Since 2005, PULSE Contemporary Art Fair has been the premiere satellite fair for the discovery and acquisition of cutting-edge contemporary art. With annual editions in Miami Beach and New York City, the fair cultivates a supportive environment for its international community of galleries and provides a platform for their growth and expansion in the contemporary art market. From its inception, PULSE has presented thoughtfully-curated exhibitions and ever-evolving programming that reflect the fair’s commitment to making the visitor experience a dynamic one.

PULSE Contemporary Art Fair is delighted to announce its 2014 Miami Beach programming highlights and PULSE Prize nominees for its tenth anniversary edition. With over 170 exhibiting artists presented by a select group of exhibitors from Asia, Europe and the Americas, PULSE Miami Beach will offer visitors a dynamic environment in which to discover and collect cutting-edge contemporary art.

PULSE Projects, the fair’s presentation of large-scale installations and performance, will feature a piece by Ontario-based artist Shayne Dark, presented by Art Mûr. Tangle Wood (below), Dark’s meditative 8x18x10’ painted wood sculpture, is a reference to log driving on North American rivers in the early part of the century. Jenna Spevack will also present Birds of Brooklyn, an audio installation that brings the sounds of displaced and bygone birds to sites in Brooklyn and Miami, courtesy of the artist and Mixed Greens.

PULSE Play, the fair’s platform for new media and video art, will be presented by Tumblr and curated by new media scholar Lindsay Howard. For PULSE Play, Howard will select a group of artists whose work is thematically linked from among exhibiting galleries. “Video and New Media Art have become essential components of contemporary art collections. The artists included in PULSE Play are experimenting with the aesthetics and technical aspects of emergent technologies, through topics such as religion, poetry, human form, light, and performance,” explains Lindsay Howard. The PULSE Play selections will be on view on PULSE’s Tumblr, and at the fair.

PULSE is honored to present the PULSE Prize—a cash grant awarded directly to a jury-selected artist of distinction who is being exhibited in a solo booth at the fair. The New York 2014 winner of the PULSE Prize was Hassan Hajjaj, presented by GUSFORD | los angeles.

The nominees for the 2014 Miami Beach PULSE Prize are:
Andrea Canepa – Rosa Santos, Valencia, Spain
David Magnusson – Pictura Gallery, Bloomington, IN

Young Patronesses of the Opera celebrated their 59th Annual Gala Cocktail Reception at The Betsy Hotel By Betty Alvarez

Posted on    by

The Betsy Hotel, La Fenice Prosecco, Leatrice Damus, Maria-Rosa Lopez-Munoz & Barbara Reese hosted a Swanky evening of cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at the downstairs B-bar of the The Betsy on South Beach on October 5th, to celebrate the wonderful benefactors snd underwriters of the upcoming 59th Annual Young Patronesses of the Opera Gala “Hat Spats & Pearls… A Toast to the Roaring 20’s.” Guests received a favor of Satin Glow Gold dust by Prestige Cosmetics to carry the sparkle of the evening with them.

The annual YPO Gala – now in its 59th year – is considered among Miami’s oldest and most prestigious black tie affairs. This elegant soiree, organized by Lisa Wheeler, President of YPO and Gala Chairs Laurel Auerbacher, Amal Kabbani, Patty Scerpella, Lori Thomas and Lise-Marie Wertanzl, will feature a silent auction, live entertainment, dancing, and a three-course meal to raise funds for YPO’s music education programs.

The Gatsby-style party will evoke the excitement of the era and many spirited YPO members and guests will forego traditional ball gowns and black-tie for imaginative designs which reflect the era of flappers, starlets, gangsters and aristocrats. During a cocktail hour guests will enjoy an inspired silent auction, followed by dinner, dancing to the 8-piece band, Manhattan Music, and entertainment by the internationally-acclaimed singers Poperazzi.

