Miami Contemporary Dance Company presents a double bill
on the nature of holy war and unholy lies.

October 23 and 24, 2014

In the face of evil and deceit, we choose to fight back through the power of dance.
Join Miami Contemporary Dance Company for a double bill of Not in My Name
and Rooms of Suspicion, two compelling dances that were performed to sold-out houses in Turin, Italy in 2013.

Not in My Name is the creation of MCDC Artistic Director Ray Sullivan, a moving
choreography about holy war and the unconquerable human spirit inspired by months of viewing sacred works of art in Italy. With a new commissioned score by New York composer Kevin Keller.

Rooms of Suspicion is Paolo Mohovich’s look at what happens behind closed doors,
a seemingly private world of trickery, cheating, and the power of suggestion,
all tied up in elegant costumes in beautiful movie-like scenes.

Cost: Free

During your FREE drop-in consultation, find out more about Scalp Micro-Pigmentation and see if it’s right for you!

Come in to speak with a practitioner about the treatment, get price quotes and set a treatment plan.

About Scalp Micro-Pigmentation (SMP):
SMP was developed as both a cosmetic procedure for men suffering with all types of hair loss, and as a medical procedure to help conceal scars, burns and birthmarks, as well as the full spectrum of alopecia strains. During a SMP procedure, a blend of specialist pigments is deposited into the dermal layer of the skin on the scalp. Using a highly sophisticated combination of angles, penetration depths, deposit sizes and pigment shades, these deposits create an extremely realistic illusion of real shaven hair on the scalp.

About HIS Hair:
HIS Hair Clinic is an internationally recognized, specialist hair loss treatment clinic, with prominent locations in major urban centers around the world. Each clinic complies with (and exceeds) all core professional standards of effective treatments, cleanliness and health and safety. They are always opening new clinics further afield, to enable even greater access to our unique SMP treatment for hair loss.

Breast cancer is manageable and preventable. The key is early detection. However, studies have shown that minority women in Miami-Dade are less likely to seek preventative breast health care.

The Mammography Art Initiative (MAI) was established at the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine at FIU in 2011 to address the need for better access to affordable breast health services and breast health education for underserved women in Miami. Through the fundraising efforts of the previous two years’ art shows, we have been able to raise over $50,000 in funds and services to sponsor mammograms and follow up care for hundreds of women all over Miami-Dade County.

The MAI has been inundated with support from local artist and the healthcare community. We are continually expanding our program and hope to close this health disparity gap in the near future.

Join us at the with others all over the world to discuss some of the biggest challenges we are facing. Our Miami Meetup will focus on the Social Good Summit theme, #2030NOW, which asks how the use of new technology and new media is shaping creative solutions for solving the main challenges our community faces, thus shaping a better future.

Our goal for the Social Good Summit Miami is to bring together community thought leaders focused on social good, joining the voices and ideas of people around the world. We want to highlight all the good that is already being done here in Southern Florida, tackle challenging questions, exchange information and rally behind the global hashtag, #2030NOW and the local hashtag, #SGSMiami.

Amazing insight from local changemakers in 2013 brought to light issues that we face in Miami. We explored topics ranging from the danger of rising sea levels; how civic innovation leads to economic empowerment; how millennials are creating tools to shape future generations; to practical ways of using technology to bridge the gap between activism and problem-solving. These discussions are particularly important as decision makers map out the next set of overarching goals our community should set.

We cannot accomplish these task alone. We need you. Be a part of one of the biggest, most global and most powerful conversations the world has ever seen.

September is Hunger Action Month. In response, Miami will host a summit to end hunger in South Florida, where 900,000 people go hungry. The event, “What Will it Take to End Hunger” will bring together business leaders, students, government officials, nonprofit organizations, and other concerned citizens to engage in an interactive think-tank discussion on how to end hunger.

The hunger epidemic affects one in four people and is growing rapidly. Florida ranks 12th in the US for food insecurity. Jody Johnson, co-founder of ActionCOACH Team Sage, has teamed up with Feeding South Florida, Joshua’s Heart, the Miami Foundation, Sisters of Charity, city commissioners, and economists to create an event to help end this continuous socio-economic problem.

The event is free of charge and is open to anyone who wants to contribute to ending hunger in South Florida.

The Koi Moon is said to appear when the water is still and words are mere reflections. A blessing to some mystical and disconcerting to others the moon waxes and wanes as does fortune and the fickleness of man.

