Just My Height Art Shows® brings fine art to young children’s eye level by displaying professional quality fine art at 36 inches high. Talking Off the Wall Magazine has been documenting the South Florida street-art scene for the past two years. These two organizations have joined forces to produce “Secret Doors,” a fine art show that will proudly feature 15 of South Florida’s best street artists and muralists to benefit ArtCares for Kids.

Sponsored by The Florida House Experience, VITAS Healthcare, Artist & Craftsman Supply, Aventura Mall and others, the show will feature family friendly street- and mural-style artwork.

The opening will feature games and hands-on art activities designed to engage patrons with the exhibits. Persons of all ages—from 2 to 102—are welcome to enjoy complementary light bites and age-appropriate beverages, including sponsored adult beverages provided by Peroni beer, with an open bar from 6 to 8 p.m., and a cash bar from 8 to 10 p.m.

A portion of the proceeds from the show will be donated to ArtCares for Kids, a Miami-based organization that takes art activities to children undergoing cancer and other intensive medical treatments at Jackson Memorial Holtz Children’s Hospital and Baptist Children’s Hospital. ArtCares for Kids will receive copies of a special coloring book comprised of the artwork being shown at the event. The “Secret Doors,” coloring book will be given to these children in an effort to raise their spirits and occupy their hands with bedside art projects.

Cost: 12.00

With the increasing number of new digital technologies, is it a surprise that everything is being disrupted, most importantly distribution practices? Audience consumption habits are changing and we can argue that film distribution is shifting from a supply-led to a demand-led market.
There is also an abundance of content which is only matched by the complete accessibility to it, anytime, anywhere, the options are endless. There are no barriers to distribution, only to awareness and engagement. You need to allocate time and resources to engage people with your work. This is the workshop to help you learn how to independently distribute and be an entrepreneurial filmmaker.

Topics Will Include But Not Limited To:
– Armed with a good story and good storytelling skills, you should be able to profit if you know how to take responsibility for your creation, how do you do that?
– How to adapt to an ever-changing industry that requires great creativity as well as business savvy?
– How do you utilize the virtually endless avenues of self-distribution, like VODs, iTunes, YouTube, and Vimeo (just to name a few)?
– How do you create your own theatrical release or should you bypass it all together?

Meet our Speaker: Ricki Cikowski
Rick co-produced and edited the PGA Nominated, crowd-sourced, theatrical documentary Far Out Isn’t Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and it can currently be seen on Netflix.
Rick Cikowski is a co-founder of the Corner of the Cave Media. Rick has directed some of today’s biggest names in music, sports and entertainment including 50 Cent, Q-Tip, Kid Ink, Pitbull, Ludacris, Gary Sinise, Tyrese Gibson, Grandmaster Flash, Kobe Bryant, Jae Crowder and Lawrence Timmons to name a few.
He was also recently editor on History Channel’s highly acclaimed 2-hr special Alcatraz: Search for the Truth and was executive producer, co-director and lead editor on Real Change: Artists for Education which aired on CBS in 2014. Rick was also the editor for Behind The Music: Ludacris and BTM Nicole Scherzinger, which was shot/edited/produced/written through the Cave and aired on VH1.

South Florida Jazz presents “Great Women in Music” 4/9/16

South Florida Jazz presents “Great Women in Music”
Saturday, 04/09/2016 – 08:00 pm – 11:00 pm

3100 Ray Ferrero Blvd,
Davie, Florida 33314
No Link
Cost: $40

On April 9 at 8 PM, South Florida Jazz presents “Celebrating Great Women in Music,” starring Lynne Arriale, Carla Cook, and Grace Kelly, at the Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center, 3100 Ray Ferrero Jr. Boulevard in Dania, FL. Tickets are $40 ($10 for students with ID) at southfloridajazz.org or (954) 462-0222.

Nina Simone, Abbey Lincoln and Joni Mitchell have established themselves as iconic performers and composers. The depth and authenticity of their music has profoundly influenced generations of musicians and touched audiences worldwide.

Pianist Lynne Arriale, vocalist Carla Cook and alto saxophonist/vocalist Grace Kelly have been moved and influenced by the strength and power of these legends. They celebrate these great women of jazz by sharing their unique reinterpretations of popular classics with passion, soul and sensitivity in a magical evening of empathetic collaboration. Joining them are bassist Evan Gregor and drummer Jordan Perlson.