Founded almost 60 years ago in 1955, YPO is a volunteer group of 100 dedicated women who advocate for music and opera education to children in South Florida. Proceeds raised at Hat Spats and Pearls will be used to fund 100% of YPO’s music and opera educational programs. Every year, YPO presents a workshop for more than 500 Girl Scouts, and a professional development Teacher Workshop on opera in the classroom for Miami-Dade and Broward County teachers. YPO also brings professional children’s opera performances to more than 30,000 elementary students annually. This year, YPO will expand its musical outreach program to children who are hospitalized. In addition, YPO also presents a national voice competition for aspiring young opera singers. This year it is slated for April 16-18 at the colony Theatre on Miami Beach.

For Tickets, sponsorship and underwriting information for Hats Spats and Pearls, please contact Lisa Wheeler at President@ypo-miami.org or at 305-794-1761.

That’s why our motto is “Focused On You”, a unique concept in today’s healthcare environment. We offer complimentary valet parking, beer, wine, and espresso to our patients. Our medical director, Dr. Adam L. Stelzer, has been recognized as a premiere eye doctor in the State of Florida and is the only American Board of Optometry nationally board certified optometrist in Miami Beach.

We created a space where you can relax before and after your exam. We are tired of seeing patients given a number and told to wait in line for far too long. This is a revolutionary twist on the common doctor’s office and we take pride in serving each of our unique patients. We strive to create an unforgettably warm experience, from the atmosphere of the office the moment you walk in, throughout the entire exam, and even while choosing the next addition to your collection of eyewear.

Miami’s Independent Thinkers Local Art Series
Thursday, September 25, 7:00pm – 9:00pm
The James Royal Palm
1545 Collins Ave
Miami Beach, Florida 33139
Please RSVP to RSVP@MIAMITHINKERS.COM

Miami’s Independent Thinkers, in partnership with The James Royal Palm, presents Local Art Series. Join us this month to celebrate local artists David Gary Lloyd,
Michael Zimmerer, and Redinger-Libolt.
Admission: FREE
Complementary cocktails & bites provided by Florida Cookery
Music by Jorge Vicens (DJ V)

Inspired by the sociological effects of the advertising world, David Gary Lloyd unfolds symbolic photographs to challenge the messages conveyed by mass marketing. Lloyd’s works communicate messages of religion in mainstream media, identity complications, human/nature sacrifice, and the effects of mass consumerism. David has also developed “Narrated Moments”, which relate positive outlooks and advice through the homeless, gypsies and street dwellers of Miami, who go against the common grain of society. David received diplomas in Photography and Graphic Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Exhibitions of his work have been held in Venues ranging from Miami, New York and Vermont. Lloyd currently lives and works from the eclectic art neighborhood Wynwood located in Miami. Alongside fellow photographer Michelle Citrin, David Co-owns the contemporary portrait studio Neox Image. http://DavidGaryLloyd.com/

After traveling significant distances, Michael Zimmerer began to see the world differently, especially the wilderness. It was no longer his childhood playground, a resource or a fantasy to explore; but environments that taught, learned and breathed on their own. In each of his projects he is not just documenting where he has traversed, but discovering and exploring what it means to be a place. He wants to encourage the viewer to reconsider their world, be it under the sky or inside their minds. His work is about seeing the world in a new way, not a new angle or a new development, but about vision and understanding. He wants to explore the Earth, and everything involved in it. Zimmerer’s work ranges from telling the story of an elegant land turned dark and decrepit, to the discovery of self, and how easily so many of us lose in ourselves that which seems impossible to really lose. In his images his goal is for people to find their roots in the world, and in themselves.
http://michaelgzimmerer.com/

“Sea Shades”, a photographic series by Redinger-Libolt, the combined talents of Scott and Cristina Redinger-Libolt, explores the personality of our ocean as seen from Miami Beach and how it varies from day-to-day, minute-to-minute. Minimal and graphic compositions are employed in attempts to remove the photographer’s perspective and allow the sea it’s own voice, uniquely expressed in each photograph. Since moving to Miami Beach in 2009, Redinger-Libolt’s photographs have appeared in Ocean Drive, Miami Magazine, Interiors Magazine, Forbes, Conde Nast, Marie Claire and have exhibited photography at Miami Independent Thinkers Satellite Art Fair during Art Basel 2011. http://www.facebook.com/redingerliboltphoto