MANO Fine Art is proud to present a closing reception for Allegories of the Koi Moon, a collective exhibition featuring the work of Long Looi Lee, MANO and Marcy Grosso.

Long Looi Lee was well on his way to becoming an opera singer when he received a scholarship to the Pratt Institute in New York. More than forty years later, Lee continues to incorporate elements of his Asian heritage in his work. Painting koi is both nostalgic and relaxing for Marcy Grosso who recalls feeding the fish in her family’s koi pond flakes of oatmeal when fish food was no longer available in Cuba. MANO is passionate about incorporating unlikely materials in his art; ordinary jute and tree trunks are transformed into extraordinary works for Allegories of the Koi Moon.

MANO Fine Art Project Space is the working studio of Miami-based artist MANO and an exhibition and project space for art related events. MANO Fine Art is one of the founding members of the Bird Road Art Walk that is held on the third Saturday of each month.

City Officials Joined The Related Group to Celebrate a Day of Milestones:

The launch of Paraiso Bayviews by Karim Rashid, and the start of construction at Paraiso Bay and Brickell Heights

The Related Group celebrated three milestones last week with groundbreakings at Brickell Heights and Paraiso Bay followed by the launch of their latest project, Paraiso Bayviews with Karim Rashid. Hundreds of VIP brokers attended the day’s events across Miami, and those involved in preconstruction sales took home more than $9 million in commission checks.

Mayor Tomas Regalado and Commissioner Marc Sarnoff, who were present at the two groundbreakings, congratulated The Related Group’s team on the new projects, which they noted are creating a 24-hour urban core in the Brickell area, and reenergizing the Edgewater neighborhood.

At Brickell Heights, located next to the two-million-square-foot development Brickell CityCentre, David Rockwell has created a sleek glass-walled lobby, glamorous amenity spaces with a private-club vibe, and lavish pool terraces. The 690 luxury residences will sit atop a 30,000-square-foot Equinox Fitness Center and SoulCycle, a state-of-the-art workout studio that will open its first Miami location at Brickell Heights.

At the launch of Paraiso Bayviews, international interior and industrial designer Karim Rashid was on hand to greet the guests. For his second project with The Related Group, Rashid has evolved his trademark colors and bold shapes for a more subdued organic design with softer hues and natural woods inspired in the Paraiso community’s garden bay front setting. Residents of Bayviews, described as the best value within the Paraiso community, will enjoy all of Paraiso’s luxury amenities including a rooftop swimming pool, tennis courts, a beach club, marina, gardens by Enzo Enea, a signature restaurant by Michael Schwartz, and more.

The Paraiso Bay property, set between Biscayne Boulevard and the Bay at NE 31st Street, is East Edgewater’s only master planned community. Celebrities who have already reserved homes there include DJ and music producer David Guetta, basketball star Manu Ginobili, and Spanish tennis legend Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario.

Notable Guests: Karim Rashid, Designer of interiors for Paraiso Bayviews, Celebrity Chef Michael Schwartz, Mayor Thomas Regalado, Commissioner Marc Sarnoff, Carlos Rosso, President of the Condo Division at The Related Group, Sonia Figueroa, Senior Vice President The Related Group, Arden Karson, Senior Vice President The Related Group acquisitions

Long Looi Lee was well on his way to becoming an opera singer when he received a scholarship to the Pratt Institute in New York. More than forty years later, Lee continues to incorporate elements of his Asian heritage in his work. Painting koi is both nostalgic and inspiring for Marcy Grosso who recalls feeding the fish in her family’s koi pond flakes of oatmeal when fish food was no longer available in Cuba. MANO is passionate about incorporating unlikely materials in his art; ordinary jute and tree trunks are transformed into extraordinary works for Allegories of the Koi Moon. View the exhibit, meet the artists and learn more about their work on Saturday, August 9th.

Planet Kitchen Food and Wellness Tour

Posted on    by

Planet Kitchen celebrated its maiden voyage of its Planet Kitchen Healthy Organic Food, Drink and Wellness Tour, highlighting a growing trend towards healthy and sustainable living in South Florida. It also showcased local farms, markets, restaurants and businesses who make real food and drinks to heal us naturally from the inside out. 

Planet-Kitchen-138

We started our tour at Trio Studio, located in between Wynwood & the Design District (Midtown) in Miami. There we had a wonderful grounding meditation to start our journey followed by  an awesome demonstration of Budokon Yoga, AcroYoga, and Aerial Yoga.   Tour participants had an opportunity to get in on the action and try out AcroYoga for themselves.  It was really beautiful to participate and watch.

