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 Nutcracker”, 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 (Píkovaya 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.

Kicking off the Miami Art Week, Ricieri Art Studio presents a red carpet night for a unique exhibition featuring the Italian-Brazilian Artist Roberto Ricieri on December 1. The Emotions of R. Ricieri will display over 100 works by the artist, including his highly regarded Infinity Series of paintings, as well as sculptures and drawings. Attendees will also enjoy a hardcover book with five of his collections, a documentary movie, his own testimony about his time in captivity and how it led to him becoming an artist.

Born in 1959 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Ricieri has created more than 1,000 paintings, using acrylic on canvas, along drawing with pencil and carbon. He discovered his style and way of thinking about art in prison, which affected his work with real life inspiration and deep emotion. Admired by many, Ricieri never attended art school. As an entrepreneur, he often traveled to Europe and North America where he spent much of his time observing the masters of art in museums around the world.

The Infinity Collections by R. Ricieri are a collaboration between the Tara Art Collection Sylvia White Gallery of Los Angeles California and the Noel Santiesteban. This exhibition beautifully combines his innovative work with fascinating aspects of his life in captivity. The 130-page book titled “Ricieri: The Art Born from Captivity” will be released at the event for purchase. The publication includes 80 full-color paintings by the artist.

Cost: $20.00

California based artist, Blair Martin Cahill exhibits sculptures and other works that present a completely unique art series, from December 2-6, 2015 at SPECTRUM Miami located in the Arts + Entertainment District. Cahill’s work explores the fragile and impermeable through the juxtaposition of dissimilar materials in her work, such as steel and silk, making it clear that strength should not be judged by perception alone. Her new work, which will be debuted at SPECTRUM Miami, is a concise collection of sculptural embroidery with a definite contemporary edge. With Sphere 30, Cahill employs embroidery with vivid sculptural effects — rich blue, greens and silvers permeate delicate silk suspended within a dissected sphere of stainless steel. Suspended over a highly polished base of metal, the sphere appears to glow from within. The center rings of Sphere 30 (48″ W X 80″ L X 45″ H) are some of the largest embroidered areas to ever have been produced. Being shown for the first time, See no Evil, highlights three Japanese ladies embroidered on almost translucent silk in a folding screen of maple and brushed aluminum. The ladies gaze from the screen intently, watching but not passing judgment as they speak, see and hear no evil. Cahill has exhibited extensively this year in the United States and abroad including Apricot Gallery London, UK; Amsterdam International Art Fair; and Governor’s Island Art Fair, New York City; Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, Los Angeles California; Art San Diego, San Diego California.

Opening Preview: Wednesday, Dec. 2 / 6-10pm

Leonardo da Vinci Historical Wine Dinner 12/1/15

Leonardo da Vinci Historical Wine Dinner

900 s miami ave,
miami, Florida 33130
Website
Cost: 100

Following the great success of its first historical dinner inspired by Catherine De Medici, Toscana Divino, the premiere modern Italian restaurant and wine bar located in the heart of Mary Brickell Village, is proud to announce the second in a series of unique wine dinners, this time honoring Leonardo Da Vinci, arguably the most important Tuscan in history.

Most will remember the most eclectic genius of all times as a painter, mathematician, engineer, inventor, sculptor, architect, geologist, cartographer, botanist, writer, among other talents. What you may not know is that Leonardo extensively opined on food, and created original recipes and tools used in modern cooking and dining today.

Travel back 500 years back with us and let Leonardo bring the dinner to life as he interacts with guests and tells his stories on what he was eating, what he thought we should eat, and how he combined food and art. Centuries later, what Jesus and the apostles dined on in Leonardo’s masterpiece, The Last Supper, is still a subject of debate. Leonardo’s favorite foods ranged from exotic foods to what are now staples of the Tuscan and Italian cuisine – and you will have the opportunity to taste them all.

In keeping with Leonardo’s environment and culture, each dish will be paired with Tuscan wine presented by the Frescobaldi Wineries. The history of the Frescobaldi family begins during the same period as the birth of the banking industry in Medieval Florence. The Frescobaldis quickly became the absolute protagonists of political and economic life, earning themselves the right to the title “treasurers to the English Crown”.

The Frescobaldi family started in wine production in Florence at the beginning of the 1300s and quickly garnered a reputation for the highest quality wine. By the 1500’s, the Frescobaldi wines were served at the tables of the Papal Court and the English Court of Henry the Eighth.

In conjunction with Art Basel, the night will feature a display of Alessandro Reggioli, a young and established Italian artist from Florence, whose work was inspired by Leonardo’s lifelong study of the flight and the human heart.