Miami’s Independent Thinkers is an organization dedicated to the unity, development and promotion of Miami’s flourishing art community. Our assemblage embraces established, emerging and young artists, visionaries and intellectuals. Our mission is to provide a sustainable support base for Miami’s creative community, including: painters, photographers, filmmakers, sculptors, animators, writers, musicians, performance and new media artists.

Ayurveda is the Indian traditional holistic approach to life and health. It roots back more than 5,000 years and is believed by many to be the oldest and more comprehensive health and wellness care system. The central concept of Ayurveda is the theory that health exists when there is a balance between three fundamental bodily humors or doshas called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Every part of us is governed by these three doshas. Skin is no exception. Many skin conditions are thought to be caused by a dosha imbalance. If you know your skin dosha and which dosha is imbalanced, it will be easier to treat any skin conditions you have.

In this workshop, I will teach you the techniques to find out your skin dosha and help you detect any imbalances you may have. I can also help you simply maintain the health of your skin. I will then show you how to correct your skin issues with the help of Ayurvedic herbs and oils, diet, and lifestyle choices.
At the end of the workshop, all students will be able to make their own beauty products based on their skin type & challenges.

In this workshop you will:
1. Learn about the doshas and find out your dosha skin type
2. Learn the 7 beauty steps for healthy skin taught by Ayurveda
3. Learn to align your diet and lifestyle to your skin dosha or imbalances
4. Design your own dinacharya (daily routine) to enhance the health of your skin
5. Learn about the top Ayurvedic herbs for skincare, along with their uses and benefits
6. Formulate and take home authentic Ayurvedic skincare kit based on your dosha (1 herbal face pack, 1 scrub, and 1 cleanser)

Make your own Face & Body Moisturizing Cream

Over time, the sun and hot weather of Florida can really damage your skin, causing premature aging and wrinkles, along with dryness and burns. Skin needs to be nourished and moisturized. In this workshop you will learn to make your own cream to protect, restore, and heal your skin. Too many commercial creams and cosmetics have questionable or even toxic ingredients. When you make the cream yourself, you have clarity and confidence about what ingredients to use.

I will teach you about the benefits of ingredients used in formulating creams from hydrosols and oils to butters. We will go over the different techniques used to make creams (from heavy and deeply moisturizing to light, non-greasy and fast absorbing creams) with or without preservatives. Most importantly, you will get the confidence to make your own creams at home.

In this workshop you will:

1. Learn to treat specific skin issues, such as scars and wrinkles
2. Effectively use herbs in creams using tinctures & hydrosols
3. Learn to make anhydrous body creams (no water)
4. Learn to make creams without any emulsifiers
5. Learn about emulsifiers and emulsifying techniques
6. Learn the properties and benefits of oils, butters, & hydrosols
7. Learn to make water decoctions and medicinally infused oils
8. Make and take home: 1 body moisturizing cream adapted to your skin type and 1 make up remover lotion

Cost: $100

Guitars Over Guns, a Miami-based nonprofit that provides mentoring to at-risk youth through music education and performance, announced today that it will hold its first annual Choose Your Sound benefit concert on Saturday, August 23rd from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM at the Gleason Room backstage at the Fillmore in Miami Beach (1700 Washington Ave). Tickets are available for $100 at http://bit.ly/GOGOGala.

Guitars Over Guns (GOGO) president and co-founder Chad Bernstein launched the organization in 2008 to formalize the ad-hoc mentoring that he and other members of the Miami band Suénalo were providing to local middle-schoolers. In partnership with Communities in Schools, the country’s largest dropout prevention organization, GOGO delivers a results-based, scalable model for bringing the joy and discipline of music-making to young people facing adversity in high-risk environments. Through its weekly programs, professional musicians forge positive relationships with students through one-on-one mentoring and instruction in music theory and performance.

