Cost: $25

Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida continues its 2013-2014 Season with the presentation of the popular and fun ballet Doctor Ouch! which is part of a series for the enjoyment of the whole family,

Doctor Ouch! Is a story based on the poems of Korney Chukovsky, a renowned Russian author of children’s poetry, who by his inventiveness and his particular rhymes has been compared to the American author Theodor Seuss Geisel, creator Dr. Seuss and Hugh Lofting creator of the popular Dr. Doolittle.

This ballet, with music by I. Morozov and choreography by Master Vladimir Issaev, artistic director of the company, tells the story of a doctor who cures animals. The adventures begin when he receives the news that the monkeys in Africa are very sick. During his journey, accompanied by several of his animal friends, Dr. Ouch finds tropical birds and exotic species but also evil pirates that make the mission a difficult but quite funny adventure.

Dr. Ouch features dancers Kaori Fukui and Jun Tanabe, Lillian Hill and Hernan Montenegro as the exotic birds. They will be joined by the other 19 professional dancers from the company.

Dr. Ouch’s costumes are designed by Jorge Gallardo. Additionally, in a constant search for innovation, this year Digital Media Design created special visual effects and projections that will replace traditional curtains on stage.

he presentation of Shakti Rising will be held on Saturday, February 15, 2014, at the Little Haiti Cultural Center (212 NE 59th Terrace, Miami, FL) at 7pm. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 the day of the show. Shakti Rising explores the concepts of pregnancy, birth and loss, expressing life at it’s very core through the art of dance, storytelling, music and ritual. The show features an array of dancers who will tell a powerful story through various styles of movement including, bellydance, North African, Afro-Cuban folklore, and modern. Both locally and internationally known artists will be collaborating in this unique project, including Hanan, Harmonic Motion, Marisol Blanco, Sikan Afro-Cuban Dance Project, Sonya Feldman, and Venus Rising. The show is produced and directed by licensed midwife and owner of Bellymama Midwifery, Corina Fitch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1Ch0KG4dls

In addition, Mobile Midwives will host a  panel discussion of exploring health disparities  related to pregnancy and birth. Loss is a stark reality in the United States, where Black mothers and babies are dying at much higher rates than other races. The maternal mortality has climbed for the last three years in a row. Solutions such as breastfeeding, education and access to midwives will be addressed. Panelist include; Jamarah Amani, CO-Director, Mobile Midwife; Yeshimabeit Milner, Community Organizer, Power U Center for Social Change, Barbara Blott, Licensed Midwife and Jarene Fleming, University of Miami, Healthy Start Jasmine Project.

“Maya’s Labyrinth tells a personal, and yet universal story, inviting us to make a shift from the medical model of pregnancy and birth to the personal, from the mundane to the spiritual.   Shakti reminds us that becoming a mother is a rite of passage, a sacred miracle that connects us to a distant primal part of ourselves, and a sisterhood that is as old as time” states Corina Fitch, Shakti Rising, producer.

“Our panel discussion will share some community-based solutions to the high health disparities that our black mothers and babies face” states Jamarah Amani, CO-Director Mobile Midwife.

Shakti Rising celebrates and honors mothers, babies and communities.

Miami Light Project and MDC Live Arts proudly present renowned choreographer Nora Chipaumire. Chipaumire’s performance, Miriam, is a stunning dance tribute to the life of South African singer and freedom fighter Miriam Makeba.

Miriam is conceived, written and choreographed by Chipaumire and directed by Eric Ting.
Chipaumire creates her first character-driven work – a deeply personal dance-theatre performance that looks closely at the internal battles women face between public expectations and private desires, between selflessness and ambition and between the perfection and sacrifice of the feminine ideal. With an original score by six-time Grammy nominee Cuban composer and pianist Omar Sosa, Miriam layers text, sound and images that enrich the mysterious and haunting world of Chipaumire’s creation.

The inspiration for Miriam springs from the cultural and political milieu of Chipaumire’s own South African childhood, the symmetries in her and Makeba’s exiles and her self-discovery as an artist. But Miriam also reverberates with other literary and legendary influences, including the writings of Joseph Conrad and Chenjerai Hove, and the Christian iconography of Mary.

Chipamuire describes the work as “a solo for two people,” the persona embodied by Chipaumire emerging from a pile of rocks onstage to convey-through movement and text-a woman’s struggles with the burden of objectification and the weight of resistance in a world defined largely by men. Her efforts are abetted and haunted by an otherworldly character, both angel and devil, performed by Bronx-born Okwui Okpokwasili. In their interplay, Miriam renders in vivid images the intensity of women who fight to create themselves despite the dual legacies of strict cultural traditions and imperialist racial views that define female beauty and power.

Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida will, once again embark on a journey to the Land of the Sweets, as they perform the traditional annual audience favorite, The Nutcracker. This is the most popular holiday story ever performed in the US. It tells the tale of a young girl, Clara, on Christmas Eve and the adventure she undertakes when her most cherished Christmas present, a nutcracker, comes to life. Together they battle the Mouse King, meet the Queen of Snow and travel to the Land of Sweets, where they encounter the always classic, Sugarplum Fairy.

Company members of Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida are getting ready to this year’s performances of The Nutcracker and are proud to give life to the roles of the Sugarplum Fairy and her cavalier, the Nutcracker Prince, the Marzipan dance, the Snow Queen and all the wonderful characters that light up the eyes of all ages of South Florida audiences during the holiday season.

Vladimir Issaev’s holiday tradition will be presented in three magnificent venues: the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater, the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center and The Parker Playhouse of Fort Lauderdale.

Issaev’s engaging choreography preserves the Russian tradition, with music of P.I. Tchaikovsky, yet serves as an alternative to those who already have seen Balanchine’s version. Every year the production is enhanced, adding special effects like falling snow and a growing Christmas tree, which enchant children and adults, making each year a new experience for returning audiences.

The principal roles in The Nutcracker will be commanded by Arts Ballet’s own delightful international treats – Jun Tanabe, Kaori Fukui, Yukina Yasuhara, Moka Maihara, Hirohito Ikeuchi and Takayuki Asai from Japan, Breeana Flannery from Australia, Lillian Hill of Ft. Lauderdale, Remi Lartigue from France, DeeDee Rosner from North Carolina, Lusian Hernandez from Venezuela, Eileen Pualuan and Hernan Montenegro from Chile with additional dancers from Cuba, Argentina, and Venezuela completing the rest of the cast.

The Opening Gala performance takes place at the Fillmore/Gleason, which celebrate the company’s sixteen years of making holiday magic. For VIP Patrons, the December 8th Gala will begin at 6:30 pm, with cocktails and hors Hors d’oeuvres, a reception with the international corps of dancers, and chances to bid on silent auction items that range from donations from Tiffany’s, to weekend getaways and art pieces, followed by the grand opening performance of the holiday season.

