Cost: $25-$50

Tigertail, as part of its April-long FIRE festival, presents noted NYC-based choreographer Reggie Wilson with his dance company, Fist and Heel Performance Group, at Miami-Dade County Auditorium to perform CITIZEN.

In this work, Wilson asks, “What does it mean to belong?” and “What does it mean to NOT want to belong?”, core questions of Reggie’s investigations for this new evening-length dance work. In CITIZEN, Wilson drills down into the human desire to belong with exponentially expanding questions: “Do the injustices in today’s America engender a feeling of belonging? What supports belonging? Is belonging solely something internal, inside the individual? Is a sense of belonging or not belonging, a private or a public matter?” CITIZEN promises to engage and compel while igniting perspectives on our compassion and humanity.

“CITIZEN drove its heart-stoppingly relentless message home without firing a shot or saying a word.” —The Philadelphia Enquirer

April 16 at 7 PM: The French Horn Collective comes to Arts Garage in Delray Beach. They are an energetic and progressive band that performs an eclectic variety of Gypsy Jazz, Swing, and modern original French music throughout South Florida. Led by Parisian Musician, multi-instrumentalist, composer, singer and songwriter Vincent Raffard, the diverse group consists of anywhere from 3 to 8 highly talented musicians from a myriad of musical backgrounds, with instrumentation including Trumpet, Guitar, Violin, Double Bass, Clarinet, and Vocals. Their wide variety of musical influences, ranging from Gypsy Jazz, Hot Swing, Ska, to Polka, result in the band producing a smooth mixture of progressive Gypsy/Parisian/Swing/World Music.

“A perfect stylistic harmony and a fluent technique are the results of this complex energy named “French gypsy jazz”.” French Culture Miami

“sweet sounds and killer music ” worldredeye.com

“The French Horn Collective are the coolest hipsters in town but they’re not making a style statement. They are just naturally, enthusiastically, undeniably vintage in their tastes and panache. They’re so cool, in fact, that Johnnie Walker recently filmed them for a commercial. ‘We are artisan musicians, and that’s what we have to do,” said [leader Vincent] Raffard, “to play our best all the time.’ ” Sarah L. Mason

April 22 at 8 PM: Arts Garage presents Oriente, Miami’s outstanding Latin jazz band.

Conceived by Cuban-born guitarist/composer Eddy Balzola after years of touring with show bands, reggae and Latin bands, Las Vegas clubs etc., Oriente’s signature sound features funky, guitar driven tumbaos, blazing harmonic brass, and explosive Afro-Latin percussion – fusing Cuban roots with Blues, Jazz, Caribbean and Brazilian influences. Their first New Orleans concert at world famous Snug Harbor Jazz Club created a major buzz, attracting local musicians and world class audiences excited by their new Cuban roots fusion. That New Orleans scene, drenched in roots music torn from the soul of the streets, in combination with the band’s deep Cuban roots heritage, thoroughly impacted Balzola and continues to influence Oriente’s creative, hard-driving and soulful sound.

Arts Garage is located at 94 NE 2nd Ave in Delray Beach. Tickets are $30-$40-$45 at artsgarage.org. Their email is info@artsgarage.org and the box office phone is (561) 450-6357.

Max Boot, the Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow in National Security Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, will be the featured speaker as part of the Dr. Bernard & Jeanette Gordon Halperin Memorial Lecture Series. Mr. Boot will appear on Sunday, April 30, 2017 at 4:00pm in the Abess Sanctuary at Temple Israel.

A frequent guest on MSNBC, Max Boot is an independent thinker who writes prolifically about history, defense strategy, and foreign affairs. Mr. Boot is far more than an accomplished historian. He is engaged in current foreign policy challenges and debates.

He is frequently called upon to advise national leaders with respect to defense and foreign policy matters. Most recently, he served as a foreign policy adviser to Senator Rubio’s 2016 campaign. Previously, Mr. Boot advised Senator John McCain and Mitt Romney. The New York Times has called him, “A master historian,” and The Wall Street Journal has referred to him as, “A penetrating writer and thinker.”