“In addition to developing musicianship skills and strong relationships with local mentors, students who participate in Guitars Over Guns programs do better in school: 96 percent of GOGO students have improved their grades in math and reading,” said Bernstein. “The Choose Your Sound benefit concert will raise money to support our programs so that we can bring the transformative power of music to more students and schools in South Florida and beyond. We are thrilled to have a great lineup of bands and some of our community’s most prominent artists lending their support to our mission and joining us for what promises to be a fantastic evening of entertainment.”

Sponsored by Matusalem, Tito’s Vodka and Bombay Sapphire, the Choose Your Sound benefit concert will feature performances from local bands Suénalo, the Spam Allstars and Tomas Diaz as well as student musicians from the GOGO program. Roxanne Vargas of NBC’s 6 in the Mix will host the event, and singer and actor Jencarlos Canela will make a special appearance. There will also be a fine art exhibition featuring work from internationally renowned artist LEBO (who will create a one-of-a-kind painting to be auctioned that evening), Krave, Bhakti Baxter, Alvin Hernandez and Eva Ruiz, and a silent auction of unique gift packages and donated prizes.

“If I weren’t in GOGO I’d probably be susceptible to gang violence, street fights and drug abuse,” said Amelio Joseph, former student of the Guitars Over Guns Program. It’s just a way for me to express myself, to just get my feelings out there. Life without music is not life at all.”

Bringing People and Art Together
The River Of Art is a monthly gathering place of Miami’s good people, changemakers, activists, innovators, creators, entrepreneurs and artists. More than just an art show, more than just a networker, this is a true cultural social gathering. We use the power of the arts to bring people together to create a community greater than the sum of its parts.
Instagram Hashtag: #RiverOfArt

Featured Artists: Monique Lassooij, Judith Mistor, Alejandro Cuadra, Prince Aderele

Featured Charities: Indie Film Club, Whereby.US

Music by DJ Hank Justice

Supported by Fabulous Miami – YOMiami – SocialMedia305 – PARK Project – You and I Are Love

Each month, Life Is Art brings the community together at our River Of Art pop-up art-in-public-places show to socialize through the power of the arts with the goal of exposing new artists, introducing new people to art appreciation, providing an inspiring space to make new connections, showcasing local businesses and charities, while providing a fun break during the work week. Tongue and Cheek will be providing complimentary tastings and 10% off dinner after the show! The modest $10 door fee goes to support Life Is Art’s mission.

Art is an inspiring talking point, discussing it is a great way to break the ice. Culture is one of the primary elements that build community and hosting a business networker within an art show is a unique way to encourage socializing.

Tastings
Tongue & Cheek will be providing amazing complimentary tastings by world-renowned chef, Jamie DeRosa:
Taquitios of pulled pork, pickled fresno peppers, pico de gallo, queso blanco
Quesadilla of braised short rib, bacon fat black beans, avocado, crème fraiche

Monique Lassooij
Monique Lassooij was born and raised in The Netherlands and moved several years ago to Miami, Florida. Her paintings hang in numerous private collections in the US and abroad. Ms. Lassooij finds her inspiration in colors and how those colors affect the subject whether she is painting on canvas, wood or a wall. Her subjects are often not placed within a context-giving background, allowing a single or combination of colors and geometric shapes to illuminate the chosen topic.

Judith Mistor
Ms. Mistor has a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art from the University of Detroit and Marygrove College, and is the Ceramics/Sculpture teacher at a private secondary school in Miami, Florida.

Her work is also in a number of private collections.