Thanks to our patrons, Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida has been bringing affordable and high quality ballet to South Florida!

Engage in the holiday gift loved ones will always cherish. Don’t miss the opportunity to share the excitement and charm of the great tradition of the holidays with Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida during their extraordinary performances of The Nutcracker.

Nora Chipaumire Miriam
JANUARY 24-25, 2014

With Miriam, renowned choreographer and dancer Nora Chipaumire creates her first character-driven work — a deeply personal dance-theatre performance that looks closely at the tensions women face between public expectations and private desires, between selflessness and ambition, and between the perfection and sacrifice of the feminine ideal. Inspired by South African singer and activist Miriam Makeba with original music by Cuban pianist Omar Sosa, the work layers text, sound and image that enrich the mysterious and haunting world of Chipaumire’s creation.

Tickets & Information: 305.529.5400

A dance-theater performance by New York-based artist Yesenia Selier and her troupe, inspired in the traditions of the female orishas of the Yoruba people of Nigeria, the ancestors of Cuba’s Afro-descendant population. ORISHAS uses dance, music and tradition to reflect on the struggles and circumstances of women today.

Yesenia Selier’s passionate interpretation of Cuban dances is already well-known. She highlights and blends both Iberian and African roots of the island’s varied music and dance repertoire. Born in Havana, Selier holds an MA in Latin American and Caribbean Studies from New York University, and is the recipient of fellowships from CLASCO and the CUNY Caribbean Exchange Program of Hunter College.

She has been recognized for preserving Latino heritage by the "Save Latin America Organization". Her work on Afro Cuban culture, encompassing dance, music and race identity, has been published in her native Cuba, the U.S. and Brazil. In 2011, she founded the Ibiono Cultural Association, with master percussionist Román Díaz, and presently teaches at the Center for African and Diaspora Dance in New York City. This will be ORISHAS premiere performance.

The Cuban Museum and the Koubek Center of Miami Dade College are proud to join efforts in this program, which is part of the series Sweet Home Museo Cubano. The event is funded by an Arts Challenge Grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and a grant from the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs. Additional support is provided by Memorial Plan; the Koubek Center; Bank of America; Centro Cultural Español; ArtesMiami; and individual contributions from Friends of the Cuban Museum.

Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida 2013-2014 Season

Posted on    by

Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida 2013-2014 Season
For more information regarding any of the season’s shows, visit www.artsballettheatre.org , or call (305) 948-4777

Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida, nurtured and grown under the direction of Ballet Master Vladimir Issaev since October of 1997, leaps into its 16th Season starting October 12th, 2013 with Pentimento, and Firebird and ends with their Spring Gala on May 3rd and 4th, 2014. South Florida ballet fans will be treated to a season of mixed styles that will include new works, old works, giant mice, steamy romance, a few weighty collaborations, and a veterinarian in Africa, all presented by Arts Ballet Theatre’s professional corps of 14 dancers!

Pentimento, created by choreographer Vicente Nebrada, includes excerpts from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Four Suites for Orchestra. The ballet is a bold, abstract work that is based on the art form of painting called pentimento. The artist changes his or her mind about the composition of his painting during the process of painting, and then changes it. This ballet applies the same approach to dance: the concept for the dances and costumes change throughout the performance. Using masks, flowing fabric and creative lighting to create a mystical effect, the piece develops through layers of movement, color and light. Adding to mystical effects is original costuming by Cristina Gianinni.

Back by popular demand, the Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida presents Firebird, with Stravinsky’s brilliant score that tells the tale of a magical firebird who helps a heroic prince rescue a beautiful princess. With exuberant dancing, magical special effects, fantastic costumes designed by Jorge Gallardo, new sets by Jim Hammond, and gorgeous backdrops by designer Elena Bondarenko, this magnificent production will enthrall and enchant audiences.

In December, Beginning with a Gala Event on Sunday December 8th at 7:00 pm, the company of the Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida will once again journey to the Land of the Sweets, as they perform the traditional annual audience favorite, The Nutcracker. This holiday ‘chestnut’ depicts the tale of a young girl, Clara, on Christmas Eve and the adventure she undertakes when her most cherished Christmas present, a nutcracker, comes to life. Together they battle the Mouse King, travel to the Land of Sweets, enjoy festivities with delicious international treats, and finally travel home.

Company members of Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida are exceptionally excited about this year’s performances of The Nutcracker and are proud to give life to the roles of the Sugarplum Fairy and her cavalier, the Nutcracker Prince, the Marzipan dance, the Snow Queen and all of the other wonderful characters that light up the eyes of all ages of audiences during the holiday season, to celebrate Arts Ballet Theatre’s sixteen years of bringing affordable and exquisite ballet to South Florida!

For VIP Patrons, the December 8th Gala will begin at 7:00 pm, with tapas and libations, a reception with the international corps of dancers, and chances to bid on silent auction items that range from donations from Tiffany’s, to weekend getaways at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando, followed by the grand opening performance of the holiday season.

In March, Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida will bring back the family favorite Doctor Ouch! Those two words may instill fear in your kids, but actually, they should induce great big smiles – Dr. Ouch is a wonderfully hilarious ballet designed with kids in mind (and what a fun way to sneak a little extra culture into their lives)!

Doctor Ouch! is based on the books by Russian poet, Kornei Chukovsky, and tells the story of a doctor that cures animals. When he’s called to the wilds of Africa to help ill monkeys, he encounters tropical birds, amazing animals and some very mischievous pirates. And the entire story is told in two acts of breathtaking ballet. It’s magical!

With beautiful costumes and fantastical sets, this wonderful production will delight everyone ages 2 to 92.

Touch Me Hear is an experimental multimedia work developed last month at Inkub8 as a part of their generous Artist Residency. It was commissioned by Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center (New York). The opus explores the relationship between touch, sound and movement. Body parts and its extensions such as hair and clothes become performable musical instruments. From skin sensations to complex digital tactile simulations, the piece exposes disappearing awareness between what can be felt and what actually is. A continuum of scenes filled with humor, solitude and emotionally charged movement contemplate the contemporary world of intertwined vibrations and modalities.

www.shapingsoundco.com
Ticket Price: $30-85, Group Rates Available

Shaping Sound, the new, contemporary dance company forged by Emmy-nominated choreographer and “So You Think You Can Dance” superstar, Travis Wall, is bringing its first live national dance tour to Miami this summer with a two-day performance at the Colony Theater in South Beach, Wednesday, June 12th and Thursday, June 13th at 8PM. Travis will be joined by fellow dance industry visionaries, Nick Lazzarini (SYTYCD Season 1 Winner), Teddy Forance, and Kyle Robinson, as they lead a dynamic troupe of contemporary dancers through an explosive performance of movement, speed, physical strength, and pure passion. This is the first time a company has been created by and for contestants from the reality dance competition show.

