After an incredible season on June, 2016 and the participation at The International Young Dancers Festival in Indonesia, Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida prepares its new 2017 season with amazing programs showcasing the very best of international ballet.
In celebration of the 125th anniversary of the master composer Sergei Prokofiev, the Art Ballet Theatre of Florida, presents excerpts from the acclaimed classical ballet pieces, Stone Flower, Cinderella, Romeo & Juliet, plus the world premiere of a piece inspired by Prokofiev’s first symphony, choreographed by Vladimir Issaev, Artistic Director of the company.
Cinderella, is Prokofiev’s most descriptive, melodious and beautiful composition. This ballet piece was first premiered by the Bolshoi Ballet in 1945 with choreography by Rostislav Zkharov. But this time south Floridians will have the privilege to experience of our talented Vladimir Issaev who promises create a short suite, alongside other great classical ballet pieces of the great Russian composer.
Stone Flower is Sergei Prokofiev’s eighth and last ballet, written between 1948 and 1953. It is based on the Russian Ural folk tale of the same name The Story of the Stone Flower by Pavel Bazhov and is also the last of the trilogy of ballets Prokofiev wrote in the Russian ballet tradition, a mixture of real-life scenes and fantastic dreams, of classical dance and folk choreography.
Arts Ballet Theatre’s production of the Stone Flower will feature choreography by Maestro Issaev. The story concerns the fate of the stone carver, Danila, who wishes to see the full power of the stone and show its beauty to the people. This classical piece shows a love story that showcases how this powerful feeling exceeds the adversities.
Issaev’s Stone Flower was commissioned by the Michiko Matsumoto Ballet in Japan, and its performance in 2011 received excellent reviews.
Also this program presents the ultimately love story of all times Romeo and Juliet, this piece composed by Prokofiev is based on the universal and remarkable play by Shakespeare. It is a romantic and dramatic tale of love between two youngsters coming from feuding families forced to hide their love and tragically ending.
Suites of the ballet music were heard in Moscow and the United States, but the full ballet premiered in the Mahen Theatre, Brno (then in Czechoslovakia, now in the Czech Republic), on December 30th 1938. The famous adagio of the balcony scene, with choreography of Lavrovsky will be an important scene presented by The Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida. Mary Carmen Catoya and Daniel Sarabia principal dancers will be responsible for leading the main roles.
The program will also feature the collaboration of the distinguished guest choreographer Miao Zong with a beautiful ballet number named Bolero from the French composer Maurice Ravel. Originally composed as a ballet commissioned by Russian actress and dancer Ida Rubinstein, the piece, which premiered in 1928, is Ravel’s most famous musical composition.
Chinese native Miao Zong, have danced with Le Jeune Ballet de France, Ballet Nacional de Caracas, Boston Ballet and Ballet de l‘Opera du Rhin in France where he is currently assistant director. In 2004 he made his choreographic debut with Le Chant de Dieu, a solo that he danced at Boston Ballet and then was invited by Mr. Peter Martins to create a new piece “Entre nous†for the School of American Ballet in New York. And now The Arts Ballet Theater of Florida is privileged to have him as a collaborator.

Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida.
Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida presents “Coppeliaâ€.
Miami, Fl. Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida, one of South Florida’s most acclaimed ballet companies, will present the third program of the season with the delightful and lovely ballet comedy:”Coppelia”. It will run March 5th -6th at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center, and March 12th -13th at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts at the Amaturo Theater.
Coppelia is considered one of the most famous ballets of the classical repertoire. Vladimir Issaev’s version, based on the original work by Arthur Saint Leon is presented as a dynamic and entertaining ballet that will awe audience of all ages and allow everyone to enjoy it in a very unique way.
Issaev will keep the elements of the piece which are traditional ballet, character dance and pantomime, but adding the very peculiar humor and freshness of his works, which is already a trend in his choreographies. The original version was released on May 25, 1870 at the Paris Opera. It tells the story of Doctor Coppélius, a mysterious and absent minded inventor who created a mechanic life-size dancing doll: Coppelia. It is so lifelike that Franz (Daniel Sarabia or Hernan Montenegro), a village youth, is mesmerized by her beauty and is determined to attract her attention setting aside his true love, Swanhilda (Mary Carmen Catoya or Lillian Hill). She shows Frank his folly by dressing as the doll, pretending to make it come to life and ultimately saving him from an untimely end at the hands of the inventor.
Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida will have the participation of more than 20 professional dancers. The most advanced students of Vladimir Issaev School of Classical Ballet have been invited to perform along the professional dancers of the company.
Coppelia will feature the debut of talented Cuban dancer Daniel Sarabia, who is joining Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida and sharing his extensive experience with the company. Having graduated from the National Ballet School of Cuba, Sarabia has been part of the Boston Ballet Company, The Béjart Ballet Lausanne (Switzerland), and was principal dancer of Miami City Ballet. He has also been in major productions dancing principal roles in Latin America, Asia and Europe.
Coppelia will be presented March 5 & 6 at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center and March 12 & 13 at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