Alejandro Cuadra
Alejandro is a Costa Rican born Fine Artist and Graphic Designer who is currently living in South Florida. When he moved to Florida he obtained an Associate’s Degree in Art and Art Education from the Miami-Dade College and a Bachelor in Graphic Design from Miami International University of Art and Design, but to a large degree his education is a self-taught. He is an artist who enjoys working with different media, among them: color pencil, charcoal, pen and ink, watercolor, oil, acrylic paint and photography and digital art. Alejandro currently works as a graphic designer and as a freelance artist and illustrator. His art is a mixture of dreams and surrealistic memories. Alejandro uses art to express his inner feelings through enigmatic images. Among the themes that he prefers to create are fantastic scenes, science fiction concepts, religious ideas, collages, childhood memories, figure drawing, surrealistic landscapes, and artwork of animals and nature.

Cost: FREE

Called “…the new Latin sound of Miami” by the Miami Herald, PALO! has become a favorite among South Florida’s live music devotees. PALO! plays a style of music they call “Afro-Cuban Funk”. Their appeal lies in their unmatched musical energy, catchy original songs, and amazing display of impromptu virtuosity. A mix of vintage Latin rhythms and contemporary urban sounds gives PALO! their unique, infectious style.

PALO! was formed in 2003 when Steve Roitstein (producer, keyboards) asked musicians Leslie Cartaya (vocals), Ed Calle (sax), Philbert Armenteros (vocals, percussion) and Raymer Olalde (vocals, percussion) to join him in a musical experiment combining Afro-Cuban music and jazz with funk beats.

PALO! currently enjoys a popular residency at Kimbaracumbara in Little Havana. They also perform at Hoy como Ayer, South Beach’s Jazid, Jazziz Bistro at the Hard Rock Casino, the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, and other area venues. They have been featured at private events for clients such as the Kiwanis of Little Havana, Cuba Libre Block Party, Downtown Miami’s Best, the Amigos For Kids Charity, Miami Book Fair International, and events for the City of Miami.

Currently, PALO! is completing their first studio CD, and is being featured on South Florida’s #1 Arbitron rated morning drive radio program, “El Show de Enrique y Joe” on La Kalle, 98.3.

North Shore Bandshell is at 73rd St and Collins Ave, Miami Beach. Show is from 6-9; FREE.

In his dynamic one man show “Miami, Don’t Feed the Natives” Miami’s uber-talented comedian/actor FREDDY STEBBINS, brings seven of his best native personas to life onstage. Sharing their lives, eccentricities, problems, laughs, music and uniquely Miami opinions, Stebbins gives us a comical glimpse at the new type of Natives that call Miami home in the 21st century. From an overenthusiastic divorced Latina diva in Hialeah, to a 93 yr old retired Jewish Stand up-comic, a gregarious yet overbearing anti-Castro Middle aged Cuban Exile, a sexually repressed Anti-immigrant cracker “preacher”, a young pirate radio DJ from Trinidad in Overtown, or perhaps a seance with legendary Puerto Rican astrologer “Walter Mercato” – Freddy Stebbins brings these and other uniquely “305” personalities to life. Coupled with interviews and videos featuring the truly bizarre yet funny oddities of this “jungle” he calls Miami.

During this happy hour we enjoyed recipes from the Fried & True Cook Book which has more than 50 recipes for American’s best fried chicken and wonderful sides.  The recipes we got to enjoyed were: Chef Michelle Bernstein’s Fried Chicken & Watermelon Salad, Chef Dale Talde’s Kung Pao Chicken Wings, Biscuit Love Truck’s East Nasty Biscuit Sandwich, Loveless Cafe’s Hash Brown Casserole and Mary Mac’s Tea Room Tomato Pie.  All were so delicious and I can’t wait to try some of the recipes myself.

fundarte_OITTEcard_1June 25-29, 2014
Miami Beach LGBT Visitors’ Center, Miami Beach Botanical Garden, INKUB8, On.Stage Black.Box Theater at Miami Dade County Auditorium, and The Colony Theater
COST: Poetry Reading and Panel are Free to the Public. (Please RSVP at info@fundarte.us)
The Colony Theater and Miami Dade County Auditorium On.Stage Black.Box are ticketed events. See pricing below.