This is the first time a company has been created by and for contestants from the reality dance competition show. The company includes LA’s finest dancers, who have also been featured on SYTYCD and “Dancing With The Stars” and performed with Adele, Florence & The Machine, Kelly Clarkson, Usher, Eminem, Drake, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Julianne Hough, Macy’s Stars of Dance, the Academy Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and more.

Today, every  major  TV network has a dance reality television show with a unique angle: from contestants competing weekly in front of a live audience, to behind-the-scenes looks at the lives of commercial dancers trying to make the cut, to “celebrities” paired with professionals fox-trotting their way across the stage.

The trend caught on after Fox premiered So You Think You Can Dance in July 2005 and the show reached huge viewership. Travis Wall is responsible for making dance an exciting and accessible art for both dance and non-dance audiences. For that reason, he founded Shaping Sound with his three best friends to create opportunities for contemporary dancers. The creation of Shaping Sound was chronicled on Oxygen’s hit show “All The Right Moves”.

Photographs of Zumbathon to Raise Awareness and Funds for Autism by Mr Q 305

Posted on    by

On Saturday, May 4th more than two hundred parents, community leaders and supporters participated in a ZUMBATHON at the Jorge Mas Canosa Youth Center, the event was organized by the D Amor Foundation to help raise awareness, and funds, for autism. The money raised from the event will go directly to local families in Miami, to fund activities such as taekwondo, soccer, music, art and also speech and occupational therapies for children or others.

The dancing was led by Zumba Jammer Meli Kirkwood who came from California for this event.

The D Amor Foundation was founded by Maria and Jose Montalvo in honor of their son, Diego, who was diagnosed with autism at age 2. The goal is to help families affected by autism in South Florida and Puerto Rico find resources and access to therapies, which can be costly. Here are some images of the event:

Dave Tompkins presents "The Beat and Cheated Death"
shell2Wednesday, May 15, 7:00 – 10:00 pm
Cannonball
1035 N Miami Ave
Miami, FL 33136
Free and Open to the Public

Writer and cultural critic, Dave Tompkins, presents a free, public lecture on the cultural, geological, and political histories of Miami, propagating from Miami Bass: a hip-hop waveform that evolved into a way of life and made the air catch feelings–like low endless love. Based on research for a forthcoming book project Sustained Decay, Tompkins speaks to properties of 808 Bass through a sub-history of ossified invertebrates, man-made beaches, riots, skate rinks, cocaine, coral reefs, sea cucumbers, and a U-boat attack in 1942. This is beat who cheated death—the Bass that torpedoed its regenerative guts into the face of the world.

Tompkins’s illustrated talk will be followed by "sustenance decadence", a music and dance set featuring 12-inch vinyl records and 45s. Groove to bass, disco, electro-soul, and classy grown 80s synth Boogie in Cannonball’s lobby, which houses a site-specific installation by artist Bhakti Baxter.

Dave Tompkins’s first book, How To Wreck A Nice Beach: The Vocoder From World War II To Hip-Hop, which Amazon named entertainment book of the year in 2010, is now available in paperback. He has lectured in Poland, Norway, Germany, and at the NSA’s National Cryptology Symposium.

He has contributed to Slate, Grantland, Paris Review, Oxford American, Grand Royal, and The Wire, where he wrote a hip-hop column for eight years. Born in North Carolina, he currently lives in Brooklyn. For more crosstalk and mixes, go to howtowreckanicebeach.com.

The Peter London Global Dance Company, Miami’s newest multicultural dance troupe, heats up the Carnival Studio Theater with a two-night stint featuring a choreographic sampler of six new works entitled “Spring Nights at the Arsht Center.” London’s choreography has received critical acclaim at AILEY’S Summer SIZZLER at the City Corp Theater in New York, NWSA performances at the Gusman Theater, The Colony Theater, South Miami-Dade Cultural Center and at the International Dance Festival in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

A dance visionary and veteran performer with the Martha Graham and José Limon dance companies, Peter London is now a dance professor at Miami-Dade College / New World School of the Arts and the Founder and Artistic Director of The Peter London Global Dance Company, which he created to establish a home-grown, world-class contemporary dance organization that promotes South Florida’s vibrant arts heritage. Mr. London’s vision was given an invaluable boost when his company received the 2011 Knight Arts Challenge grant award from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and support from The Miami Foundation. “I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to the Arsht Center staff for inviting and hosting my company,” said London. “The dancers are excited about this tremendous opportunity to perform in front of a larger audience in the heart of Miami at one of the most prestigious performing arts centers in the world. The hard work and steadfastness of the PLGDC dancers take us to new heights and we all feel blessed to showcase our talent to new audiences each time,” he continued.

Tickets are only $ 25.00. And that’s a very small gift for a 15 year long relationship! (and did you know that May 12th is Mother’s Day?) For information call 305-948-4777 or visit www.artsballettheatre.org

How do you celebrate fifteen years being together? If you were a married couple, the traditional gift would be crystal. The modern gift would be watches to mark the passage of time. If you gave flowers, they would be the most classic and elegant roses. Of course, precious gems may also come into the equation – Rubies, Rhodolite garnet or Alexandrite. But what gift do you give an entire ballet company to celebrate their 15 years of successful wedded bliss? Absolutely nothing! They’re going to give it to you instead, in the form of a grand Spring Ballet Gala!
 
Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida, under the direction of Ballet Master Vladimir Issaev ends its 15th season with a collection of ballet gifts fitting for a 15th anniversary!.
 
The repertoire includes Flames of Paris (RUBY Red) a classical Pas de deux from the ballet of the same name, with music by Boris Asafyev, based on songs of the French Revolution, and originally choreographed by Vasily Vainonen,
 
Spring Waters (CRYSTAL clear), with choreography by Asaf Messerer and Music by Sergei Rachmaninoff (from his Song for Voice and Piano). A pas de deux that shows athleticism and bravura as it rushes across the stage with a joyful exuberance.
 
El Encuentro (The Encounter – a WATCH would make sure you showed up on time), by Vladimir Issaev, music by Albinoni (Adagio); this piece gave Issaev the award for Best Choreographer in the Choreographer Festival in California.
 
Suite of Waltzes (like a bouquet of ROSES), also by Vladimir Issaev, with music by Venezuelan pianist and composer Teresa Carreno. Six women on stage in a stylistic ballet representing the different characteristics of women: sweetness, passion, anger, love, loneliness, joy. This piece is presented with live accompaniment by pianist Aly Tejas on the stage.
 
Glinka Suite Fantastique, Music by Glinka, and Choreography by Issaev, a piece for three men and six girls, in a very neo–classical style that represents the definitive Issaev.
 
And what 15th Anniversary would be complete without a grand and glorious cake?

Divertissements of Le Corsaire!