Max Boot is a military historian and foreign-policy analyst who has been called one of the “world’s leading authorities on armed conflict” by the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Max Boot’s latest book—The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam—is due out in early 2018 from Norton/Liveright. The Jeane J. Kirkpatrick senior fellow in national security studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, Max Boot is the author of three previous, widely acclaimed books: The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American Power (2002), War Made New: Technology, Warfare, and the Course of History, 1500 to Today (2006), and, most recently, the New York Times best-seller Invisible Armies: The Epic History of Guerrilla Warfare from Ancient Times to the Present (2013). Max Boot is also a contributing editor to The Weekly Standard, USA Today, and The Los Angeles Times, a blogger for Commentary, and a regular contributor to The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and many other publications. Max Boot has advised military commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his books have been assigned reading by the military services. Max Boot was a senior foreign policy adviser to John McCain in 2007-2008, a defense policy adviser to Mitt Romney in 2011-2012, and a foreign policy adviser to Marco Rubio in 2015-2016. Max Boot graduated from the University of California, Berkeley (BA, history, 1991) and Yale University (MA, history, 1992). Born in Moscow, he grew up in Los Angeles, and now lives in New York City.

ARTUNDRESSED – THE CONCEPT
Take a great selection of creative, sensual, thought-provoking work of art; mixed it with alluring fashion; then throw in some sexy, bumping, soulful music; and blend it with a cast of highly talented and gifted bunch of erogenous performers… Bundle it all together, and there you have it: ARTundressed!

ART SELECTION
Although the atmosphere at ARTundressed circles around interaction with ideas and concepts that engage its attending audience, one of the most important aspects of the festival focuses greatly on the art selection process. ARTundressed attracts and exhibits skilled artists who are established and recognized; talented artists who are less popular; as well as junior and freshmen artists who are breaking through and providing a new perspective into the genre of creative nude art. The selection process is split into 4 parts categorizing a curated compilation made up of: A Presenting artist; Featured and Invited Artists; as well as juried artworks. To guarantee the best outcome, the collection of art is chosen by knowledgeable art experts and curators from some of the world’s most prestigious art museums and galleries.

ENTERTAINMENT
We will have an incredible entertainment line up this year with a different theme each of the 3 days of the art festival. Our Sensual performances will delight and tantalize all your erogenous spots.

THE EXPERIENCE:
*** Celebrating the sensual aspects of Art + Music + Fashion + Entertainment

One man. One year. One chance to change America. 1964 was a pivotal year in American history and Lyndon Baines Johnson sat at the center of it all. A master politician with towering ambition and ruthless tactics, the conflicted Texan will do whatever it takes to get the Civil Rights bill passed and secure his re-election. Meanwhile, in faraway Vietnam, a troublesome conflict looms. The winner of the 2014 Tony Award for Best Play, this gripping drama captures the critical moment that marked the end of an era and the shift to the political climate of today. Go all the way with LBJ, Martin Luther King, Jr., J. Edgar Hoover, Hubert Humphrey and more in this action-packed, electrifying portrayal of one of the most tumultuous times in our country’s history.

Performances Wednesday – Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 3 p.m. A special weekday matinee is scheduled on Wednesday, March 29 at 2 p.m.

A honored graduate of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers and the Horace Silver Quintet, he has been a valued collaborator with jazz artists such as Toshiko Akiyoshi and Charles McPherson; Latin music icons as diverse as Hector LaVoe and Lila Downs; and pop luminaries such as Prince.

Stan Slutsky
From Op to Pop
A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Stan Slutsky skillfully employs geometric shapes in his “op” artworks that are rooted in Egyptian and classical Greek antiquity. His sense of humor, evidenced by his 3 dimensional sculptures of everyday delicacies, makes for a fun and interesting exhibition.

Virginia Fifield
Pneumatikos – A Spiritual Gift
Broward County resident Virginia Fifield’s seemingly familiar subjects in her charcoal drawings encourage a deeper contemplation about man’s relationship with nature. Her work is deliberately devoid of context and color to strip away all stylized associations to her subjects.