Miami, Fl. The Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida, one of the most applauded ballet companies in South Florida, continues their successful 2015-2016 season with the presentation of the classic Christmas Ballet most anticipated by the whole family, “The Nutcrackerâ€, performing in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale under the direction of the Master Vladimir Issaev.
“The Nutcracker†ballet, the most popular holiday treat of all, tells the story of Clara, who on Christmas Eve decides to make a journey at the hand of her beloved Nutcracker, who comes to life and battles with the evil Mouse King, and helps Clara reach the land of the Sweets.
WHERE ALL BEGINS
Originally, it all started in Russia when Ivan Vsevolozhky, who was director of the Imperial Theatres, commissioned “The Nutcracker†to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composer of successful ballets like Sleeping Beauty and the Queen of Spades (PÃkovaya dama). Marius Petipa, responsible for the original choreography and then Director of Ballet of St. Petersburg, made the stage dramatization of the original story of Ernest Hoffman.
However, it wasn’t until a year later that this piece came to be released, and the Petipa choreography could not be finished because she fell ill. The Nutcracker world premiere was on December 18, 1892, at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, and it wasn’t until 1934 that it was given performances outside of Russia.
The reboot on stage of ABT of Fl
This staging features original choreography by Master Issaev, while maintaining the traditional lines of the Russian ballet. Through the years Issaev also managed a ballet group that is headed today by Miami’s prima ballerina, Venezuelan Mary Carmen Catoya who, this year, will dance the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy for Issaev!
Ms. Catoya, who joined the company in August 2015, has brought the best experience of her dancing to the Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida which, this December, celebrates 18 years of forming new generations of ballet lovers in South Florida.
Mary Carmen Catoya will alternate the role of the Sugarplum Fairy with the leading players Lillian Hill, Hinano Eto and Aya Baba and their princes, Hernan Montenegro and Ramil Bagmanov, who will perform at both the Aventura Arts and Cultural Center and the Parker Playhouse in Ft. Lauderdale.
On December 18th, the traditional Nutcracker Gala will be held at the Parker Playhouse in Ft. Lauderdale to benefit the non-profit company, where VIP guests that attend can enjoy a Pre Show reception where wines from the Alanis and Joaquin Rebolledo cellars will be offered, accompanied by sparkling of Fragamoura. Guests will also be meeting the dancers, and will have the opportunity to participate in a Silent Auction, with prizes that range from a trip to the Bahamas, to fine jewelry, sports memorabilia and holiday baskets.

Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida Starts a New Season with a Latin Flavor

Cost: $ 30
On Saturday October 10th, Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida opens its season with an exciting contemporary program featuring a new work for the company: “Tarde en la Siesta” by Cuban choreographer Alberto Méndez, and music by Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona. It will be Mendez himself who will stage this piece.
This will also be the debut of Miami’s prima ballerina Mary Carmen Catoya as principal dancer of Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida. The South Florida audience will enjoy the virtuosity of Catoya in the Grand Pas of “Don Quixote†and the Grand Pas of “Laurencia”, a piece from the classical repertoire rarely seen in the United States, by Vakhtang Chabukiani to music by Alexander Crain, based on Lope de Vega’s Fuente Ovejuna. Also choreographer Alberto Mendez is staging a Pas de Trois for Catoya, Ramil Bagmanov and Alexei Minkin: His formerly piece Suite Generis revised and renamed by himself as Eros’ Game, where two men and a woman show a more contemporary phase of Mr. Mendez and will leave audiences breathless!
To complement this program with Latin flavor, Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida will perform “Fuga con Pajarillo,” the orchestral version of Venezuelan composer, Aldemaro Romero’s fugue, choreographed by Vladimir Issaev. In this work the typical steps of Joropo (a folk dance) are recreated in pointe shoes, showing the technicality of the solo dancers. The costumes are a creation by designer Jorge Gallardo who, inspired in bougainvillea flower, dresses the ballerinas, while the soloist wears traditional Venezuelan Liqui-liqui. Following, Suite of Waltzes also choreographed by Vladimir Issaev with Music of Venezuelan pianist and composer, Teresa Carreno.