With the exceptional dancers that Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida has in their stable at the time of the anniversary, they could not let pass the opportunity to offer another exceptional gift to their long loyal public: excerpts from Le Corsaire showcasing the beautiful Pas D’Esclave, Pas de Trois, Adagio of the Rose (and other variations), from this beautiful and classical ballet. With music by Riccardo Drigo and choreography by Agrippina Vaganova and Vakhtang Chabukiani, like a long-standing happy marriage, they preserve the splendor of the Russian classical ballets.

These pieces will be performed by the professional dancers of the Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida company. Kaori Fukui, Jun Tanabe, Takayukia Asai, Breeana Flannery and Hector Montenegro will perform the main roles.

Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida receives funding from Miami Dade County Dept. of Cultural Affairs, Broward County Cultural Division, Florida Division of Cultural Affairs, Miami Salon Group, Funding Arts Broward, Citizens Interested in Arts, Target and Marlin Foundation, The Miami Childrens Trust to support a professional season of performances.

Two stunning works by this internationally renowned company from Montreal – Henri Michaux: Mouvements and Etude for Duets. Henri Michaux: Mouvements includes 64 stage-height pages of India-ink drawings by Belgian painter and poet Henri Michaux. Inspired by Michaux’s “feast of bursting lines, spots and kaleidoscopic arms,” Chouinard used them as a choreographic score reading them literally, from left to right and page to page. Works by Marie Chouinard portray dance as a sacred art with respect for the body as a vehicle for that art, a virtuoso approach to performance and the invention of a different universe for each new piece.

MIAMI SHORES, February 18, 2013 — Miami Theater Center is delighted to announce the upcoming performances of Miami native Pioneer Winter’s world-premiere reinterpretation of the “one-man show,” Pie Solo. Performances, which are part of Miami Theater Center’s SandBox Series, take place on Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, March 15 through March 30 at MTC’s SandBox space, located at 9816 NE 2nd Avenue. Tickets are $20 and group rates are available. To purchase, call 305-751-9550 or visit www.mtcmiami.org.

Pioneer Winter calls his multimedia work Pie Solo a “quarter-life” interpretation of the classic one-man show, to which he added an updated, personal touch to engage a contemporary mature audience. “While in traditional one-man shows, the performer regales the audience with humorous anecdotes, snappy dance routines, and music, my take is slightly darker and sexual, although there are funny moments,” said Winter. “In Pie Solo, I combine anecdotes, tap and contemporary dance, and music to illustrate the story of a young performer who straddles the line between exhaustion and exhilaration.”

The work stretches definitions and perceptions, reexamining faith in religion and culture from the vantage points of sexuality, age and queerness. It draws the audience into an intimate and interactive dialogue blending humor, isolation and anecdote. A fantasy-like film sequence anchors the work, allowing Winter to explore the interplay of reality and fantasy through simultaneous projected media and live performance. “The way I use projections in the work allows me to play with the sense of reality and fantasy, that idea of multiplicity,” said Winter. Other elements of the performance include tap dancing and stripping. The performance contains adult language and nudity.

# # #

Pie Solo runs March 15, 2013 through March 30, 2013 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm. All performances are at Miami Theater Center’s SandBox, located at 9816 NE 2nd Ave, Miami Shores, FL 33138. Tickets are $20 and group rates are available. Call 305-751-9550 or visit www.mtcmiami.org to purchase tickets. Please be advised: this performance contains nudity and adult language.

Chris and Steve Martinez were both still teenagers when they first seized the attention of the house music scene. And while their age may still be a sticking point for the lazier observers out there they’ve long since established themselves beyond their headline grabbing backstory. The Martinez Brothers are now a full-fledged force, enjoying one of the busiest touring schedules on the international circuit (from Australia to Zurich, and including a residency during Ibiza’s much famed “season”), while still developing their striking brand of club-ready house music. The brothers have blazed a personal party style based on no specific style at all. As a rule of thumb, expect the unexpected… which is the appeal of a TMB party. No two sets will ever be the same, and the boys pride themselves on not limiting their sound… or their audience.

In 2004, Miguel Migs started his own Salted Music imprint. No stranger to independent and major labels, the founding of Salted Music was a more personal venture. The idea behind Salted is for Miguel to have a creative outlet for releasing forward thinking; soul based electronic music that is not limited in tempo. Not just instituted for Migs’ own creations, Salted is a vehicle for upcoming and well-known artists who come across his path and catch his ear. With a clear, and fresh, approach to new music it is easy to understand the exponential growth of the Salted Music brand of parties and music label.

Rising to worldwide prominence out of the fertile Orlando Florida electronic music scene, Icey cut his teeth at the legendary EDGE nightclub, and even persuaded The Chemical Brothers to play their first show Stateside there.
Playing 100+ gigs per year, Icey is a touring maniac. But that doesn’t keep him out of the studio during the week working on new tracks for his indie imprint, Zone Records. He is constantly trying to push the envelope to make his fans sweat on the dance floor. Icey’s live DJ shows are legendary and always include massive amounts of originals, remixes and re-rubs that are exclusive to his sets. For this very reason fans flock to his performances knowing that they will hear their favorite break tracks re-worked in a new Icey way.

Bodies emerge, float, and then disappear into the shadows of a dimly lit architecture. In (glowing), Kota Yamazaki draws inspiration from the great modern writer Jun’ichirō Tanizaki’s (1886-1965) essay In’ei Raisan (In Praise of Shadows), which plumbs the unique Japanese aesthetics of shadows and darkness. In this subtle and powerful work for six dancers, with a set made following principles found in the traditional Japanese house, Yamazaki draws on his own deep background in butoh, a dance form developed in Japan after WWII that embraces darkness, and connects it with traditional African dance and contemporary movement to mine the inherent similarities between these forms. Dancers from Senegal and Ethiopia join Japanese butoh dancers and US contemporary performers to create a scenario in which lightless vision ignites the imagination, conjuring illusion and upturning the ordinary between the shadows.

Ayikodans premiered at the Arsht Center after the Center’s President & CEO John Richard, alongside prominent community leaders, joined forces to save the dance troupe following the devastation of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Since then, the stunning ensemble, based out of Port Au Prince, has received glowing international media attention. Most notably, founder/artistic director Jeanguy Saintus was invited by Lincoln Center to stage a piece for its prestigious Out of Doors festival, a performance which earned Saintus high praise from The New York Times.

In a triumphant celebration of its 25th Anniversary season, Ayikodans – including the full company of dancers, drummers, and vocalists – returns to their Miami family and the Arsht Center with an all-new program for Miami audiences.

“We are grateful to The Miami Foundation for investing in Project L.E.A.P. and our mission of promoting the performing arts as a means of community engagement,” saysPioneer Winter, director of Project L.E.A.P.“This generous grant allows us to offer free classes in dance and creative communication to kids who may not otherwise have the opportunity to cultivate their talent in the arts. The project also aims to instill confidence by providing a performance opportunity and a platform for self-expression.”