Planet-Kitchen-96

Afterwards, the folks at Sambazon shared a refreshing fruit, mint and frozen acai concoction called an “acai bowl.”  This superfood charged treat is also non-GMO, Fair Trade and b-certified. We enjoyed it so much, we purchased a bottle that same week.  I’m sure it will be a permanent part of our refrigerator as we support conscious companies and healthy nutrition.  Continue reading “Planet Kitchen Food and Wellness Tour” →

A free event held at Viophilia on Saturday, July 19th 2014 for artists and creatives of all ages and mediums to come together and paint the night away. We set up the perfect environment to generate collaborative work by hanging large scale wood panels and canvases around the room and then covering the floors and walls for easy cleanup. Supply stations are set up with paints, brushes, water, palettes, and paper towels for artists to use throughout the evening.

The goal is to make connections and bonds within the creative community through synergetic expression. Throughout the evening, masters mix with amateurs, curators blend with observers and even non-artists are inspired to participate. By breaking down the individual roles of artist, spectator and consumer the environment influences the final work through a collaborative experience.

Music Monday: Miami Raised Musicians

Posted on    by

gloria-estefan--miami-sound-machine-51dea67c0d411

Having a successful career in music can be a tricky task to accomplish, but the people of Miami have a special spark and flair that gives them the edge they need to succeed. Miami is a hot city filled with even hotter talent, especially when it comes to music!

Gloria Estefan, Trina, Luther Campbell, Trick Daddy and Jon Secada (to name a few) all grew up in Miami and have had tremendous success in the music industry.

Gloria Estefan attended St. Michael-Archangel School and Our Lady of Lourdes Academy in Miami. She also worked at the Miami International Airport as an English/Spanish/French translator in the Customs Department, prior to her success in music.

Trina grew up in Miami and attended the Miami Northwestern Senior High School. She began her career as a model and a rapper in Miami prior to her career taking off when she was featured on Trick Daddy’s second album.

Luther Campbell better known as Luke was born in Miami Beach. Prior to his music career Luke worked as a cook at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Miami Beach, while promoting concerts and bringing together the hottest rap groups in Miami. He also participated in an 8-week study program at the public radio station WDNA.

Trick Daddy, the well-known rapper and producer grew up in Miami as well. After being featured on one of Luke Campbell’s songs from his album, “Uncle Luke,” his career began to take off.

Jon Secada, known as the Cuban American singer songwriter was born in Cuba, but raised in Hialeah, Florida. Secada attended high school at South Florida’s Hialeah High School then went on to Miami Dade Community College before transferring to the University of Miami. He received his bachelors in Music and earned a Master’s in Jazz Vocal Performance.

This list just goes to show, being raised in Miami will give anyone that extra edge they need to conquer the music industry. Miami is due for a new music star! Who will be Miami’s next music sensation? Tweet us some of your favorite upcoming musicians in Miami at @Loop305 with the hash tag #MusicMonday

Benefiting the Lotus House Women’s Shelter
Lotus House Thrift Chic Boutique & Professional and Life Skills Center Grand Opening

Lotus House will be celebrating the Grand Opening of its new designer Lotus House Thrift Chic Boutique, where those who Love to Shop can Shop to Love!, at the new location, which will also serve as the Donations Center for Lotus House. Lotus House Thrift Chic Boutique, an initiative of the Sundari Foundation, serving poor, disadvantaged and homeless women and children seeking a better life, is an essential partner with Lotus House in supporting, uplifting, and empowering women and youth to achieve greater self-sufficiency. Lotus House Thrift Chic Boutique specializes in designer, vintage, like new and gently used clothing, furnishings, collectables and more, all at beautiful prices for today’s cost conscious shopper.

The event will also mark the inauguration of the expanded Professional and Life Skills Center, which provides basic life skills and job readiness training for women and youth at Lotus House. Building on the success of its earlier Retail Job Training program, a hands on “real world” vocational training course that uses Lotus House Thrift as a working classroom, the Center will offer two brand new opportunities for vocational education: a Barista Job Training Program, in collaboration with Wynwood’s favorite Panther Coffee, and an E-Commerce Job Training Program, both of which will be in operation at the Chic Boutique and coming soon.