With a magnificent and colorful spectacle the Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida closes its seventeenth season. Its traditional Spring Gala will include the return of Vladimir Issaev’s exciting neo-classical ballet Shostakovich Suites and Vicente Nebrada’s sensous work, Pentimento. The Spring Gala is part of the Broward County Centennial Celebration.
Shostakovich Suites is an exhilarating choreographic piece by Vladimir Issaev, inspired by the music of this Russian composer who was a revolutionary in contemporary composition while suffering the brutal despotism toward talented artists during Stalin’s era. The piece brings all the excitement of the neo-classical dance combined with the extraordinary skills of the Issaev’s dancers at Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida.
Pentimento, created by renowned choreographer Vicente Nebrada, includes excerpts from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Four Suites for Orchestra. Pentimento, a pivotal piece of his repertoire, is a bold, abstract work that is based on the art form of painting of the same name. The artist changes his mind about the composition of his painting during the process, and then changes it. This approach is also applied to ballet: the dance and costumes change throughout the performance. Using masks, floating fabrics and dense lighting, the piece is developed with the presentation of different characters who dance and show the genius of Nebrada. Adding to mystical effects is original costuming by Cristina Gianinni.
These pieces will be performed by the professional dancers of the company where principals Hirofumi Ikeuchi, Lillian Hill, Ramil Bagmanov, Takayuki Asai and Aya Baba have the responsibilities of the main roles. The program showcases the extraordinary skills of Vladimir Issaev’s dancers.

Former Museum fellow Wendy Lower challenges the traditional picture of Germany’s women holding down the home front. In her compelling book, “Hitler’s Furies: German Women in the Nazi Killing Fields,” she reveals new evidence that places them directly in the maelstrom of war: looting, plundering and even killing.
Learn about a generation of women swept up in the feverish nationalism of the Nazi party, many of whom traveled east with the expanding “frontier” –where they witnessed and participated in exploitation, persecution and murder.

Festival Closing Event
Ballet Flamenco La Rosa in the World Premiere of a new Flamenco dance drama by Ilisa Rosal featuring live music and guest artists from Spain.
This Spring, Miami Dance Festival celebrates its 12th anniversary, kicking off Saturday, April 4, 2015 with two performances by Momentum Dance Company at the Colony Theater in Miami Beach. Established by the Founder & Artistic Director of Momentum Dance Company, Delma Iles, the Festival announces this year’s artistic works to be a joint effort of her company and other dance companies such as Carolyn Dorfman Dance from New York City and Ballet Flamenco La Rosa from Miami. Their combined mission is to move and inspire attendees with newly choreographed performances in addition to the classics.
This season’s Festival promises an intriguing selection of dance companies and dance styles including modern dance, water ballet, a family day, a community dance event, as well as panel discussions and a film screening, and, a Festival staple and audience favorite, Flamenco dance. All age groups can participate and many events offer complimentary admission.
Carolyn Dorfman Dance known for its athleticism, dramatic nuance, and musical range, returns to the Festival (they previously performed in 2007) with the Southeastern U.S. premiere of Dorfman’s highly acclaimed Interior Designs, as well as The Klezmer Sketch and Narcoleptic Lovers by Doug Elkins. The company will also give a free lecture/performance at Miami Dade College, Wolfson Campus titled Art and Legacy/The Power of Art to Transform Lives.
Delma Iles will herself premiere a new work in the Festival’s opening event – Momentum Dance Company’s Spring Season at the Colony Theater: Birds of the Inner Eye. “The works contain a delicate spiritual quality while also managing to be strictly disciplined which resonates with the soul of this Festival,†explains Iles.
The dance will be performed partially in silence and partially to selections of piano works by French composer Olivier Messiaen, a composer Iles has used several times in the past. The pieces will be played live by Guest Artist Dr. Alan Ngim. The program also includes a new work by veteran dancer Emily Noe, who has been with Momentum for five years. This year, she has created a larger scale piece that experiments with partnering and lifts using the entire dance company. Lastly, the program includes Anna Sokolow’s 1985 work, Poems of Scriabin, created especially for Momentum while she was in Miami. The Festival continues with a showing of dances by independent choreographers hosted by PAN, Performing Arts Network, as part of their 20th Anniversary season.
For a rousing finale, the Festival chose the World Premiere of El Padre, a new flamenco dance drama by Miami-based Ballet Flamenco La Rosa founded by Artistic Director, and acclaimed choreographer Ilisa Rosal. Rosal has made an international name for herself by taking flamenco into dramatic narrative using important literary works as a point of departure. El Padre is inspired by August Strindberg’s “The Father.†The performance features live music and guest artists from Spain, and Sweden, the birthplace of the playwright, collaborating to create this groundbreaking new work as part of their 30th Anniversary season. The passion and drama of this classic story, rooted in Nineteenth Century class and gender struggles, unite with Flamenco guitar, singing and dance to create unforgettable theater magic.
Miami Dance Festival is made possible with support from: the National Endowment for the Arts, the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Arts Council, the Children’s Trust, the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Mayor and Board of County Commissioners, the City of Miami Beach and the Miami Beach Cultural Affairs Council, the City of Coral Gables and the Coral Gables Arts Council, Citizens Interested in Arts, WLRN Public Radio, the Miami-Dade County Public Library System, Miami Dade College, Wolfson Campus Department of Art and Philosophy, PAN, the Miami Beach Cinematheque, the National Hotel.