Alisa Grodsky
My Life as an Artist: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Recently relocating from New York City, Alisa Grodsky’s exhibition tells the story of her life as a professional artist and her unique ability to articulate a message.

Cost: $18 Next Generation Members $25 Opening Seating

Hosted by NEXT GENERATIONS, Actor & Jewish Culture Activist Avi Hoffman and adjunct professor of theatre at Florida Atlantic University, Lynn University, and Broward College, Bruce Linser will perform a reading of Address Unknown by Katherina Kressman Taylor, the story of a friendship between a San Francisco-based Jewish art dealer and his former business partner, who has returned to Germany as the Nazi Party comes to power. As these dear friends become ideological enemies, one commits a cowardly betrayal while the other plots an ingenious – and deadly – revenge. The play demonstrates how the seeds of prejudice take root in an atmosphere of hatred. This performance is part of Avi Hoffman’s 2017 Yiddishkayt Initiative programming which focuses on education, entertainment, tolerance, and Holocaust awareness.

300 + CRAFT BEERS IS NO JOKE AT
SPRUNG CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL

It might take place on April Fools, but when it comes to pulling together a unique lineup of beer from around the World, Sprung Craft Beer Festival doesn’t joke around. This free spirited approach to some serious beer tasting of over 300 craft beers will take place on April 1 and will overflow with unlimited beer samples, live music, food and games! It’s time to get Sprung!

This year, the festival put together an incredible beer lineup that includes New Belgium, Founder’s, SweetWater, Green Flash, Sierra Nevada, Brooklyn Brewery, Kona, Magic Hat, Shiner, Shipyard, Harpoon, Blue Moon and others looking to showcase their spring and summer ales. Representing Florida will be Wynwood Brewing, Biscayne Bay Brewing, The Tank, J. Wakefield, Concrete Beach Brewing, Cigar City, Miami Brewing Company, Tequesta Brewing, Hialeah Brewing, Funky Buddha and M.I.A. Beer enthusiasts will also be treated to a selection not available in South Florida, and in keeping with tradition, the homebrew section will showcase brews created by locals who are passionate about their beer. Aficionados know to keep an eye on homebrew participants, because more often than not, they end up opening a brewery of their own.

The Kitchen Lab will feature four notable chefs who will conduct a cooking demo that either uses beer as an ingredient or pairs well with beer.

$45 at the door (general admission). To purchase tickets online, go to
www.SprungBeerFest.com. Ticket options include Beer Socialite ($70) and VIP ($90). Follow SWARM and Sprung! via @IGotSprung, #IGotSprung, @SWARM_EventAgency

The Stanley Jordan Trio Comes to South Florida 4/8/17

3100 Ray Ferrero Jr Blvd,
Davie, Florida 33314

Cost: $40

South Florida Jazz, South Florida’s premier modern jazz organization is thrilled to present The Stanley Jordan Trio on Saturday April 8, 2017, 8:00 PM. This concert will take place at the Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus, 3100 Ray Ferrero Jr Blvd in Davie. Tickets are $40 ($10 for students under 25 with valid I.D.) and can be purchased online from http://southfloridajazz.org or by calling 954.462.0222.

In a career that took flight in 1985 with immediate commercial and critical acclaim, guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan has consistently displayed a chameleonic musical persona of openness, imagination and technical wizardry that sets him apart from every known guitarist. His music also is imbued with a combination of passion, sensitivity, humor, daring, and sheer brilliance. Whether bold reinventions of classical masterpieces or soulful explorations through pop-rock hits, to blazing straight-ahead jazz forays and ultramodern improvisational works—solo or with a group—Jordan can always be counted on to take listeners on breathless journeys into the unexpected – sometimes playing the piano simultaneously!

In the mid-1980s, Stanley hit the scene much heralded because of his extraordinary, even revolutionary technique and virtuosity. Curiously, he remains under-recorded as a leader. Early acclaim and a nagging desire to do more than tour has led this shy and retiring artist to eschew the limelight. While many of his dates are solo performances, he will appear for South Florida JAZZ with an exciting trio with the extraordinary bassist Charnett Moffett and drummer Kenwood Dennard, both long-term associates.

Funding for this organization is provided in part by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council.