These artists are highly innovative and original leaders. Lynne is an established star with worldwide status; she was the first prize winner of the 1993 International Great American Jazz Piano Competition, and soon launched her touring and recording career. “Lynne Arriale’s music lies at the synaptic intersection where brain meets heart, where body meets soul. As a result, there’s a directness, a purity, an unalloyed honesty that makes us listen and therefore “see” anew. She is one of jazzdom’s most intensely unique voices.” – JazzTimes

Carla Cook, from “Motown,” Detroit, is daring. She is a jazz singer/songwriter who sings standards beautifully — but she doesn’t stop there. Cook is willing to put a jazz spin on songs not written by traditional jazz composers. Songs that, until you hear her sing them, you’d never imagine could be interpreted as jazz. That willingness to simply sing what she loves is what gives Cook her signature style. “Carla Cook…a mad-loose straight ahead jazz diva with a gospel soul, big band heart, classical cool and improvisational hot …. and what a beautiful voice … a warm amber-hued contralto.” – JazzTimes

Bostonian Grace Kelly is a vivacious saxophone prodigy and composer with incredible polish for her tender age (23). She’s not looking to be like anyone else. “Got my own thing,” she sings over an urban, trance-like groove. Although the singer and saxophone player has been acclaimed by critics and audiences alike as a jazz musician, her work shows an artist interested only in playing what she loves, labels be damned. “Grace Kelly plays with intelligence, wit and feeling. She has a great amount of natural ability and the ability to adapt… the hallmark of a first-class jazz musician.” – Wynton Marsalis

Join Lynne, Carla and Grace for an evening of joyful interaction and musical spontaneity featuring modern jazz classics, reinvented popular favorites, and memorable original compositions.

Funding for South Florida JAZZ is provided in part by a grant from the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Division

On the surface the Puccios look like most other families. But something sinister is lurking behind the closed doors of the Puccios’ home. Steely-eyed patriarch Arquimedes (Guillermo Francella), along with the help of his eldest son, have started a deadly family business that involves kidnapping members of wealthy families for ransom, and then swiftly disposing of victims after receiving the money. This stranger-than-fiction story is based on a series of real-life crimes that took place in Argentina in the 1980s.

Steak Brasil Churrascaria, the most authentic and enjoyable Brazilian restaurant in Downtown Miami, is announcing its anniversary celebration taking place on March 26th. For the past three years, the restaurant has brought entertainment and mouth-watering food to our plates, making us travel to Brazil without leaving the city of Miami. Many restaurants claim true authenticity in their food offerings, but Steak Brasil lets its customers do the talking. The restaurant prides itself in providing patrons an all-encompassing legitimate Brazilian experience by focusing on family, friendship and a love for tradition.

Jaciel Santos, owner of Steak Brasil, has worked in every possible aspect of the restaurant business for more than 12 years to finally craft together what he likes to call, “unique experience of proximity” to his native country. By emphasizing on little details, such as greeting customers with a welcoming and joyful “Bom Dia!” to hiring accomplished gauchos with over 20 years of experience preparing and serving according to Brazil’s richest traditions, Santos is showcasing to numerous customers the best parts of his culture.

“It was important for me to create a space where family and friends have the luxury to eat outside their home, yet still feel the comfort and ease of being at home,” said Santos. “I wanted more than a place where you go once a year to celebrate a big event, but instead a place that feels like the weekend visit to your favorite aunt’s house where you eat until your heart is content while talking and reconnecting.”

During the third anniversary celebration, the “passista” dancers will be presenting an impressive performance for all of our guests and the restaurant will be offering complementary Caipirihna tasting, the most popular and delicious cocktail in the country of Brazil, 2 for 1 drink specials and traditional sharing options like picanha, an assortment of sausages or cheeses that will awake your taste buds.

“The 3rd year anniversary of our restaurant serves as a testament of all of our staff’s hard work,” said Jaciel Santos “We plan to expand and open a second location very soon”

Celebrate with the Churrascaria the astonishing year it has been and transport to South America from your seat.