Dentistry from Our Hearts: Spreading Free Smiles Throughout South Florida
February 4, 2015
AVENTURA, FL — The Dental Care Group and Dental Care Group Kids are bringing free smiles back to the community! On Sunday, February 8, 2015, they’ll host the 4th annual Dentistry from Our Hearts. Their dental teams will be donating their time to provide free services including exams, cleanings, fillings, bondings, extractions, x-rays and emergency care at both their Aventura and Pembroke Pines offices during this year’s event.
With the help of their fellow dentists, hygienists, clinical and administrative teams, volunteers and sponsors, Dr. Rick Mars, Dr. Joel Glicksman and Dr. Josh Coussa have treated over 1000 patients and donated nearly half a million dollars in dental care through the Dentistry from Our Hearts program since 2012.
Tooth decay, which is almost entirely preventable, is the most common chronic illness among school-age children. Left untreated, it can result in infection, unbearable pain, loss of teeth and acute systemic infection. Yet nearly one in four American children have untreated tooth decay. For low-income children, the rate doubles.
“For many, a visit to the dentist is unaffordable and inaccessible. More than 85 million Americans have no form of dental insurance. We are looking to address this concern and give back to the members of our community who need it the most,†said Dr. Rick Mars.
The event will take place from 9 am to 4 pm on February 8th. Patients will be seen on a first come first served basis. If you would like more information on this event, or to schedule an interview with Dr. Rick Mars, please contact Leslie de Lepine at (305)935-2797 ext. 249 or via email at Leslie@dentalcaregroup.net.

Following their tradition of bringing the best of classic ballet for the families, Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida presents: “Fairy Doll†by composer Josef Bayer and choreographed by Maestro Vladimir Issaev.
“Fairy Dollâ€, originally “Die Puppenfee†was first performed in 1888, and was one of the most successful productions in the late 19th century. Issaev recreated this ballet in two acts in 2009. “Bayer’s music is so inspiring and beautiful, I could not let his opportunity pass byâ€, says Issaev. “I fell in love with every variation of this music and the more I researched, the more I felt South Florida’s audiences deserved a ballet production of this kind.â€
It tells the story of a young boy who works in a doll store that has distinctive dolls from different countries and a beautiful Fairy Doll. Customers just fall in love with the stunning doll. At the end of the day, the owner of the store closes the shop, and the young and distracted assistant is left alone, locked inside. As the night falls, the tired young boy cannot believe his eyes! The Fairy Doll comes to life, and with her magic, she brings all the toys of the store to life.
The production counts on creative and imaginative costume designer Jorge Gallardo to make all the ballet dancers look like real dolls and the sets. On the main roles dancers Lillian Hill, Yuki Beppu, Takayuki Asai, Hirofumi Kitazume and Ramil Bagmanov will share the stage during these four fantastic performances along the rest of the professional corps of ballet.
There will be more than 60 dolls that will come to life from March, 7th to 15th at Aventura Arts & Cultural Centre and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

In a continuous effort to bring to South Florida the most iconic ballets of the Russian repertoire, Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida presents a Tribute to Diaghilev, the art critic, patron, ballet impresario and founder of the Ballets Russes, with three splendid works that translate the spirit of the era.
Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida joins the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Stravinsky’s controversial piece The Rite of Spring, with a new version choreographed by the company’s Artistic Director, Vladimir Issaev and performed by their magnificent dancers. The production utilizes diverse and unique special effects as moving projections by DMD Studios, with costumes decorated by artist Maria Rivas.
The program also includes Le Spectre de la Rose, a beautiful short ballet about a young woman who dreams of dancing with the spirit of a souvenir rose from her first ball, based on a poem by Théophile Gautier. The dances were designed by Michel Fokine and the music is Hector Berlioz’s 1841 orchestration of Carl Maria von Weber’s piano music called “Invitation to the Dance”. Léon Bakst designed the original sets and costumes, which are the basis for Arts Ballet’s designs that have already been recreated at the ateliers of the Mariinsky Theater in Russia.
Finally, the show includes the ballet Petrouchka. Audiences will enjoy this very unique production with music of Stravinsky, costume designs by Jorge Gallardo, and choreography by Issaev himself. The Ballet in one act is set in the middle of a Russian Fair and tells the story of three puppets: Petrouchka, the clown, the Ballerina and, the Moor. All three puppets are commanded by the Charlatan, a sinister, bearded puppeteer and magician, who gives the puppets human emotions.
With this programs Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida will introduce dancers Hirofumi Ikeuchi y Saori Morioka y Takayuki Asai and Lilian Hill performing the leading roles, accompanied by local and international dancers.