The Leonardo Da Vinci Historical Wine Dinner will be held on December 1st at 8:00 p.m. and cost $100 plus tax and gratuity. For more information, please call 305-371-2767 or visit toscanadivino.com

MIAMI’S YOUNG LEADERS UNITE FOR GOOD
22 Organizations co- host the 4th annual Young Professionals Holiday Happy Hour,
100% of the proceeds benefit PATCHES Miami, FL, December 1, 2015– In the spirit of the season, Miami’s young professionals’ organizations (22 in total) will join forces on Tuesday, December 1st at 6:00 PM to raise a glass and funds for PATCHES. The joint Holiday Party tradition was started in 2012 when a group of friends were inspired to unite the young leaders in South Florida for one cause, and one epic celebration. The event is designed to welcome and include all groups and has true charity at its root purpose. Although many of the participating co-hosts exist to raise awareness and resources for their own causes – for this one event, the groups put their own needs aside and raise funds for an unaffiliated cause. This gesture and united effort embodies the holiday spirit and message.
“Events like the #YoProHHH make me feel proud to be a young professional in Miami because they showcase our value of community. There is a lot more to this event than mere boozing and schmoozing. Hundreds of young professionals from a variety of different faiths, backgrounds and professions will unite to ring in the holiday season in support of a local nonprofit. What is the value of young professionals uniting in this way you ask? Uniting young professionals in this way facilitates in the development of philanthropic values that they will carry on for the remainder of their lives and pass on to the next generation, that’s what.” – Jeffrey Greenberg, Jewish National Fund, Miami-Dade Director
“Giving back is an integral part of my professional and personal life. Like many of the leaders of Young Professionals groups, I am involved in many different organizations as it’s incredibly fulfilling. I was given much and in return love to give back. Realtors are the heart of a community and I strongly feel it is our duty to return to the community what it gives to us.

Massive Urban Art Block Party To Debut In Wynwood. Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood has become synonymous with graffiti, urban art, murals and street art, and it offers a unique way for the public to experience this art form. This year, Mana Wynwood, Mana Contemporary and the Bushwick Collective have teamed up to launch the Mana Urban Arts Project at the iconic RC Cola Plant in Miami. To celebrate this historic occasion, they joined forces with Basel House to host a free, four-day block party during Art Basel Week. The Basel House & Bushwick Collective Block Party will be the epicenter of the graffiti world this December. RSVP for the Launch Party to get a Free Drink.

The Block Party will showcase some of the world’s top street artists including Ghost (NY), GIZ (NY), Case Maclaim (Germany), Shok1 (England), Atomik (Florida), Lola Blu (Florida), Crash One TATS CRU (NY), Don Rimx (Florida), Sipros (Brazil), James Cochran (Australia), Aiko (US/Japan), SPOK (Spain), Hoxxoh (Florida) and Trek6 (Florida), to name a few. These artists will transform the RC Cola Plant with an entire body of new murals and paintings. Artists will be painting live throughout the four-day event. In addition, The Heineken® Mobile Art Experience will make a stop with their branded truck, which will feature a rotating canvas on the outside and a fully stocked art store and gallery on the inside. In addition, a free concert series featuring Fat Joe and other hip hop legends will add to the colorful backdrop. DJ’s, arts & craft vendors will also be present. It wouldn’t be Wynwood without the Food Trucks, so Basel House has secured a swarm of South Florida favorites; from lobster to hot dogs, you name it, they’ll be serving it up!

Curating the collaboration is Joe Ficalora of the Bushwick Collective from Brooklyn. The Bushwick Collective was born on the streets of Brooklyn as a way for Joe to cope with personal tragedy. The Collective transformed a large section of the Bushwick neighborhood into a colorful and vibrant work of urban art. Many of those artists will be making the trip to Miami to help launch the Wynwood location of the Mana Urban Arts Project. “We are proud to showcase some of the best artists from around the world, and we hope to inspire the masses,” explains Joe.

The team at SWARM is known for hosting incredible events throughout South Florida, and Basel House will be no different. “We are honored to be working with the Bushwick Collective and Mana,” says Tony Albelo, SWARM CEO and Basel House Director. “The only way to launch this unique project is with a complete and utter blowout, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

Stef Silva is a singer/songwriter from Miami, FL whose soulful vocals and melodic sounds have helped make her unique in the South Florida music scene.

Driven by her desire to bridge the gap between art and faith, Stef writes about her experiences in life and uses music as a sounding board.

“It’s not just about music. It’s more than that. We as human beings use art (whether poetry, painting or music) to communicate. For me, I cannot separate what I believe from what I create. I give meaning to what I believe when I create. I believe art, like other things in life, is a reflection of our heart. It’s what makes what we create meaningful.”

Join us for a live performance at La Bodeguita Restaurant on Nov 18th at 9pm to listen to Stef Silva live.