The City of Miami Beach presents Karina Iglesias & the Nu-Thang
featuring:
Brian Robertson, piano
James McCoy, bass
Brian Lange, drums

Finalist on NBC’s “The Voice,” Karina Iglesias brings her powerful vocals to Arts Garage Sept. 26. She will be accompanied by her “Nu-Thang,” featuring Brian Robertson, piano, James McCoy, bass, and Brian Lange, drums. Her emotionally charged and deeply personal lyrics revealed a depth of character and vulnerability that can only be conveyed when a singer truly connects with their song. Karina’s classically-trained voice unveils the nuances of her lyrics and adds layers of meaning and emotion that are more commonly found in operatic vocal performances. With her highly-focused artistic vision, rich cultural background and proclivity for harnessing a wide range of production techniques, Karina Iglesias has showcased her strong elements of innovation and heralds a much-needed return to the authenticity of pure soul music.

“I felt like for the first time on the show, that possibly…, the light fixtures were just gonna explode, because [she is] a great singer and [she] really deserves to be here, so congratulations.”
(Adam Levine)

MDC Live Arts Offers a Mind-Bending Theater Experience
The Org Welcomes Back Cutting-Edge Chilean Theater Company Teatro Cinema

Miami Dade College’s (MDC) MDC Live Arts performing arts series presents the wildly inventive Chilean theater company, Teatro Cinema , at 8 p.m. Saturday, Apr. 16, at the Colony Theatre. The company will present Historia de Amor (Love Story), the final work in a trilogy on the subject of love, based on a graphic novel by Regis Jauffret.

The cutting-edge Teatro Cinema virtually escapes the confines of theater, using film technique, special effects, mirrors, digital imaging, and highly stylized sets to create the illusion of travelling through time and space. Live performers insert themselves into filmed and photographed backdrops and interact with illustrated stills and animations inspired by graphic novels, immersing audiences in the world that is being created.

In Historia de Amor, the company applies these techniques to tell a story that addresses the thin line between reason and madness, love and domination. An English teacher abducts a young woman and turns her into his victim, concubine and mother. He takes over her life in multiple ways, leaving her with no choice but to accept her situation and turn inward for solace.The comic-book aesthetic and black-and-white palette highlight the fragmented, solitary psyches of the woman and her captor with more nuance than theater or film alone could.

“The technical ingenuity in what they do is undeniably immense” -The Guardian

“I remain in awe of the company’s unparalleled creativity and technical prowess,” said MDC Live Arts Executive Director Kathryn Garcia.”We are thrilled to welcome them back to Miami where they will surely influence future theater makers and audiences with their distinctive technique and style.”

Leading up to their performance, the Teatro Cinema company will offer a mullti-day workshop to Teatro Prometeo students at MDC Wolfson Campus. The residency will be an instensive look in to the company’s technique–from storyboarding to content to staging and direction.

ABOUT TEATRO CINEMA
Teatro Cinema was founded in 1987 by puppeteer Jaime Lorca, performer-designer Laura Pizarro, and writer-director Juan Carlos Zagal. They explain they chose their company’s original name “La Troppa” (The Troop) to suggest “a troop of artists marching across the demolished horizons of the cultural decay that our country had been pushed to.” The group toured extensively as La Troppa with El Santo Patrono (1987), Salmon-Voodoo (1988), Rap del Quijote (1989), Pinocchio (1991), Lobo (1992), Viaje al Centro de la Tierra (1995), Gemelos (1999), and Jesús Betz (2003). In 2005 it was renamed Teatrocinema to highlight the way its diverse artists unite theater and cinema. Historia de Amor is part of a trilogy that includes Sin Sangre (Without Blood, 2007) and El hombre que daba de beber a las mariposas (The Man Who Fed Butterflies, 2010), which toured to Lincoln Center Festival; Théâtre de la Ville and Odeón; Teatro San Martín, Buenos Aires; Piccolo Teatro, Milan; and festivals in Avignon, Bogotá, Berlin, Edinburgh, Guanajuato, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, and Vienna. Juan Carlos Zagal and Laura Pizarro were both born in Santiago and trained at the Catholic University of Chile. Zagal is director, performer, writer, and composer for Teatro Cinema. Pizarro was a performer, writer, and director for their work as La Troppa and is art director and designer for Teatro Cinema.