With a magnificent and colorful spectacle that combines classical and neoclassical ballet, the Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida, conducted by Maestro Vladimir Issaev, closes its sixteenth season, next May 3rd and 4th at the Aventura Arts and Cultural Center and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
Paying tribute to the roots, the company will present a classical Russian ballet: Paquita, with music by Minkus and choreography by Petipa. Although over the years, the original two-act play has been lost, Paquita’s wedding with her knight, has become an icon in classical ballet repertoire. Paquita allows the main couple, in this case played by dancers Jun Tanabe and Kaori Fukui, to show their virtuosity. It also has a number of variations and Pas de Trois played by soloists of the company. The costumes were made in the workshops of Mariinsky Theatre (formerly known as the Kirov) of St. Petersburg.
To complement this eclectic program, and as a tribute to Venezuela, the Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida will present Fuga con Pajarillo, the orchestral version of Venezuelan composer, Aldemaro Romero’s fugue, choreographed by Vladimir Issaev. In this work the typical steps of Joropo (a folk dance) are recreated in pointe shoes, showing the technicality of the solo dancers. The costumes are a creation by designer Jorge Gallardo who, inspired in bougainvillea flower, dresses the ballerinas, while the soloist wears traditional Venezuelan Liqui-liqui.
The company will also present The Dance of the Hours from the opera La Gioconda, with music by Poncielli and choreographed by Issaev. This piece was recently premiered as part of The Opera Atelier’s Great Moments of Opera. Followed by The Encounter, also choreographed by maestro Issaev with the beautiful Albinoni’s adagio. This choreography danced by Takayuki Asai and Hill Lillian, earned him the award for best choreographer in the festival of Palm Springs, and continues to be a success every time they perform it.
Furthermore, Takayuki Asai and Lillian Hill will dance the classic Coppelia’s Pas de Deux by the composer Delibes and choreographed by Gorsky/Saint – Leon, while Jorge Barani and Meisy GarcÃa will perform Paris’ Flames, a Pas de Deux with music by Asafiev and choreography by Vainonen. This Pas de Deux is performed only by exceptional dancers in high quality and strict standars international competition. It allows them to show their best technical skills.

Hey South Florida….Want to experience the cult classic “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” theatrically for the first time?
Join Keepitclassic.com & PopcornNights.com for an exclusive one-night-only screening of this so-bad-its-good 80’s classic. Over the past 25 years, “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” has developed a huge following on home video and late-night cable, having never received a wide theatrical release, we thought it would be quite awesome to celebrate its’ 25th anniversary with an event where we can all share in the Killer Klown awesomeness together. 2013 actually marked the film’s 25th Anniversary but since it was never released theatrically in Florida, we figured it would be a cool way to start out 2014.
Tickets can only be purchased through Tugg.com, not at the theater.

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.
This past Sunday night, my fiancé, Naomi and I embarked on a 65 mile bicycle journey along A1A from Parkland to Coral Gables. The propose of the trip: to see if we could do it.
I will preface this by saying that I’ve made October my personal “No Car, No Facebook Month”, also to see if I could do it (more on this in a future post). Naomi was gracious enough to go along with my scheme to bike the entire east coast of Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. We live in the middle of suburban Coral Gables, and regularly bicycle commute as far as Little Haiti, Wynwood, Downtown and Miami Beach, but by no means, had we been training for a long distance ride like this one.

Mayors Jewelers Hosts Rolex Deepsea Challenge Exhibition in Aventura Location 6/21/2013 – 7/8/2013

The Rolex Deepsea Challenge Exhibition will be on display for the first time in Florida, exclusively at Mayors Jewelers in Aventura from June 21st to July 8th, 2013.
On March 26, 2012, filmmaker and explorer James Cameron made an unprecedented solo dive to the deepest point in the ocean, Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, southwest of Guam in the Pacific Ocean, with the experimental ROLEX DEEPSEA CHALLENGE watch attached to the exterior of his submersible. The ROLEX DEEPSEA CHALLENGE descended to a depth of 35,756 feet, defying extreme technical challenges and showcased Rolex’s amazing waterproof capabilities during an expedition that opened a new chapter in deep-sea exploration.
“The ROLEX DEEPSEA CHALLENGE was the reliable companion throughout the dive; it was visible on the sub’s manipulator arm and working precisely at 10,898 meters down at the bottom of Challenger Deep,†James Cameron said after his historic dive. “It’s a tremendous example of engineering know-how, and an ideal match for the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER submersible.â€
On board with Cameron acting as his lucky charm was the ‘Old Lady,’ the history-making 1960 ROLEX DEEP SEA SPECIAL experimental watch that had accompanied Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard and the then Lieutenant Don Walsh on their legendary dive in the bathyscaphe TRIESTE on January 23, 1960, the first and until Cameron’s dive, the only manned dive to what was then the deepest-known point in the Mariana Trench. On that exploit, the ROLEX DEEP SEA SPECIAL, attached to the hull of the Trieste reached a depth of 35,814 feet returning to the surface in perfect working order, a feat that remained unrivalled for more than half a century.
The educational Rolex Deepsea Challenge Exhibition in partnership with the National Geography Society includes interactive audio and visual and will showcase both renowned watches. This is a traveling exhibition and will later move to Mayors Jewelers in Orlando.