“A delightful new holiday tradition” —Talkin’ Broadway

It’s now one year since his miraculous transformation, and good old Scrooge is back to his old ways, or so it seems. Ebenezer is now suing Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future for breaking and entering, kidnapping, slander, pain and suffering, attempted murder, and intentional infliction of emotional stress. It’s the “Trial of the Century” with hysterical courtroom antics. With this all-new, very smart and clever script, worthy of the Dickens original, playwright Mark Brown has created an entertaining, funny and uplifting new tradition for the holiday season.

Performances: Wednesday – Saturday 8 p.m., Sunday 3 p.m.

Based on The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe from The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, this musical adaptation is fun for the whole family, featuring unforgettable songs and popular characters. The story begins with the land of Narnia frozen in a perpetual winter of darkness and despair, seemingly all under the dominion of the White Witch, Queen Jadis, including the intelligent talking animals once ruled by the great and majestic lion Aslan, King of Narnia. Though Aslan is often absent from the land (so that his very existence is doubted by some), he returns when the need for him is greatest, bringing with him an end to the long winter, and making an ultimate sacrifice of love, culminating in a battle between good and evil. Entering at a moment of high adventure in the story are four children, transported from our world through a magical wardrobe.

Baptist Children’s Hospital will present a Teddy Bear Casting Clinic on December 5 following the 2 p.m. performance

“All Kids Included” Sensory-Friendly Saturday Performance: December 12 at 11 a.m.

Kontempo Art invites you to the fine art solo exhibit by Philip Graff Shapiro: Perfection in Imperfection.

As Greek philosophers have stated: The paradox of perfection is that no matter how hard you try, you cannot have perfection, without imperfection. So if it is perfect, it must also be imperfect at the same time. It is this approach to perfection that we perceive in the abstract harmony that Philip masterfully showcase in his artwork.

Philip’s free flowing energy of moods and feelings, driven by his exuberant energy and lust for life, are displayed throughout his artwork. From his vivid color pallet to his remarkable techniques of applying paint, form part of a variety of different abstract works. Philip’s passion for painting and constantly striving to improve is what pushes him to make every piece as perfect as possible.

Kontempo continues with its tradition of promoting emerging artists who are quickly capturing the attention of contemporary art lovers.

inspired by James Cameron’s AVATAR

TORUK – The First Flight
written and directed by Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon

Will be presented in South Florida: BB&T Center in Sunrise on March 3-6, 2016 and at the American Airlines Arena in Miami on March 10-13, 2016

The new Cirque du Soleil touring show inspired by James Cameron’s record-breaking movie AVATAR, TORUK – The First Flight, will be presented at the BB&T Center in Sunrise on March 3-6, 2016 and at the American Airlines Arena in Miami on March 10-13, 2016, as part of a global tour in arenas around the world starting November 2015. The show is presented by Visa Signature®.

The show
TORUK – The First Flight is a live immersive multimedia spectacle that brings to the stage the breathtaking world of James Cameron’s AVATAR like you have never seen it before.

Through a riveting fusion of cutting-edge visuals, puppetry and stagecraft buoyed by a soaring cinematic score, Cirque du Soleil applies its unique signature style to James Cameron’s imaginary world and “makes the bond” between two kindred artistic visions that capture the imagination.

This live immersive experience also bears the distinct signature of directors and multimedia innovators Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon. It is a living ode to the Na’vi’s symbiotic coexistence with nature and their belief in the basic interconnectedness of all living things.

Narrated by a “Na’vi Storyteller” and populated by unforgettable characters, TORUK – The First Flight is a mythical tale set thousands of years before the events depicted in the film AVATAR, and before any humans ever set foot on Pandora.

When a natural catastrophe threatens to destroy the sacred Tree of Souls, Ralu and Entu, two Omaticaya boys on the brink of adulthood, fearlessly decide to take matters into their own hands. Upon learning that Toruk can help them save the Tree of Souls, they set out, together with their newfound friend Tsyal, on a quest high up in the Floating Mountains to find the mighty red and orange predator that rules the Pandoran sky. Prophecy is fulfilled when a pure soul rises among the clans to ride Toruk for the first time and save the Na’vi from a terrible fate.

Ticket information
TORUK – The First Flight will be presented at the BB&T Center on March 3-6 and at the American Airlines Arena on March 10-13, 2016. Tickets for those performances will be on pre-sale for Cirque Club members beginning today, November 4. Public on-sale will start November 13 at 10:00am.

Failure in business is when you realize what you’re doing is not going to work, and the pivot that follows is key to success. In Silicon Valley and New York, failures are famously celebrated and treated as valuable learning experiences. However, in many U.S. and Latin American cities with nascent entrepreneurial ecosystems, the term “failure” remains taboo.

This year’s Global Entrepreneurship Week, YPA Miami and Luminary Central bring you local entrepreneurs from various sectors to share their stories of success—peppered with failures both large and small—for a conversation aimed at breaking the taboo.