“Lotus House Thrift and our Professional and Life Skills Center offer us a creative way to build grassroots support and raise public awareness at the same time we empower women and youth to build the foundation for the future and a better way of life,” said Constance Collins, Lotus House Director. “The incredible support we continue to see through donations and purchases help fund the shelter’s job training programs and operations; provide basic clothing, work attire and furnishings for women and children at Lotus House; and provide innovative work development opportunities for women and youth entering the work world and on the path towards self-sufficiency to build brighter futures for themselves and their families. ”

With assistance from local community partner, Panther Coffee, the Barista Job Training program will prepare women at Lotus House to enter the barista and restaurant industry through a fast-paced work environment at the new Barista Bar, soon to be located in the new facilities. The E-Commerce Job Training will allow women and youth to apply career and life skills to the field of e-commerce via a new online retail platform, operating from Lotus House Thrift Chic Boutique. Like Lotus House Thrift, the new Barista Bar and online shopping website will be staffed entirely by Lotus House guests and alumni showcasing the exemplary work of Lotus House women as prospective employees.

Lotus House Thrift will open to the public at its new location on Saturday, May 24 at 10 a.m., and everyone is welcome for a day of shopping or to drop off donations. Receive a 10% discount on all clothing purchases with your donations at the Grand Opening! Regular hours for the thrift shop will be Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Arrangements can be made for pick-up of larger donations by emailing thrift@lotushouseshelter.org or calling the thrift shop at 305-576-4112. Donations are tax- deductible to the full extent permitted by law.

MCCJ is thrilled to announce that this year’s recipient of the Hank Meyer National Headliner Award is Emmy Award winning journalist, Michel Martin. Ms. Martin joined NPR after a long career at ABC News. Her national radio show on NPR, Tell Me More, is powered by her own interest and focuses heavily on topics of race, religion and spirituality.

Martin has had an illustrious journalistic career. After working the local news beat for The Washington Post and becoming White House correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, Martin joined ABC News in 1992. At ABC, she reported for Nightline and was awarded an Emmy for a report that aired on Day One. In 2001, she hosted the PBS show Life 360. Since April 2007, she has hosted the one-hour daily NPR news and talk show, which covers everything from immigration to parenting in a multicultural family. “I am fascinated by people who live lives different from my own, and at the same time, I feel connected to all of these lives being a journalist, a woman of color, a wife and mother,” said Martin.

NPR fans are welcome to register for this breakfast, where they’ll have an opportunity to chat with the journalist. The Hank Meyers Award has traditionally gone to journalists who mirror MCCJ’s mission of creating an inclusive community, including Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Barbara Walters, Tom Brokaw, Leonard Pitts Jr., and last year, ABC’s John Quiñones.

The Honey Shine Mentoring Program will light up the Treetop Ballroom at Jungle Island once again on Tuesday, May 6, 2014 for the program’s signature fundraising event, the 12th Annual “Hats Off” Luncheon. Each year, Tracy Wilson Mourning, founder of the Honey Shine Mentoring Program, its Lady Bug members, and friends, sport their favorite hats at this highly anticipated luncheon held to raise the funds necessary to continue empowering young girls enrolled in the Honey Shine program. This year’s luncheon will take place from 10:30 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Attendees are highly encouraged to wear their favorite hat and Miami chic in order to become walking demonstrations to help young girls imagine, create, and achieve their dreams.

More than 650 are expected to enjoy this year’s décor, reminiscent of Miami’s unique style of chic and this year’s theme “Architects of Our Future: Imagine. Create. Achieve.” Start your engines at 10:30AM and enjoy a welcome champagne reception and silent auction chock with designer and vintage handbags, vacation stays, unique experiences, jewelry and more! Then stroll into the Treetop ballroom where guests will enjoy a noon luncheon, followed by the “Honey Bug” Showcase, the highlight of the event, a spectacular fashion show that illuminates how Honey Shine taps into the spirits of the young women in their care with a bit of love, focus and self-confidence. Sponsored by Coca Cola, the Honey Bugs will be styled by the Melticuleaux Consulting Group and strut clothes provided by Aventura Mall, Bloomingdales, Gap, Gap Kids, MIA Shoes, and Peace Love World.

“What is so exciting about this year, and every year, is that we get to showcase our Honey Bugs,” says Mourning. “I have been to many luncheons in Miami and our Hats Off Luncheon for Honey Shine truly is all about our Honey Bugs. They are the ‘Architects of Our Future,’ so our theme is ‘Imagine. Create. Achieve.’ This is what we want them to do.”