Now in its fifth season, FUNDarte’s Out in the Tropics is a unique, daring, and artistically outstanding performance festival that features work by some of today’s most innovative and relevant GLBTQ artists.

Calendar of Events:

Wednesday, June 25th – 6PM at Miami Beach Botanical Garden: Cocktail Party
Neil de la Flor reads from his new book “An Elephant’s Memory of Blizzards” – This cutting-edge literary work addresses the process of memory via a hybrid literary language that obscures boundaries between prose and poetry. Poet Carlos Pintado will also read from his work. Both poets will engage the audience in an interactive ‘reading’. The event will be presented in an informal Salon-style in an open-air environment at the magnificent, newly-remodeled Miami Beach Botanical Garden. FREE! Please RSVP at info@fundarte.us

Thursday, June 26th – 7PM at GLBT Visitors’ Center, Miami Beach (1130 Washington Ave, Miami Beach): LGBTQ Community Panel – Cocktail Party
This informative and entertaining panel discussion features all artists participating in Out in the Tropics, along with local LGBTQ artists and activists, providing the local LGBTQ community with expanded possibilities for exploring LGBTQ culture in a safe and encouraging environment. Participants will have an opportunity to meet this year’s visiting artists in an intimate, informal setting conducive to conversation, intimate personal disclosure, and intercultural exchange. FREE! Please RSVP at info@fundarte.us.

Friday, June 27th – 8:30PM at The Colony Theater: “Uncovered: The Diary Project”
Sean Dorsey Dance Company’s “Uncovered: The Diary Project” is a series of powerful dances that reveal the lives and stories that history has tried to erase. This impactful and highly praised work is the culmination of a year-and-a-half long research process in which Dorsey uncovered and researched diaries of transgender and queer people – from the famous to the unknown. Dorsey’s company brings a poetic storytelling and well crafted dance to Miami for the second time!

$25 General Admission, $20 students (under 18) and seniors (over 65), with I.D. Purchase through www.colonytheatremiamibeach.com and by phone 305. 434.7091 (service charges apply), or in-person (no service charges) at the Colony Theater Box Office 1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, Tuesday through Saturday Noon to 5PM. Group rates are available.

Saturday, June 28th at 2PM: Master Class by Sean Dorsey
Most transgender people have never set foot in a dance class, yoga studio, or gym: these spaces often feel unsafe and even hostile toward their unique bodies and experiences. Dorsey’s Master Class provides a space where everyone can experience dance and movement in a supportive environment. The workshop is open to the general community, fostering an environment where all are equally accepted. FREE! Please RSVP at info@fundarte.us. Location TBD.

Saturday June 28th at 8:30 PM and Sunday, June 29th at 7:00 p.m. at On.Stage Black.Box Thetare at MDCA: “TOCABA” by Juan Carlos Lerida.
This new performance by choreographer, dancer and Flamenco scholar Juan Carlos Lerida and collaborators Raul Cantizano & Niño de Elche looks at the possible physicality of a flamenco trio, and breaks open its formalized structures by blurring the lines of the feminine and masculine, detonating the preconceived behaviors of guitarist (TO), singer (CA) and dancer (BA), and pushing the form to its limits. This playful and subversive performance irreverently confronts sacred notions, and feels like a virtuoso grunge band doing flamenco contact improvisation in a post-modern tablao. You will never look at Flamenco the same after this!

$30 General Admission, $25 students (under 18) and seniors (over 65), with I.D. Purchase through www.ticketmaster.com and by phone (800) 745-3000 (service charges apply), or in-person (no service charges) at the Miami Dade County Auditorium On.Stage Black.box day of show starting at 10:00 a.m. and in advance at the Miami Dade County Auditorium, 2901 W Flagler St., Miami, FL 33135 from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Group rates are available by calling (786) 343-1422. A limited number of $50 VIP tickets are available, VIP tickets includes Wine or Champagne and preferred seats.