These opportunities are important to Miami-Dade’s youth because there are few programs as comprehensive as Project L.E.A.P. in Florida. Key features of Project L.E.A.P. include:

• Access to local cultural and performance venues to compliment their Project L.E.A.P. sessions.
• GLBTQ-identifying youth will be able to work closely with their peers, developing their own unique methods of performance to draw connections and relate to one another.
• Visiting speaking artists will serve as mentors throughout the project, in conjunction with the main teaching artists. These speakers will provide the participants with anecdotes and their experience as socially conscious artists.
• Participants will have open discussions to generate ideas and knowledge pertaining to different topics important to youth, whether it is health, identity, community, etc.
• Project LEAP will work closely with local GLBTQ youth advocate organizations like Pridelines Youth Services and high school Gay-Straight Alliances to ensure the program benefits its participants.

“This project is aligned with the priorities of The Miami Foundation,” said President and CEO Javier Alberto Soto of The Miami Foundation. “The charitable resources that donors provide allow us to address emerging needs and invest in programs such as Project L.E.A.P.that nurture the artistic and social development of our youth, thereby creating conscientious citizens and lifelong supporters of the arts.”

Havana Fusion Underground at PAX by Bob Quesada

Posted on    by

The sound is flawless. The melody emanating from the twelve musicians known as: Charanga Tipica Tropical is as good as good will ever get. This is a cohesiveness which can only be achieved after nearly forty years of playing together. It is the fusion that we know as “salsa”, being played the way it was meant to be played; with violins, flute, piano, trombones, bass, and of course: percussion, plenty of percussion.

On the dance floor some of the best dancers anywhere are going all out. Now, this is not the watered down stuff that you see on some tv shows, nobody here is dancing for ratings, they are dancing for the sheer enjoyment of moving their bodies to the rhythm of the music, and the moves are simply amazing. The dance floor is big enough to accommodate pros and amateurs alike, everybody has a smile on their face.

“Havana Fusion Underground” is the brainchild of Rene Gueits, a salsa dancing master himself and owner of “Salsa Lovers”, Miami’s premier salsa dancing school (98,000 students so far…and counting). Gueits has brought together the band, cigar rollers, a dance art exhibit, a dance showcase by the salsa lovers student team and even a latin food truck to make this an unforgettable event in what could easily be described as the most eclectic place to party.

We are at the Performing Arts Exchange or “PAX”, a venue preferred by some of the best known international artists such as Ricardo Arjona, Chino y Nacho and Gaby Moreno just to name a few. There’s reason for these artists to want to perform here. Roxanne Scalia, one of the founders explains it this way: “PAX is about finding the authenticity in art…everything we book at PAX is very scrutinized…we are an independent performing arts center…we focus on latin and world music …we have over 740 yards of acoustic sound” she adds: “My whole intention of opening this place is I want every customer to walk out with something more… when you give good art, you walk out that much smarter”.

Alcazaba Pre Thanksgiving Party by Bob Quesada

Posted on    by

They are dancing everywhere, in the hotel lobby, in the courtyard, in the restaurant bar, in the halls and of course on the dance floor which is “cheek to cheek” room only. The party, which is known as “The Alcazaba Pre-Thanksgiving Reunion” packs about two thousand people in the Hyatt Regency Coral Gables Hotel on the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving.

The crowd is enjoying disco, freestyle and latin music, DJ Alex Gutierrez is in control, every flawlessly matched mix brings a roar of approval from the forty to fifty something crowd which has waited a whole year for this. With the number of year round clubs that litter the landscape, one wonders: Why wait? Why this place?. As Gutierrez puts it: “…they get the sound of Miami here…Alcazaba has never changed…these people met the people they married here…they divorced because they would escape here on happy hour…this is built into the fabric of their life…”

Alcazaba opened in 1988 it stayed open for twenty one years. That longevity is almost unheard of for a club. The biggest night of the year for the club was always the night before Thanksgiving.

After closing in 2009 a funny thing happened… the patrons refused to let go. Slowly… via word of mouth and of course… social media, they demanded to have a party just like they had had every year for the past twenty one years, on the Wednesday night… before Thanksgiving. Hotel management complied and the rest, as they say, is history.

The party has now become a tradition, “This is the Cuban St. Patrick’s” says Gutierrez laughing, and to judge by the heavy hitters he’s got on the dj roster: Frank Banderas, Kiwi Mario and Mike in the Night, he is determined to make this the hottest spot south of Dublin. Even Billboard songwriter of the year Lewis Martinee drops by and mixes a couple of tunes to the crowd’s delight.

As the night progresses, Mike in the Night’s unique voice announces: “Ladies and gentlemen…we are going to be doing this once a month”…the crowd goes wild…the wait’s been reduced…from 364 to 29 days…

Contradance is a style of American, partnered folk dancing that originated in New England and is now found around the world. At most dances, a live band plays traditional songs and a caller leads participants through the dances. There’s no need to bring a partner as most folks come singly but couples and families are welcome. Contradance is easy to learn, there’s instruction about 30 minutes before every dance, it’s flirtatious, high-paced, energetic and active – come ready to get a workout. Most folks will be a little confused at first but they learn quickly and have fun from the beginning.

Music at this dance is by a great Contradance band Southern Atlantic Muse.

Beginning with a Gala Event, the company of the Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida will once again journey to the Land of the Sweets, as they perform the traditional annual audience favorite, The Nutcracker.  This holiday ‘chestnut’ depicts the tale of a young girl, Clara, on Christmas Eve and the adventure she undertakes when her most cherished Christmas present, a nutcracker, comes to life. Together they battle the Mouse King, travel to the Land of Sweets , enjoy festivities with delicious international treats, and finally travel home.
 
Company members of Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida are exceptionally excited about this year’s performances of The Nutcracker and are proud to give life to the roles of the Sugarplum Fairy and her cavalier, the Nutcracker Prince, the Marzipan dance, the Snow Queen and all of the other wonderful characters that light up the eyes of all ages of audiences during the holiday season, to celebrate Arts Ballet Theatre’s fifteen years of bringing affordable and exquisite ballet to South Florida!
 
There will be three venues showcasing the critically acclaimed performances of Vladimir Issaev’s holiday tradition – the stages of the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater, the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center and The Parker Playhouse of Fort Lauderdale. The company is most excited about the opening gala celebration performance at the Fillmore/Gleason, which will truly celebrate the company’s fifteen years of making holiday magic. For VIP Patrons, the December 9th Gala will begin at 6:00 pm, with tapas and libations, a reception with the international corps of dancers, and chances to bid on silent auction items that range from donations from Tiffany’s, to weekend getaways at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando, followed by the grand opening performance of the holiday season.
 