FUNDarte proudly presents new work by Miami artists commissioned by the Knight Arts Challenge Award for New Commissioned Works by The Knight Foundation. These cutting-edge projects showcase new creations by Miami artists in music, dance, film, and interdisciplinary performance, exploring diverse themes and disciplines that express the creative voices of our community.

Resonances, by Jose Luis Rodriguez
May 8th and 9th – On.Stage Black.Box Theater at Miami Dade County Auditorium
July 19th and 20th – South Miami Dade Cultural Arts Center Black Box Theater
Contemporary Flamenco guitarist and composer from Spain Jose Luis Rodriquez performs his dynamic new project Resonancias. The project includes a live performance of original guitar and electronic compositions by Jose Luis Rodriguez , featuring special guest artist Gustavo Matamoros, Alex Jordan on second guitar, and movement interventions by Niurca Marquez that at once instigate, incite, threaten, and invite Rodriguez to step outside of his comfort zone on stage. These are enveloped in the artistry of filmmaker Carla Forte and the dramaturgy and scenic design of Guggenheim Fellowship Recipient Alexey Taran, which functions as a living installation within the work.

A todo color, (work in progress) a documentary film by Randy Valdes
July 11th and 12th – On.Stage Black.Box Theater at Miami Dade County Auditorium
This cutting-edge documentary, produced by fresh, new local media talent Randy Valdes, tells the story of how Cuban artists manage to disseminate their art and truths beyond the boundaries of Cuba. The piece explores the artists’ personal and creative journeys, how their influence defines the artistic language of the Cuban cultural Diaspora, and how each incorporates the influences of their newly adopted cultural environments into the ever-evolving phenomenon of world Cuban music.

Writing In Sand, by Carlos Caballero
August 22nd and 23rd – On.Stage Black.Box Theater at Miami Dade County Auditorium
This experimental interdisciplinary performance invites local collaborators into a dialogue that explores themes of displacement, immigration, trauma, disability, personal crises, and assimilation as a mirror of Miami itself. The piece exposes how artists process and divulge their most pressing personal issues in a game of theatrical lottery, while providing a commentary on life in this multicultural city vis-à-vis the process of creation, artistic and emotional survival, and aesthetic self-development within Miami’s diverse artistic community.

Life is a Song – Yisel Duque in Concert –
September 26th – The Gleason Room Backstage at the Fillmore
Singer-songwriter Yisel Duque’s on-stage performance is an explosion of raw intimacy with personalized rare melodies and rhythmic vestiges of Cuban and Brazilian movements. Yisel’s work is endowed with a rare labyrinth of soothing, intimate, and delicate cadence that grabs you and brings chills up your spine; ironically, at the same time, you’ll feel as though she is whispering her sultry and powerful voice directly into your ear. Yisel’s edgy yet delicate sounds are influenced by the musical worlds of Brazil’s Jobim, England’s Beatles, Cuba’s José Antonio Mendez, the classical music of Yo-Yo Ma, Alternative Rock’s Coldplay, Belgium’s Toots Thielemans, and Jazz great Ella Fitzgerald.

If a single symbol could summarize the iconic work of Leonel Matheu (Havana, 1967), this would be that enigmatic head –a sort of dome- that appears as a constant throughout his work. Self-portrait and collective portrayal of a nation marked by diaspora and dystopia, this symbol embodies the symptoms and stigma of contemporary global society.
With a masterful use of the synthetic graphic design language, Matheu builds up a personal and yet universal iconography that interweaves in intimate fables of our daily existence. Spirituality, technology, passion, solitude, dreams, chimeras and deceptions are at the core of this thoughtful body of works.
“Crossroads of the Dystopia” is the first major museum survey exhibition of this midcareer versatile artist whose work ranges from drawing with colored pencils, ink on paper, oil on canvases, video and multimedia installations, to public installations and qualification of architectural spaces. Presented by Dotfiftyone Gallery and curated by Janet Batet, the exhibition resumes moreover twenty years of work and provides a comprehensive overview of Matheu’s most distinctive imagery.
Leonel Matheu, who presently resides between Miami and Los Angeles, has been one of the figures that have marked the local arts Miami in the last twenty years. He graduated at the Institute of Graphic Design of Havana in 1987. In 1992 he settled in Miami, Florida. His artwork is part of public collections in various art museums, between them are the MOCA-Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami Beach, The Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University in Miami, The Lowe Art Museum in Coral Gables, The Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach, The Young at Art Museum in Davie, Georgia Museum of Art at University of Georgia in Athens, The Mobile Museum of Art in Alabama, The University Art Museum in Radford University, Virginia among others.