Sunday, June 29th – 1PM at MDCA On.Stage Black.Box: Master Class by Juan Carlos Lerida.
This class will cover body technique and improvisation based upon flamenco techniques and composition based upon choreographic elements of flamenco. Purpose: to develop and improve rhythmic perception and movement by means of flamenco and contemporary dance techniques. Practice: Using various theoretical and practical exercises, consisting of imaginative and ludic essence, dancers work to generate harmonious, natural relationships, which is fundamental in comprehending the movements and interpretations of flamenco. This class is recommended for dancers who want to add the style and/or aesthetics of flamenco to their creative language. FREE! RSVP at info@fundarte.us

FUNDarte presents Out In The Tropics 2014, featuring “Uncovered: The Diary Project” by Sean Dorsey Dance from San Francisco on Friday, June 27 at 8:30 p.m. at The Colony Theater (1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach); “TOCABA”, by Juan Carlos Lerida, from Seville, Spain, on Saturday June 28th at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday June 29th at 7:00 p.m. at the On.Stage Black Box theater at Miami Dade County Auditorium (2901 W Flagler St. Miami), and other free events, such as poetry readings by two of Miami’s most celebrated poets, Neil de la Flor and Carlos Pintado, in an interactive bi-lingual performative reading on Wednesday, June 25th at 6:00 p.m. at The Miami Beach Botanical Garden (2000 Convention Center Dr., Miami Beach).

Miami Dance Festival Presents: An Evening of Water Ballet 5/15/14

Miami Dance Festival Presents: An Evening of Water Ballet
May 15, 2014 at 7:00 PM
National Hotel
1677 Collins Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33139
Free Admission

Momentum Dancers will be showcasing the water ballet performance Etude as well as the premiere of an all new water ballet at the National Hotel pool deck.

Miami Dance Festival 2014 celebrates its 11th edition in honor of dance as an art form while encouraging innovation and presenting a diverse palette of dance works in an array of genres and styles. This year, the Festival will consist of eight events and one panel discussion (one of the events to be announced in March) with some of the nation’s most talented industry leaders. Established by the Founder & Artistic Director of Momentum Dance Company, Delma Iles, the Festival is a combined effort of her dance company and other dance companies such as The PGK Dance Project (San Diego, CA). Their combined mission is to move and inspire attendees with newly choreographed performances as well as the classics.

Momentum Dance Company will again perform last year’s hit High Tide, choreographed by Delma Iles. The jazzy, modern work demands high energy and stamina from Momentum’s dancers with fast footwork, unusual jumps and lifts as well as constant changes of direction. It premiered last February at the West Florida Dance Festival and made its Miami premiere on Momentum’s 2013 Spring Season at the Colony Theater.

Soloist Emily Noe is expanding her untitled work from last season to include a larger group of dancers, playing with ideas of ghosts and illusion. The exquisite music by Scriabin will be played by Dr. Alan Ngim, one of Iles’ colleagues at the Miami Dade College Department of Arts and Philosophy.

This year’s historic modern dance work is To the West, by modern dance pioneer Eleanor King. This powerful solo will be performed by Momentum veteran and principal dancer Barbie Freeman. It evokes a mountainous western landscape with high cliffs, and deep rivers. The human being is dwarfed and awed by its grandeur, but persists with a courageous pioneering spirit as she makes her way in this glorious new territory. Freeman is being coached by Dr. Andrea Seidel of FIU, who learned the work directly from its creator. King’s work is currently enjoying a renewed interest from dance writers and historians. The original piano score will also be played by guest artist Dr. Alan Ngim.

“Our goal is to showcase dance as an accessible art form,” Says Miami Dance Festival Founder Delma Iles. “We hope to inspire and move our festival goers through the movement of our incredibly talented dancers and industry heroes.”