Join us on November 18 @ The Lab Miami as we discuss with high-profile entrepreneurs how their failures led to their subsequent success, and their learnings along the way. Luminary Central and YPA Miami have joined forces to present this panel discussion in an effort to lessen the taboo of “failure” and celebrate the value in its learnings.

Michael “Mike” B. Fernandez, Chairman, MBF Healthcare Partners

Miami International Auto Show is back for its 45th edition with more surprises than ever. Vitamin C Communications and one of the highest luxury brand cars is inviting you to come view live performances by the newest up-and-coming Latin Music artists on Friday, November 13, Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15. The guests will enjoy the shows while exploring what the new car models have to offer. A meet and greet with the artists will also occur after each performance.

The Miami International Auto Show is considered among America’s top five auto shows. This year Vitamin C and their partners introduce four of the hottest emerging Latin Music artists in the industry. The first performance by Javier Garcia on Friday, November 13 at 7 PM kicks off the event. Garcia utilizes his talents as a composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and singer, to bring together various genres and craft them into his own unique sound.

Saturday, November 14, brings two exciting performances. Tomás Diaz, at 2 PM, a musician from Cuba, starts off the evening. A member of The Spam Allstars, Diaz’s influence by greats such as Jimmy Hendrix, Bob Marley, and Celia Cruz, as well as his experience collaborating with world-class musicians and his undeniable love for music, led him to his successful musical career. The second performance commences at 7 PM by Viva Más, a musical group from the Latin streets of Philadelphia. The group, consisting of five guys, stands out due to their rich harmonies and Latin rhythms, as well as their passion for music and unconditional need to share it with the world.

Last, but definitely not least, Sonlokos closes this year’s Miami International Auto Show at 5 PM on Sunday, November 15. The emerging Latin group formed in 2012 and already received a Latin Grammy Award nomination for Best Traditional Tropical Album this year for “Locos por el Son.” Guests who stick around till the end will have the opportunity to meet & greet each artist.

Help support programs dedicated to eliminating the digital divide and the homework gap in Miami. EveryoneOn, a national nonprofit supported in significant part locally by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, is participating in GiveMiamiDay 2015, a 24-hour online fundraiser to help energize its local activities to connect low-income families to affordable high-speed home Internet. For many Miami-Dade students, sitting in a McDonald’s parking lot, a city park, or riding public transportation is the only way to complete homework assignments. This not only puts them at a disadvantage, but keeps the family from accessing opportunities and information which could open doors to a brighter future. Don’t let Miami-Dade families rely on unsecure mobile phone Internet or public wifi, get them connected!

Cost: $10; free with student ID

In collaboration with the St. Bede Episcopal Chapel, FETA Foundation presents Andy Lee in a contemporary piano performance. The program opens with a piece by Greek-Canadian composer Constantine Caravassilis, Fantasia No. 5, Lumen de Lumine. Inspired by the church bells of Pythagorion, the music seems to emerge from the depths of the piano into lush chords and repeating figures. The second work, Scott Unrein’s “bird-drawn in the sky of light,” was premiered by R. Andrew Lee in 2013 during his UK tour. Written in discrete musical cells, the performer is afforded the freedom to choose what elements of each cell are played and for how long. The second half of the program will be Adrian Knight’s “Obsessions.” Commissioned by Lee, this work presents an extended exploration of stubborn habits, routines, and patterns layered over Knight’s beautiful, extended harmonic language. Do not miss an opportunity to interact with the composer himself, as he is flying in to attend the concert!

Cost: $10; free with student ID

In collaboration with the Harold Golen Gallery, FETA Foundation presents Stephen Marotto in a program of music for solo cello and electronics, all of which explore the boundaries of the instrument in a unique way. “In ImagE, Roger Reynolds creates beautiful textures that juxtapose the natural harmonics and resonance of the instrument with virtuosic grace note flurries. Mark Andre knits a delicate sound world, most of which occupies the space on the threshold of silence in iv 2. The music utilizes physical gestures on the instrument that are precisely mapped out, mediating un-pitched materials to create tension. In contrast, Mourning Fog by Rand Steiger features beautiful melodic figures derived from distinct harmonic spectra. The cello is augmented by live electronics. The cello sounds are recorded, processed and then recombined. The final piece, Salvatore Sciarrino’s Ai Limiti Della Notte unleashes the tensions hidden in the residuals of the strings.”

About the Lecture

The 5Es in Leadership

Lecture Abstract:

Explain, through personal experiences, how effective leaders balance the 5Es:

Envision: imagine the “possible” future – to change the rules of the game
Engage: gain the enrolment and commitment of the team
Energize: inspire people to deliver the future
Enable: build people’s capabilities to achieve better results
Execute: make things happen through Strategy, People and Operations.

Participants leave inspired with simple, but potent, leadership concepts which can enable “anyone” to be a leader (when required).