The principal roles in The Nutcracker will be commanded by Arts Ballet’s own delicious international treats – Jun Tanabe, Kaori Fukui and Miu Yamauhi and Takayuki Asai from Japan, Breeana Flannery from Australia, Lillian Hill of Ft. Lauderdale, Kelvin Rabines from Peru, DeeDee Rosner from North Carolina, and Hernan Montenegro from Chile with additional dancers from Japan, Cuba, France, Venezuela and Chile completing the rest of the cast.
 
Issaev’s engaging choreography preserves the Russian tradition, with music of P.I. Tchaikovsky, yet serves as an alternative to those who already have seen Balanchine’s version and every year the production is enhanced, adding special effects like falling snow and a growing Christmas tree, which enchant children and adults, making each year a ‘new’ experience for returning audiences.
 
Engage in the holiday gift loved ones will always cherish. Don’t miss the opportunity to share the excitement and charm of the great tradition of the holidays with Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida during their extraordinary performances of "The Nutcracker."

Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida receives funding from Miami Dade County Dept. of Cultural Affairs, Broward County Cultural Division, Florida Division of Cultural Affairs, Miami Salon Group, Funding Arts Broward, Citizens Interested in Arts, Target and Marlin Foundation, The Miami Childrens Trust to support a professional season of performances and community outreach events in Miami-Dade County for the 2012-2013 season.

Webpage Link

The chic affair draws upon the artistic talents of Haute Couture Fashion Designer Ozcar G., Photographer Yobe Crespo, and Fine Artist Leonor Anthony, featuring a SILENT AUCTION of exclusive, one-of-a-kind items, designed and handcrafted by the evening’s showcased artists:

An original Ozcar G. couture evening gown
Five pairs of pointe shoes belonging to the ballet’s principal dancers, hand-embellished and decorated by Ozcar G., himself
Five enlarged, original, autographed photographs of Miami City Ballet’s leading ladies modeling Ozcar G.s’ designs, by Yobe Photography
Original fine art work by Leonor Anthony
Handcrafted Shiroiy D. Cama White Sapphire Earings

MIAMI, FL (October 1, 2012) – At the forefront for the 2012-2013 season open of the Miami City Ballet, Haute Couture Designer Ozcar G., Fine Art Photographer Yobe and Painter Leonor Anthony fused arts to create a fundraiser towards the Shoe Fund of the Miami City Ballet via Project Pointe. This collaborative effort between fashion designer, fine art photographer, and painter produced a final outcome to be exhibited and auctioned during the opening night. Project Pointe was imagined by Jennifer Carlynn Kronenberg, in order to raise funds towards the costly toe shoes worn by ballerinas, pointe shoes last for one performance only, and the Miami City Ballet dancers go through more than 3,000 pairs per season with an average cost of $70 per pair. A one-night-only event is planned for Friday, October 19, 2012 in the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts – Peacock Rehearsal Room as part of the Artist’s Circle VIP Reception. The auction will be open to the general audience attending the performance that night. Participants of the auction will be invited to the Artist’s Circle Dessert Reception post production, where the winners will be announced.

The exhibit will feature a one-of-a-kind gown by designer Ozcar G. worn by principal dancer Jennifer Carlynn Kronenberg, which will be auctioned that night. Alongside the dress there will be five one-of-a-kind pointe shoes beautifully embellished by designer Ozcar G.— these toe shoes have been previously worn by the principal dancers for the 2012-2013 season (Tricia Albertson, Mary Carmen Catoya, Jeanette Delgado, and Patricia Delgado). “Every gown I make has a story and this particular one is very dear to me and I want the Miami City Ballet and one very lucky lady to take it home and at the same time benefit this magnificent cause” said Ozcar G. when presenting this gown for the auction.

As an integral part of the auction, Yobe, the photographer, contributed five photographic master pieces and these pieces will be on exhibit during the reception prior to program one, during the intermissions and post production. The photographs showcase the five principal dancers wearing five unique gowns by Ozcar G. and which are face mounted using a contemporary and unique way onto acrylic. These fine art photographs also transpired into a limited edition Poster designed by Yobe, which will be exhibited and presented to the patrons of the Miami City Ballet whom offer donations above $100 towards Project Pointe. “Each of the ballerinas gave their very best to Project Pointe and the collaborative effort created a synergy which in turn became this amazing work of art and ultimately will benefit the Miami City Ballet.” expressed photographer Yobe.

In addition to the other auction items,Expressionist artist Leonor Anthony has contributed an original oil on canvas masterpiece executed in her signature style and created specifically for the Miami City Ballet.This painting depicts ballerina pointe shoes painted on a large format ( 36” X 48”) and aptly named “In Her Shoes”. Leonor explains what inspired her: “I chose to paint this particular image because the shoes are the vehicle that enables the dancer to show us their craft. I wanted to express the wear and tear on the feet, as well as the shoes.For me, this painting represents a love of beauty, a love of dance.” Leonor’s piece contributes greatly towards the ultimate goal of Project Pointe. This exhibit moves seamlessly between haute couture, paintings and fine art photography. All of the pieces explore rich textures and vibrant colors.

This entire body of work is heavily influenced by the classical rhythms and imagery of the Ballet, executed by masters of their trade with one single purpose in mind: to support the Miami City Ballet and their Shoe Fund. The entire auction could help raise close to $100,000 for Project Pointe. For those wishing to attend the opening night of program one of the Miami City Ballet, please, visit www.miamicityballet.org for more information.

An Exotic Pop-Culture Infused Cabaret

The Pleasure Garden, a one of a kind entertainment experience, is arriving at the gateway to the Miami Design District on November 15. A contemporary throwback to the “pleasure gardens” of the 19th century, this hypnotic destination will fuse design, high-fashion, performance art, music and imaginative culinary creations. At the heart of The Pleasure Garden is ORCHID, a seductive experience which mixes song, dance, burlesque, aerial acrobatics and variety arts.
 
ORCHID opens in an enchanting garden populated with strange and erotic creatures such as Poison Ivy, Honeysuckle Rose, Lily and the Bee Keeper. Orchid, the perfect and beautiful creation of a reclusive and melancholic Master Gardener, searches for happiness through worlds that are intoxicated by her beauty, mystery and sensuality. The audience becomes immersed into a fantasy that ignites all of the senses. 
 
Director William Baker, who has worked with the likes of Rihanna, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue, helms this exotic and unforgettable journey through Orchid’s Garden of Eden and through scenic representations of city nightlife, convents and swank gymnasiums.  Propelled by imaginative mash ups from some of the greatest popular music artists of the day, the show blooms inside an intimate, antiqued “mirror-tent”- an elegant in-the-round performance space adorned with stained glass, red velvet and chandeliers. Part Moulin Rouge and part Cabaret, ORCHID is a spectacularly lush live entertainment experience that will indulge your senses, alter your reality and take you to unexpected places.
“We are delighted to debut ORCHID in the cultural epicenter of Miami’s Design District,” said Martin LaSalle, President of Pleasure Garden Entertainment.  “We have brought together leading creative talent in the worlds of pop culture, theater and circus to give our audiences an unprecedented entertainment experience.  We are excited to announce more details about the rest of The Pleasure Garden over the coming weeks.”

