald.
This ten minute solo takes its inspiration from the art work and
wrtings of Zelda Fitzgerald, In Miller's true style - the character
of Zelda is left alone, but rather the piece is an opportunity
to reflect on what happens to a woman in relationship to her time
and her creativity.
The Annunciation.... sort of
Mary says no, and Gabriel tries to cope.
Multi Medea Idea
The Medea myth turned upside down and inside out. Performance
sites include: New Vaudeville Festival 200 LaMama, ETC, NYC; Dance
Place, Washington, DC
The Cranky Angel
"Miller's 'Cranky Angel' retells the biblical tale of Jacob's battle
with the angel, with a twist. Through both words and an elaborately
crafted language of hand and arm gestures, body tremors, undulations
and sudden staccato kicks, Miller magnifies the transformative
potential of a new viewpoint on a trusted, perhaps rusty, subject."
Washington Post, January 2003. Original Score by Normando Ismay
