Project Concept: A song cycle that takes its inspiration from the lives of flowers.
The work-in-progress is the second phase in the development of the project. The artist will share and perform the work incorporating progress since the public workshop. There is opportunity for the audience to provide feedback during this phase.
Artist Bio: Pascale currently teaches at the University of Pennsylvania and released her most recent album Wildflower in 2015. She joins the program in collaboration with 2015 Guggenheim Fellow and Michigan State University teacher Etienne Charles to create a song cycle that will take its inspiration from the lives of flowers and associated emotions. The project will be under the direction of Ellie Heyman, the Co-Artistic Director of The Orbiting Human Circus, who was part of the 2015-16 Kimmel Center Theater Residency with Joe’s Pub.