Pleasure Garden Entertainment, LLC is a new venture that creates pop-up entertainment installations on underused and/or available real estate.  Contemporary throwbacks to the “pleasure gardens” of the 19th century, and conceived as public dreamlands, these installations include full-scale theatrical venues, restaurant spaces, outdoor eating and gathering areas, music, walk-around entertainment and innovative design elements.

Haiti’s Compagnie de Danse, Jean Rene Delsoin 10/20/12

Posted on    by

Haiti’s Compagnie de Danse, Jean Rene Delsoin
October 20, 2012, 8:00pm
South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center
10950 SW 211 Street
Miami, Fl 33189
www.smdcac.org
 
Compagnie de Danse, Haiti’s acclaimed dance company under the direction of Jean René Delsoin, performs choreography that captures Haiti now—raw and refined, spiritual and powerful. Bold swaths of color alternate with somber, focused intensity. The earthy, expressive voices of traditional drums interweave with the precise grace of classical ballet. Modern dance aesthetics and a deep love of popular moves meet beats that migrated from West Africa to Haiti.
 
This performance is funded, in part, by a grant from SouthArts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.

MDC Live Arts presents Nuevo Ballet Español in Cambio de Tercio
mdgsys-09-12-12Friday and Saturday, October 5-6, at 8 p.m.
Miami-Dade County Auditorium
2901 West Flagler Street
Miami, FL
www.mdclivearts.org

At the forefront of emerging trends in Spanish dance and flamenco, Nuevo Ballet Español draws on traditional dance, a 21st century pop sensibility and folkloric influences from Andalucía. In their new show, Cambio de Tercio, Angel Rojas and Carlos Rodríguez, two of Spain’s most influential choreographers, deliver a dazzling mix of traditional and contemporary styles, performed by the full company of dancers and musicians in an exciting opening to MDC Live Arts’ 22nd season.

Rojas and Rodríguez also explore the idea of transformation: from the street to the stage, from today to yesterday, from Spanish dance to flamenco music. As the British newspaper Metro states it "Rojas and Rodríguez put a fresh spin on flamenco that taps into passions both old and new."

Dance Till You Drop Charity Event 8/17/12

Posted on    by

Dance Till You Drop Charity Event
Friday August 17th, 2012, 9pm – 5am
Body & Soul
3183 SW 38 Court
Miami, Florida 33146

How to Register: Registration may be done in person at Body & Soul or by phone 305-441-BFIT. Once registered, individuals will receive pledge forms to assist one’s efforts in recruiting sponsors to donate dollars for every hour danced.

Registration Guidelines: One may choose to register as an individual or in teams of 4. Individuals pledge to dance the 8 hours with four – 15 minute breaks permitted throughout the night. Teams pledge to dance the full 8 hours with 4 individual breaks but with no less than 50% of the team dancing at all times.

Cost: Registration is $25 for Body & Soul members or $35 for non-members. If participants would like to invite friends and family to come and watch, the cost is $35 per person. Participants are encouraged to raise money via sponsorships. A portion of registration fees and 100% of money raised by individual pledges will go to the two selected charities.

South Florida’s state-of-the-art boutique gym is hosting an 8-hour-dance-a-thon benefiting Guardian Angels of Holtz Children’s Hospital and Art Studio Miami

To help raise money for Guardian Angels of Holtz Children’s Hospital and Art Studio Miami, and burn some calories while doing it, Body & Soul, the recently renovated world-class fitness facility in Coral Gables, invites members of the community to shimmy and waltz their hearts out at the first annual Dance Till You Drop event. The 10,000 square foot gym, with its two large dance studios fully outfitted with nightclub-style lighting and a disco ball, has all the amenities to ensure participants are constantly on their feet and shaking their hips throughout the entire 8-hour event. If the environment itself is not enough, local-favorite DJ Rascal will be spinning live and Body & Soul’s beloved dance instructors will be on-hand to keep up the energy. Aside from the four 15-minute breaks granted throughout the evening, participants must be standing and moving their feet to the music to be considered dancing. Complimentary food, refreshments, including Red Bull, and cocktails by Zignum Mezcal and Voli light vodkas as well as Heineken beer will be available for the duration of the event.

While everyone is encouraged to participate in the actual dance-a-thon, it is not a requirement. Dance Till You Drop is intended to be a big party. Spectators who pay the $35 will have access to unlimited drinks, can dance if/when they want to and are welcome to simply enjoy the scene and support the dancers – all for a great cause.

And what’s a dance extravaganza without some grand prizes? At the end of the evening, Body & Soul will be naming winners in the below categories:

· The greatest individual and team fundraisers.
· The Dance Olympian (the person and team who danced the longest, clocking the least amount of break time).
· Individual and Team Spirit awards given to the individual and team that showed the greatest spirit.
· Best Individual and Team Outfits.

Pablo Croce Productions Presents SIUDY Between Worlds at The Adrienne Arsht Center 6/23-24/12

Posted on    by

Pablo Croce Productions Presents “SIUDY Between Worlds”
Saturday, June 23rd at 8:00pm and on Sunday, June 24th at 2:00pm and 6:00pm
The Adrienne Arsht Center
1300 Biscayne Boulevard
Miami, FL 33132

Tickets are available at www.arshtcenter.org or by calling 305.949.6722.

Pablo Croce Productions, a Miami-based award winning dance theater and screen production company, has announced the homecoming of the highly acclaimed SIUDY Between Worlds Entre Mundos, taking place at the Adrienne Arsht Center For The Performing Arts in Miami, on June 23rd and June 24th.

Following an impressive 50-show stretch of shows off Broadway in New York City last year, the mesmerizing dance theater spectacle returns to South Florida and its home town of Miami for three shows over two days at the Adrienne Arsht Center’s prestigious Knight Concert Hall. Co-created in 2009 by award-winning executive producer and artistic director, Pablo Croce, the progressive and contemporary fusion of traditional Flamenco with multiple urban dance forms, features a lead performance by the show’s other founder and talented choreographer, Siudy Garrido, a 2011 nominee for the Drama Desk Award in outstanding choreography.

“We are thrilled to bring our show back to Miami,” says executive producer, Pablo Croce. “The city is our home, and will continue to be an inspiration for the show. Since developing Between Worlds three years ago in Caracas, Venezuela, the show has matured significantly and has grown along with the essential artistic elements and disciplines introduced to the performance by Siudy Garrido. We received rave reviews during our run in New York and we are pleased to bring our world-class show back to South Florida for a presentation that will appeal to every family, music and dance theater enthusiast.”