Discover and trust your natural intuitive gifts and inner guidance for more satisfaction and joy. That’s the topic of a dynamic, interactive talk being presented by international lecturers Estelle Small and Patrick Kilhenny of the non-profit, educational organization, IPM (Inner Peace Movement) International.
Using this sixth sense comes in handy, from situations that require major decisions or simply knowing when to pop a dish out of the oven. Everyone is psychic and being sharply attuned to it helps life flow more smoothly. People gain trust, self-confidence and inner security when they start tapping into their psychic part. The lecture will also dip into an understanding about using inner guidance, or guardian angels, that help people with their unique missions in life.
This is an interactive lecture. Participants can even try a technique on using their intuition, and most are able to do it on the first try. Estelle Small and Patrick Kilhenny have been presenting on this topic for many years in North America and Europe. Their quest for understanding their sixth sense comes out of their own experiences.

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.

Miami International Piano Festival’s March Master Series takes a Fresh Look At the Classics in a Tribute to the Genius of the French Impressionists
Sunday, 03/03/2013, 03:45 pm – 05:45 pm
Broward Center For The Performing Arts
205 SW 5th Ave ,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312
Webpage Link
Miami, FL (January 24, 2013) In a bold programming move, the Piano Festival presents three consecutive days in homage to the music of Claude Debussy – celebrating of the 150th anniversary of his birth – and the composers who are frequently associated with the French Impressionist movement – Ravel, Faure and Messaien.
From Sunday through Tuesday, March 3 – 5, four unique programs will be presented at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale by some of the world’s most impressive masters of the keyboard.
The Master Series opens with a Sunday matinee performance by Francesco Libetta (Italy), dubbed the “pianist of the impossible†by filmmaker Bruno Monsaingeon, Libetta has earned a reputation for his brilliant and personal interpretations of the classics’ most challenging repertoire.
His 3:00 p.m. recital will include works by the true “Geniuses of Impressionism†– Godard, Debussy, Saint Saens, Fauré, and Ravel. Of his 2009 Festival performance, Alan Becker wrote, “Libetta, hands, possibly taken over by demons, took all of the tortures in stride and left the audience amazed that the unbelievable had taken place before them.â€
That same evening, the Festival turns the stage over to Konstantin Lifschitz (Russia), who will focus on a “Tribute to Debussy†in honor of the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth in August of 1862. In 2008 Lifschitz made Festival history by performing both books of Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier.
“Yet so naturally poetic and expressive was his playing that he made it seem as if the entirety of the modern piano repertory lay nascent in these 48 pieces,†wrote the NY Times. Debussy will be no less thrilling in the hands of this great Master as he presents his thoughtful interpretations of works such as L’isle joyeuse, 6 epigraphes antiques, Soiree dans Grenade and all the Preludes from Book One.
On Monday evening, Festival audiences are in for a special treat as not one, but two artists collaborate to bring works by Debussy, Ravel and Messiaen to life!
Konstantin Lifschitz (Russia) and Francesco Libetta (Italy) will showcase the amazing versatility and depth of these composers in their works specifically written for two pianos.
To conclude the 2013 Master Series, the Festival has put together a special chamber program of French Impressionist jewels featuring three collaborative geniuses: pianist, Misha Dacic (Serbia), violinist, Gilles Apap (France), and cellist Dimitri Maslennikov (Russia).
Included in their program will be Debussy’s Violin Sonata in G minor, Ravel’s Cello Sonata, and Fauré’s Piano Trio in D minor. A local favorite, Dacic was first brought to the U.S. by the Festival in 2003 and it was just a matter of time until the Festival could find the perfect opportunity to pair him with the eclectic French violinist, Gilles Apap. Joined by cellist Maslennikov, the Master Series’ grande finale will be Ravel’s Piano Trio in A minor.
Inspiration for the musical content of the Trio came from a wide variety of sources, from Basque dance to Malaysian poetry and is regarded as a technical masterpiece.
After the intermission of each performance, guest lecturer Stuart Isacoff will shed light on the repertoire’s historical context. Isacoff is an award-winning writer, pianist, composer and lecturer who performs and lectures across North America and Europe.
He is the author of A Natural History of the Piano (Knopf, 2011), as well as the highly acclaimed Temperament (Knopf/Vintage, 2003).
“As we celebrate 16 years of a truly enriching and exciting journey into the world of the piano, the Masters Series has become a vehicle for digging deeply into the profound repertoire of the composers,†noted the Miami International Piano Festival’s Artistic Director Giselle Brodsky. “During these intense explorations of a single composer or in this year’s case an entire genre, these musical jewels can enjoy new life in the hands of today’s great masters.â€

Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida’s 15th Year Continues With The Little Onion That Could – CHIPOLLINO!
www.artsballettheatre.org
Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida, nurtured and grown under the direction of Ballet Master Vladimir Issaev since October of 1997, leapt into its 15th Season in the fall, and now that it’s spring, South Florida ballet fans will be treated to a veritable all-you-can-dance salad bar, lead by a brave little green onion, presented by Arts Ballet Theatre’s professional corps of 18 dancers! But no worries, the only eye watering will be from visual delight!
Arts Ballet Theatre will bring back the family favorite “Chipollino†– a beautiful ballet in two acts, choreographed by Ballet Master Vladimir Issaev to the music of Russian composer K. Katchaturian. This ballet is based on Gianni Rodari’s tale about vegetables. It is the story of a naughty "green onion" character by the name of Chipollino who fights the unjust treatment of his fellow garden variety town folk of Lemonia by fruity royalty (Prince Lemon – a truly sour character – and over zealous Chief of Police Tomato) in the garden kingdom.
Through music and dance, “Chipollino†not only tells the fanciful folk tale, but also expresses a much deeper political statement – the struggle of the underclass and the powerful, good versus evil, and the importance of friendship in the face of difficulties. “Chipollino†will capture the imaginations of both adults and children. Internationally renowned Jorge Gallardo designed all of the costumes and the backdrops were designed and created by Elena Bond.
“Chipollino†was originally written by Italian writer Gianni Rodari, and it became a very popular story in Russia, where composer Karen Katchaturian composed the music for a cartoon version, which was very popular among children and adults. Soon after, Katchaturian wrote the music for an entire three Act Ballet. Vladimir Issaev created his choreography in 1992 for Ballet Concierto of Puerto Rico, where it was received with a great success. It was performed again in Venezuela by the Youth Ballet of Venezuela and, in 1999, by the Georgia Youth Ballet in Atlanta. The premiere in Miami was in 2003 and it ran for four consecutive seasons by audience demand.

Guests will join editors, celebrities, fashion models, fashionistas, and designers for a fun-filled evening, featuring complimentary tasting samples from Miami Spice participating restaurants, including II Mulino NY-Miami, Cascata Grill, Bongo’s Cuban Cafe, Larios On The Beach and Morton’s The Steakhouse (North Miami Beach). Throughout the night, guests will enjoy delicious mojitos and piña coladas courtesy of Bacardi as well as beer provided by Stella Artois. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to win Miami Spice dinner vouchers (redeemable at specific participating restaurants).
Fashion’s Night Out is an unprecedented global initiative created in 2009 in a partnership between American Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, NYC & Company, and the City of New York to celebrate fashion, restore consumer confidence, boost the industry’s economy and put the fun back in shopping. Since then, the event has grown exponentially, expanding nationally in 2011 to over 250 cities and globally into 18 countries.
Now in its 11th year, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau’s (GMCVB) Miami Spice Restaurant Program is the wildly anticipated summer celebration in which Greater Miami restaurants offer discounted three-course lunch and dinner menus. New to the program this year is a second pricing option, offering Miami Spice fans more diverse and wide-ranging dining options, simultaneously from August 1 – September 30, 2012. The expanded format of Miami Spice – presented by American Express and sponsored by BACARDI® rum and Stella Artois – consists of two restaurant groups: Luxury dining restaurants and fine dining restaurants. Luxury dining restaurants offer three course prix-fixe lunches at $23. per person, dinners at $39. Fine dining restaurants feature menus at $19. for lunch, $33. for dinner. For an up-to-date list of participating restaurants, menus, and scheduled events, visit the Miami Spice Restaurant Program’s dedicated website: www.iLoveMiamiSpice.com.

Bring Iron Sky to Miami!
Tickets $10 each.

If the minimum number of 41 is not sold, you will get a full refund.
More Info & Discussion
The guys over at Energia Productions secured a US distribution deal for Iron Sky finally. However, due to the quirky nature of independent cinema, the film will only be shown in theatres where enough presale tickets are sold to justify showing it. So, Talk Nightlife established a dialog with them and the good people at Tugg to bring a showing of the movie to the Miami area.
Tugg enables anyone to bring the movies they want to see to local theatres. It is like a Kickstarter for cinema buffs and independent filmmakers.
Here is where we come in. Provided enough presale tickets are sold (41) the film will be shown at the AMC Aventura 24 at 7:30 PM on Thursday August 23rd.
Ticket cost: $10.00 – Ten Dollars.