The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), North Miami is featuring Karina Iglesias as part of the monthly â€œJazz at MOCAâ€ series.

A veteran of the Miami live music scene, Iglesias has highly-focused artistic vision, rich cultural background and proclivity for harnessing a wide range of production techniques, which showcases her strong elements of innovation and brings a much-needed return to the authenticity of pure soul music.

In 2013, Iglesias was selected as a top contestant on NBCâ€™s hit show â€œThe Voice.â€ Her incredible performance of â€œItâ€™s a Manâ€™s Manâ€™s Manâ€™s Worldâ€ turned into a YouTube sensation overnight, and every judge had glowing comments after her performances. In 2012, Iglesias sang a duet with Franco de Vita and was featured in his live DVD album, â€œEn Primera Fila,â€ which won two Latin GRAMMY AwardsÂ®. She has also shared the stage with artists including Beatriz Luengo, Alejandra GuzmÃ¡n and Gilberto Santa Rosa. The public is invited to come sit under the stars and enjoy the pure soul music of Iglesias.

Karina Iglesiasâ€™ sound mirrors the diverse musical and cultural influences that have shaped her character and forged her individuality as an artist. With a style equally informed by rhythm & blues, boleros, gospel and hip-hop Karina delivers her performances with the intimacy of a deep soul crooner and the conviction and drive of a dauntless female singer/songwriter. 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.

In 2013, Karina was selected to be a top contestant on NBCâ€™s #1 TV Show â€œThe Voiceâ€. Her epic performance of â€œItâ€™s a Manâ€™s Manâ€™s Manâ€™s Worldâ€ turned into a YouTube sensation overnight and every judge had glowing comments after her performances. Wth 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.

â€œI felt like for the first time on the show, that possiblyâ€¦, the light fixtures were just gonna explode, because [she is] a great singer and [she] really deserves to be here, so congratulations.â€
(Adam Levine, The Voice)

Mad Cat Theatre Company presents Vaclav Havelâ€™s Protest and Audience 3/9/17-3/12/17

Posted on March 6, 2017March 7, 2017 by calendar

Mad Cat Theatre Company presents Vaclav Havelâ€™s Protest and Audience
Thursday, 03/09/2017 – 03/12/2017 08:00 pm – 10:00 pm
SandBox at Miami Theater Center
9816 NE 2nd Avenue,
Miami Shores, Florida 33138
Website
Cost: $15-$30

Mad Cat Theatre Company continues its 17th season with a production of two of Vaclav Havel’s sharp political dramas AUDIENCE and PROTEST.

The subversive Czechoslovakian playwright, Prime Minister & President, Vaclav Havel was in danger of being declared a “social parasite” by the neo-Stalinist regime of Gustav HusÃ¡k when he wrote AUDIENCE & PROTEST back in 1975 & 1978.

AUDIENCE deals with the travails of Havel’s alter-ego Ferdinand Vanek – recently released from jail for anti-government activities. Valek is stuck in the bleak office of the foreman of the brewery where he has been forced into menial labour. The tedious bureaucracy and constant paranoia of life under the Communists have driven the foreman to alcoholism and to the brink of insanity – he is prone to bouts of rage and despair.

In PROTEST, Havel’s alter ego Ferdinand Valek has escaped his hellish office to visit the middle-class home of one of his friends. He is hoping to convince his old friend Stanek to sign a petition renouncing the regime.

Both plays seek to shine a light on the darkness of censorship and tyrannical rule. Donâ€™t miss the show that critics and audiences are raving over!

Directed by Paul Tei and Theo Reyna
Featuring Erik Fabregat, Michael Gioia, Noah Levine, and Pete Smith Rogan

Vaclav Havel’s AUDIENCE and PROTEST is running now through March 12, 2017, with performances Thursday – Sunday 8 p.m. in MTC’s Sand Box located at 9816 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami Shores FL 33138. Tickets available NOW online at www.madcattheatre.org, www.mtcmiami.org and 305-751-9550 during MTC Box Office Hours.

Mad Cat Theatre Company, Inc. is a proud resident theatre company of Miami Theater Center.