A cast of 25 performers will take to the stage for Siudy Between Worlds, manifesting the primeval and futuristic vision of Pablo Croce and the choreographic excellence of Siudy Garrido. The show brings to life an unforgettable love story, told through the universal language of percussion and dance that is set in a futuristic world. In the wake of a catastrophic and climatic apocalypse, humankind grasps desperately to its existence, forcing the survival of small, segregated tribes. In a world without rain – lakes, rivers and seas are evaporating and tensions rise between the remaining tribes that are on the brink of war, leading humanity into a desperate struggle for survival. Confrontation prevails, with tribes competing for water – as the most important resource for life – in a world in which lawlessness is abundant.
From the moment the curtains are raised, Siudy makes a dramatic entrance, commanding the stage with her presence in a perilous landscape that provides the perfect juxtaposition between the art of melodic Flamenco and an aggressive hybrid of urban dance.

Bringing to Miami its largest production to-date, Siudy Between Worlds is a cross-discipline dance theater performance spectacle that integrates one-of-a-kind, progressive, Flamenco choreography using a sampling of live urban and afro percussion. Traditional instruments from across the globe are organically weaved into street beats and beatboxing, among other musical influences. Breakdance, hip-hop and funk dance troops fuse their movements in a portrayal of a struggle for survival. Award-winning Flamenco composer, Sevillian Diego Franco, scores the original music for Siudy Between Worlds.

Each tribe represents a core artistic talent that is carefully revealed throughout the intensity of the storyline. As a desperate world continues to unfold, the audience experiences the true extent of this spectacular, world-class performance, intricately weaved into an unforgettable and climactic ending.

Executive producer, Pablo Croce, interprets the performance as “Shakespearean,” but simplistic in its outlook on drama. He describes both ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ together with ‘West Side Story’ as prominent influences on the theme of prohibited love that is a common thread throughout the tale. While presenting an internationally luminous cast of performers on-stage, Siudy Between Worlds Entre Mundos will be an uncensored showcase of Siudy’s finest work.

“Disco Donkey,” the official mascot of the Adrienne Arsht Center’s upcoming summer spectacle – The Donkey Show. He’s a lean, mean disco-fabulous machine.

Follow him on Twitter: @DiscoDonkeyMIA

A 15-foot, afro-wearing pink donkey blasting disco-era favorites will strut down South Miami Avenue surprising Mary Brickell Village locals and lunch goers with a glittering sneak peek of the smash hit, The Donkey Show!

Attired in all their theatrical disco finery, performers will leap off “Disco Donkey” and light up Mary Brickell Village with a performance inspired by the hedonistic Studio 54 days, the epic shrine to disco, where lovers of the nightlife would release their inhibitions on the dance floor.

This will mark the public unveiling of the “Disco Donkey,” which will then travel around Miami throughout the summer, giving unsuspecting residents a memorable taste of The Donkey Show.

The Donkey Show is a spectacular pop-up club that blends a crazy circus of disco music hits, go-go dancers, roller skaters, feathered divas and a full active bar — ultimately becoming Miami’s most outrageous party extravaganza! The show, inspired by William Shakespeare’s classic comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, will open on July 13 for a limited engagement on the Adrienne Arsht Center’s Ziff Ballet Opera House stage, which will be transformed into a mirror ball dance floor for guests to live their own fabulous disco fantasy.

Kizomba is one of the most popular styles of dance and music in the lusophone African countries. Sung in Portuguese or Portuguese creole, it is a genre of music with a romantic flow mixed with African rhythm. The kizomba dancing style is also known to be very sensual.

Kizomba is native to Angola, with influences from other Lusophone countries and French Caribbean Zouk. It is also performed in other lusophone African countries and Portugal. It is known for having a slow, insistent, somewhat harsh, yet sensuous rhythm, and is considered to be a fusion of semba (a predecessor of samba) with other musical styles, namely Zouk. It is ideally danced accompanied by a partner, very smoothly and slowly, though not too tightly.

In 2005 Jimena Fama, an extremely talented vocalist, musician, composer and producer journeyed to her native country, Argentina to explore her musical roots and to capture the heart and soul of Tango. Understanding that both tango and dub had a subdued and deep sound, she decided to combine the genres. The result would be Electro Dub Tango, with a brilliant collaboration of renowned Tango musicians released in October 2005. The first branded album of a collection produced by MaktubRecords for Graziano’s Group.

With overwhelming response and popular demand, this project gave birth to her band…“Tango Conspiracy”. A talented plot of Miami and New York based musicians including Jimena Fama (Composer/Producer/Vocals/ Dj set / Guitar), Leo Barbosa / Juan Pablo Jofre Romarion (Bandoneon), Anibal Berraute / Maurizio Najt (Pianist), Jorge Carlos Oviedo (Violinist), Cedric Munch (Bassists) and Christopher Whitman (VJ) . Tango Conspiracy sets out to explore the deepest realms of this Argentinean folklore music by enhancing its subdued and intense mood with electronic dub undertones.

In January, 2007 Jimena wrote, produced and released the second album of Electro Dub Tango Collection. Electro Dub Tango meets Bossa Nova. A total inovative creation. It continues the trip to Buenos Aires making some stops in Rio. It’s Funk, it’s Lounge, it’s Tango, it’s Dub and it’s Bossa Nova.

Electro Dub Tango meets Europe is the third release! (2009). Mixing the Electro Dub Tango sound with old and new European influences was born this cool piece for the collection.

June 2010 World Cup Times …Fama’s conspiration and another album for the Electro Dub Tango Collection.

Tango and Fútbol (soccer), pop culture, unbridled passion. From the deepest beat of the Argentine heart, moving people, touching lives.

“Electro Dub Tango meets the World”, celebrates the euphoria of the new edition of the World Cup 2010, with subtle influences of the world of soccer and its African context.

Prepare to experience this unique and innovative sound!!

The Soul Project tour is winning raves from audiences all over the US; one colleague shared with us this email he received from one of his audience members: “Thanking you for bringing these great events to Milwaukee … I’m not sure how many ways to say ‘that was amazing’ ‘that was the best thing I’ve ever seen’ ‘that was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.’ Truly, my entire family enjoyed the hell out of Zambrano and we talked about it all weekend long. I wrote on Twitter today that I’m quitting my job and joining his dance company.”

The performance brings to life the potency of the work through the art of movement and will not only resonate with the art, but also reflect architecture of the museum, enhancing the experience of the audience by drawing attention to unique elements of the museum.

Past year’s presentations were met with critical and public acclaim and the event packed audiences into spaces throughout the museum and its beautiful grounds. “…a visually surprising embodiment of the artist’s struggle to bring an idea into form….“ (Annie Hollingsworth, Artburst Miami). “The marriage of the performance pieces with the installations created such an intense symbiosis of visual and physical texture that you could have easily believed the curator always had it in mind to present the artwork with the dancers. ”(Miguel Estefan, Miami Art Guide). Each performance will include three separate and complete dance works, migrating through the museum, and will run approximately 60 minutes. This special event is not to be missed!