Erick Morillo:
With his A-list celebrity chums, astronomical bank balance and palatial homes in Miami, Ibiza and soon Los Angeles, few people epitomize the ‘superstar DJ’ like Erick Morillo. The organizers of the IMS music conference in Ibiza certainly thought so, inviting Erick to give a talk entitled ‘Big Dog DJs: Fuck You I’m Famous’ earlier this year.
“People definitely know my name, but I’ve worked hard to get here,” Erick says. “It’s not like I think people should bow before me because I’m some big star.”
Although, with his Subliminal Sessions nights at Pacha having enjoyed their 13th year (making Morillo the White Isle’s longest-serving resident DJ in 2010) Ibiza is already conquered. With a resurgent Subliminal Records churning out floor fillers by the month, two new albums – one solo and one with Jose Nunez and Harry ‘Choo Choo’ Romero as The Dronez – in production and a live show in the works, Morillo is now redoubling his campaign to take America. The next shot in which will be DJing at the opening of the exclusive Marquee club in the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve, appearing alongside Jay-Z and Coldplay.

#ThankYouMiami for Fashion – Stealing Stares with Sequins in Vail

Posted on    by

Thank-You-Miami-For-Fashion-I-Love-Bowie-Chaser-Tank-Sequin-Skirt-Planet-Blue-Vail-6

It’s no surprise we love to travel but, during our most recent trip to Colorado, we realized one new reason why: traveling reminds us that Miami life is not normal. In Miami, no one bats an eye if you walk to the pharmacy with your booty hanging out. At the same time, no one questions if you walk out in a ball gown with full hair and make up to do the same. Miami lets you do you, boo boo. Few other places on this planet are magical like that—and, as we learned last week, Vail most certainly is not one of those places.

Around 2 weeks ago we were doing the zombie-like Instagram scroll when we came across a post by Chaser Brand featuring a David Bowie muscle tank from their collection and a sequin slit skirt from Planet Blue. It was one of those major outfits that once you see it you can’t not own so for the sake of our sanity and well-being we immediately bought both pieces. The David Bowie tank lasted a total of 3 hours following its arrival before we wore out for a run along the Miami Beach boardwalk, but we were saving the sequin skirt for a special occasion.

On our last night in Vail we had reservations to one of the top restaurants in Vail Village called La Tour. (If you’re ever in the area, make a reservation and order the lamb. You won’t regret it.) The whole affair screams special occasion, no? Well, we thought so. Alas, the skirt came out of its neat plastic bag and became the foundation to one of our more eclectic outfits, paired with the omnipresent David Bowie tank, our Forever 21 faux fur and our Aska Collection Trooper booties.

In wacky Miami, no one would have given us a second look but in conservative, Norwegian sweater-jeans-and-boots-wearing Vail we stood out like Björk at a priest convention. Regardless of whether the people we passed were throwing shade at the shiny sequins, its weather inappropriate thigh-high slit, or the entire look in all its non-conformist glory, the experience made us realize that the Miami aesthetic is not acceptable most places and appreciate that Miami is so open-minded. #ThankYouMiami for letting our freak flags fly or not…as long as we’re happy.

What do you think of this look? Would you have put it together? Where would you wear this outfit? What pieces would you substitute or add? Leave a comment below or send us a tweet @ThankYouMiami!

Radiotopia Launches #PodQuest, the Search For Podcasting’s Next Breakout Hit

podquestWith $10,000 and four months of mentorship, three finalists will vie for a spot in Radiotopia’s network of acclaimed story-driven podcasts.

Podcast show submissions can be sent via radiotopia.fm/podquest until the April 17, 2016 deadline.

Aiming to discover diverse new voices, introduce audiences to fresh talent, and explore what it takes to bring a podcast to life, the Radiotopia podcast network today launched Podquest, a competition that will give three finalists financial and professional support to develop a podcast for the story-driven network of acclaimed shows such as 99% Invisible, The Memory Palace, Criminal, Song Exploder, and The Mortified Podcast.

