November 21 8 22, 2008 - fvlichelle Ellsworth performs her new work at the Byron Carlyle Theater for two evenings. The
Objectification of Things is part performance art, part ritual and part techno extravaganza. Its purpose is io illuminate the
importance and impact mere objects have in our lives and to give something back to them. Too often "things' are dismissed as
soulless or inanimate, To these familiar charges. Ellsworth reminds us that no person, or animal has the reliability and
predictability of most objects. Ellsworth. an exceptional teacher, was in residence prenously as part of the developmental phase
of this work. The artist conducted research for this new work, guided composition workshops with professional artists in the
wmmunity (offering an exciting opportunity to sample her unique creative processj. and performed anotherfinished workentitled
The Monkey Saddle. This return will build on her work with local artists and continue her rapport with the Miami community that
started a year ago. Approximate performance audience: 750. Ticket will range from $5 - $25. This new piece celebrates the
soulful and reliable nature of things and takes objects from the prop table to the spotlight. These performances will herald a new
form of animism, turn back the clock on Plato, and encourage a celebration of'Yhings', The performance has five major sections:
object pre-existence, object birth. abject life, object death, and object post-existence. The object pre-existence takes place
backstage in a mini object dressing room. The birth section involves an excavation and liberation of the object from amulti-
layered sculpture or womb. As the dancer removes each symbolic layer (rubber, leather or porcelain, for example). the next
layer is unveiled to reveal something of significance to the featured object. The life section employs a mini sound stage, video
camera. green screen, stuntwires, chroma keying, stock video footage, MaxiMSP, a midi controlled instrument, and customized
'object dances' to take the object on a fantastic journey. This journey has its ups and dawns; the object will be exposed to joy.

March 20r" & 21~, 2008-Keo Woolford performs the solo performance 1•LAND at the Colony Theater for two evenings. At
once hilarious, defiant and transcendent; !-LAND weaves together traditional Hawai tan hula. Hip-Hop, Hawaiian talk story and
spoken word, and is acclaimed actor and hula dancer Keo Woolford's moving search for the meaning of heritage in a post-
modern world. In this semi-autobiographical journey, Woolford navigates the many worlds where hula lives, from backyard
parties, to Hollywood kitsch, to the realm of the sacred. Along the way, islands separated by geography and culture collide: a
hotel hula showand a conservatory audition, Catholic high school and an evangelical church service; a momentof pop stardom
and the opportunity to learn from a hula master. 1-LAND was created by Keo Woolford in collaboration with director Roberta
Uno and Hula choreography by Robert Cazimero and Hip-Hop choreography by Rokafella. Estimated audience: 800. Tickets
will range from S5-$25. This work also touches on the AAist's and Directors shared experience of being Pacific Islanders in the
United States. and how often their mutual love and interest in hula was regarded as'hobbyish or'kitsch'. "From the beginning,
we didn t want 1 LAND to be a tourist guide to hula nor to claim there is one Hawaiian identity.' Cazimero s choreography for I
LAND is innovative new choreography within the kahiko orancient hula tradition. This work wantsto bring awarenessto the near
decimation of, and subsequent revival of'Olelo Hawaii, the Hawaiian language. Today; over 27,000 speak Hawaiian at home
and a new generation of fluent speakers have grown up in Hawaiian language immersion schools from age 2 to high school.
Because of the high cost of living in Hawaii, more people of Hawaiian descent now live on the mainland than in Hawai i. In the
2000-03 census data. the Bronx registered the largest numerical increase in Pacific Island migration in the country.
Protect description as revised (if applicable) based upon the Citv Commission approved award:
Changes to projects awarded under the Artistic Disciplines program must sId! adhere to the requirement that the work
is new or has never before been presented in Miami Beach.
There have been no changes to the originally proposed activities.