Yes, if we do not meet our funding goal, you get your ten dollars back.
About the film:
In the last moments of World War II, a secret Nazi space program evaded destruction by fleeing to the Dark Side of the Moon. During 70 years of utter secrecy, the Nazis construct a gigantic space fortress with a massive armada of flying saucers.
[tubepress video=”Py_IndUbcxc”]
When American astronaut James Washington (Christopher Kirby) puts down his Lunar Lander a bit too close to the secret Nazi base, the Moon Führer (Udo Kier) decides the glorious moment of retaking the Earth has arrived sooner than expected. Washington claims the mission is just a publicity stunt for the President of the United States (Stephanie Paul), but what else could the man be but a scout for the imminent attack by Earth forces? The Fourth Reich must act!
Two Nazi officers, ruthless Klaus Adler (Götz Otto) and idealistic Renate Richter (Julia Dietze), travel to Earth to prepare the invasion. In the end when the Moon Nazi UFO armada darkens the skies, ready to strike at the unprepared Earth, every man, woman and nation alike, must re-evaluate their priorities.
Iron Sky is a dark science fiction comedy directed by Timo Vuorensola and will feature musical score composed by Laibach. The film is produced by Blind Spot Pictures and Energia Productions in Finland, and co-produced by 27 Films in Germany and New Holland Pictures in Australia. Principal photography took place in Germany in November-December 2010 and in Australia in January-February 2011.

The New York Times described a Peplowski concert as “Goodman Straight Up, With A Twist Of Lightning.”
The late Mel Torme said, “Since the advent of Benny Goodman, there have been too few clarinetists to fill the void that Goodman left. Ken Peplowski is most certainly one of those few. The man is magic.” The New York Times described a Peplowski concert as “Goodman Straight Up, With A Twist Of Lightning.” These quotes only hint at Ken Peplowski’s virtuosity – not only is he an outstanding clarinetist and saxophone player, but he’s also a charismatic entertainer who has been delighting audiences for over 30 years with his warmth, wit, and musicianship.
The litany of musicians Ken has collaborated with includes: Mel Torme, Leon Redbone, Charlie Byrd, Peggy Lee, George Shearing, Madonna, Hank Jones, Dave Frishberg, Rosemary Clooney, Tom Harrell, James Moody, Cedar Walton, Houston Person, Sonny Stitt, Steve Allen, Woody Allen, Shelly Berg, and Erich Kunzel. (“Although not necessarily in that order,” says Ken).
The South Florida Jazz Orchestra is a modern big band comprised of many of the most accomplished jazz and studio musicians and jazz educators in the southeastern United States. The director of the SFJO, Chuck Bergeron, a bassist, composer, and educator, is one of the most active and innovative musicians working in the field of jazz today. Chuck’s unique compositional style and approach to improvisation reflect a wide variety of musical influences and confirm a deep commitment to the rich polyrhythmic characteristics of his musical and cultural heritage as a native of New Orleans and a seasoned jazz professional from New York City.

Arts Ballet Theatre’s professional corps of 13 dancers have spent the last weeks working on a very demanding and exciting repertoire before they pack their dancing gear to fly to Poznan in Poland where they will perform at the International Dancer’s Festival.
Shostakovich Suites is an exhilarating choreographic piece by Vladimir Issaev, inspired by the music of this Russian composer who was a revolutionary in contemporary composition while suffering the brutal despotism toward talented artists during Stalin’s era.
Fragmentos by Cuban choreographer Edgar Anido is a work that portraits part of Anido’s young memories, and the reflection of those memories on his present.
Edgar Anido is a dancer and choreographer based in New Jersey who currently works for Complexions Contemporary Ballet of New York. These pieces will be performed by the professional dancers of the company where principals Kaori Fukui, Jun Tanabe, Lillian Hill, Fan Shi and Kohhei Kuwana have the responsibilities of the main roles.

The Fairy Doll: An Enchanting Ballet
March 3 and 4, 2012. Aventura Arts and Cultural Center
March 10 and 11, 2012. Broward Center for the Performing Arts
www.artsballettheatre.org
Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida is bringing back the Ballet Fairy Doll to the stages of the Aventura Arts and Cultural Center and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
“Fairy Doll”, originally “Die Puppenfee” by composer Josef Bayer and first performed in 1888, was one of the most successful productions in the late 19th century. Issaev’s recreation and revival of this ballet in two acts, was first premiered in 2009 with absolute success.
Bayer’s exciting and beautiful music was Issaev’s inspiring factor to create a magnificent choreographic work in a production that includes imaginative costumes designed by Jorge Gallardo and sets created by painter and artist Elena Bond. Principal dancers Kaori Fukui, Jun Tanabe and Yhosvani Rodriguez, will have the lead parts alternating with DeeDee Rosner, Kohhei Kuwana and Fan Shi.
The ballet tells the story of a young boy who works in a Doll Store that has distinctive dolls from different countries and different kinds and a beautiful Fairy Doll. Customers just fall in love with the stunning doll.
At the end of the day, the owner of the store closes the shop, and the young and distracted assistant is left alone, locked inside the store. As the night falls, the tired young boy cannot believe his eyes! The Fairy Doll comes to life, and with her magic, she brings all the toys of the store to life.
After the successful performances of The Nutcracker of Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida, South Florida audiences are looking forward to another opportunity to attend with their family to see this adorable ballet, for an affordable ticket price of $25.00.
There will be more than 60 dolls that will come to life March 3 & 4 at the Aventura Arts and Cultural Center and later on March 10 and 11 at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