Podquest kicks off with a one-month open submission period, during which anyone can submit an original idea for a podcast. Ten semi-finalists will then be interviewed by the Podquest selection team, with three finalists receiving $10,000 (each) to produce pilot episodes for their proposed shows. Over the course of four months, these finalists will receive hands-on support for creating a sustainable podcast, as well as editorial and technical input from Radiotopia’s team of seasoned podcasting experts. At the end of the production phase, one winner will be selected to develop their idea into a full series for inclusion in Radiotopia in 2017. Throughout the Podquest process, 99 Radiotopia supporters will participate by weighing in on submissions and offering feedback on pilot episodes-in-progress.

To help in the development of their podcasting endeavors, all ten of the semi-finalists will also receive an array of professional support including $300, office hours with Radiotopia producers, free Hindenburg radio editing software, a free two-year PRX membership, and a year-long membership with the media talent network AIR.

“Radiotopia’s mission is to provide a powerful, supportive platform for podcasting’s boldest voices,” said Julie Shapiro, Executive Producer of Radiotopia. “Podquest will connect us with ambitious, emerging producers and bring their creative talents to audiences hungry for Radiotopia-style podcasts: shows that consistently showcase innovative, provocative and carefully crafted storytelling.”

In 2015, Radiotopia podcasts were downloaded more than 10 million times per month, nearly doubling their 5.7 million monthly downloads from 2014.

Podquest is one of a series of new initiatives funded by a $1 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation that Radiotopia received in May 2015. Podquest is additionally supported by Hindenburg Systems and AIR.

Listening to a song now is likely to involve digital innovation, similarly to when one rents an apartment, uses a car, or books a taxi. The music that used to be bought and owned is increasingly an ephemeral choice, ordered for limited periods when and as wanted.

Delivery, consumption, and creation changes have been constants of the music industry for decades. The evolutions have been from live to analog formats, to digital platforms such compact discs and copies, to full downloads, and most recently internet streaming. Each shift has altered the relation-ship and income split between delivery intermediaries and the artists.

Ubiquitous internet access coupled with smart phone and tablet sophistication now offer access that previously required premium services or a PC. What will be the next iteration of content delivery and distribution? Will it involve music only or incorporate other mediums? Which new delivery platforms will be developed? What role might big data play in target marketing and sales? Will it be easier for new or independent artists to obtain a market for their creations? Will new intellectual property ten-sions arise?

Explore these and other facets of Music on Demand with our moderators and participants at this interactive educational event sponsored by the MIT Enterprise Forum of South Florida. The registration and networking period starts at 6:30 PM. The discussion will begin at 7:30 PM.

This classy music venue—former home to dance clubs Power and Glo—has the fairly dubious distinction of being located next door to a Western Beef supermarket. But indoors, the spartan 700-person-capacity space distinguishes itself with exposed beams, lounge-worthy lighting, and a column-free main floor with great sight lines from both the wide downstairs area and the carpeted balcony. (When seats are added to both levels, the place maxes the lookout.) Bookings are consciously eclectic, but overall reflect the evolved vibe of the neighborhood with bling- and controversy-free hip-hop acts, mellow songstresses, and veteran critical darlings.

The pre-construction development, which also happens to be the future home of a key figure from the Miami Heat, rented two buses and purchased over 100 tickets to bring the kids of Coconut Cares to watch the city’s most beloved team.

David Martin, President and Co-founder of Terra Group and Cathy Strafaci, Director of Sales at Park Grove, gave the kids their tickets to the game at the Barnyard at Coconut Grove Cares, who, in turn, presented them with a big thank you card for taking them to the game.

The buses then shuttled the kids off to American Airlines Arena for the Heat game and returned them back to the Barnyard at Coconut Grove Cares following for their parents to then bring them home.

This is the first in a series of efforts for the future residency, Park Grove, to give back to its community.

For the second course, diners can choose from sea salt roasted beets served with Greek yogurt, honey cured pistachios and a blood orange syrup or smooth and creamy burrata served atop fresh frisee, pancetta and a basil tomato emulsion.
Main course selections include a rack of lamb with polenta and mint pesto, grilled grouper topped with a delicious pinot noir reduction with capers and cured tomatoes, or cedar key clam tagliatelle in a simple butter and pinot grigio sauce featuring garlic and cherry tomatoes.
To conclude the meal, a crisp turnover filled with fig and dates topped with chocolate, caramel and smoked sea salt is the perfect combination of sweet and savory.
Oltremare blends the rich coastal flavors of Italy with the fresh seafood delights of the Florida Keys. The restaurant balances a picturesque ambiance perfect for an afternoon with family and friends. Their special prix-fixe menu will be offered Sunday, March 27th from 11:30am to 8pm for $59 per person plus tax and gratuity.

What we found was an urban oasis, with tall concrete walls and laden with the artistic language of the streets… Graffiti. We are capturing the essence of this powerful space and transforming into our own concrete garden. Music will be at the forefront as we present some of Miami’s most talented music selectors showcasing an array of musical styles aimed at defining this space that is truly underground in its nature. The focus will be on the aesthetic of an urban environment, as Siglo Events will be unveiling new murals that will further elevate the space. Come and visit a very special new location that has us extremely excited for what is yet to come. Remember… its only a secret, if you keep it!

Event is strictly 21+

Body & SOUL is here because of music: music we love, music we share. Music that can touch us in the most intimate way. Body&SOUL was founded in 1996 by François K. and John Davis, went on for the first six years as a Sunday afternoon party at Club Vinyl and soon became one of New York City’s most revered club parties. The three DJs, Danny Krivit, Joaquin ‘Joe’ Claussell and François K. delivered a unique soulful mix of very organic and spiritual dance music grooves, and became standard-bearers for New York dance music. On any given Sunday at Body&SOUL, people from all walks of life, ages and races, raised their hands in the air and gave thanks for the unifying force that brought them back week after week: the music.

Now looking back on 20 years of history, having taken the Body & SOUL experience to Summerstage in Central Park (3 times!), to Tokyo where this year marks our 15th Anniversary in Japan, to Osaka, Singapore, Naples, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Lyon, Marseille, Cannes, Geneva, Madrid, Croatia, Kefalonia, Belgium, Rio de Janeiro, Miami, Los Angeles and San Francisco… our hearts are filled with joy from all the love we have received from our growing worldwide community. This year 2016 we are starting the celebrations with Miami, Naples, Amsterdam and Tokyo in the spring and will be announcing new dates shortly for this 20th Anniversary tour. Stay tuned, the journey continues…

About Jump N Funk
Jump N Funk, America’s original Afrobeat party, was born of the collective vision and efforts of Rich Medina, Debbie Sealy and Trevor Schoonmaker. The idea was to raise awareness around the King of Afrobeat, at a time when many were unaware of Fela Kuti, his music and his legacy. Rich Medina combined forces with his studio production partner Mark Hines (The Marksmen) to expand the JNF experience with live video and instrumentalist performance elements. It has become an amazing presentatino of sight and sound unique to JNF.
Medina has cemeted his reputation as an elite DJ taking audiences on a sonic journey through Hip Hop, House, Soul, Afrobeat, Funk, Breaks, Rare Grooves and Dance Classics.
JNF has grown from an intimate afterwork gathering, to an event avidly attended by hundreds in venues around the glove, including Italy, London, Paris, Tokyo and more.

Jazz at MOCA presents soul legend Timmy Thomas and the Overtown Soul Review, with special guest vocalist Cina Jones, in a FREE performance March 26 from 8 to 9:15 PM at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 770 NE 125th St., North Miami.

Lightning Has Struck Twice. Soul Legend Timmy Thomas, who serenaded the world in 1973 with his million-selling smash “Why Can’t We Live Together,” has conquered the world again. Thanks to Drake’s beyond-obvious sample of “Why Can’t We Live Together” in his monster worldwide hit “Hotline Bling,” the world is dancing yet again to Timmy Thomas’ groove. 2016 will find Timmy Thomas releasing a string of singles on Overtown Records and one on Saustex Media, prior to his comeback album. His collaborators range from the late Steve Jobs to Timmy’s old hitmaking crew at TK records. They were recorded in the manner Soul Music deserves: Living and Breathing on analog tape – so it may be released on vinyl. Timmy Thomas famously sang “People Are Changing” on his first LP. The people may have changed, but their love of his soulful groove remains the same.

“Timmy’s song [’Why Can’t We Live Together’] resonates now more than ever-ever,” says NPR. For more information visit mocanomi.org or call 305-332-2623. Music program is curated by KCC Productions.
