Project description as approved by Grants Pane
The Cultura del Lobo Performance Series is an annual project of Miami Dade College, Cultural Affairs.
Cultura del Lobo strives to bring outstanding performing arts events to South Florida. For the upcoming 11-
12 season, Cultural Affairs is proposing a variety of artists from across the globe that represent a diverse
range voices and forms. The 21st Cultura del Lobo Performance Series will invite some of the newest
theater, dance and music and is proposing the presentation of two of the season's artists on Miami Beach at°
the Colony Theater: Argentine songstress and jazz diva Sofia Rei Koutsovitis and New York dance baron
John.Jasperse. Both of these world class artists push the boundaries of their forms, honor traditions
relevant to our multi- cultural multi- lingual community, and introduce voices from beyond our region.
The series focuses on long -term engagements with artists that contribute to our community through
educational programs o`r audience development initiatives. Each performance is supported by a deep
investment in our community and most of the artists in each ye'ar's season share their experiences and
..talents during extended residencies. Each artist in the 2011 -2012 season will work with the Artistic, Director
.and Residency Coordinator to build activities in collaboration with community partners. In this upcoming
season, we will build on already existing relationships with New World School of the Arts, the Miami Light
Project, Prometeo Theater of Miami Dade College, and INKUB8. All of our residency participants are
offered $5 discount tickets to our performance events and we bring audiences from the wider MDC
community to Miami Beach for our shows.
,Cultural Affairs recognizes the need for long -term investment in artists and therefore balances its season
with artists that have had repeated engagements in Cultura del Lobo and Miami, while others will be
performing in Miami for,the first time. Artists' careers range from early to established. Cultura del Lobo also
includes artists preserving traditional art forms and those who take risks'and are developing undefined or
new forms. Because of Miami's particularly high percentage of residents from other countries and- first -
generation immigrants, international work and collaborations are foci for Cultura del Lobo. While typically,
Latin American and Caribbean artists annually: comprise about 50% - 75% of our programming, we keep the
series open to all areas of the world. Cultural Affairs recognizes that the histories, culture and art forms of
Africa; Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the United States are all present in Latin America and the
Caribbean and our programming reflects true diversity.
The proposed 2011 -2012 Cultura del Lobo Series.Miami Beach presentations will feature the following
artists:
Sofia Rei Kousovitis February 4, 20'12 / The Colony Theater (one performance). Originally from
Buenos Aires, Argentina, Kousovitis' work is grounded in traditional South Americah rhythms such as
chacarera, zamba and vidala from Argentina, Afro- Peruvian festejo and la Afro - Uruguayan candombe,
Colombian cumbia and bullerengue and other genres that merge involving jazz harmonies., electronic
sounds and rich. improvisations. Singing in Spanish, Portuguese or English, Sofia's voice is as graceful as it
is sophisticated, tying together diverse influences in a program full of rhythmic complexity, melody and
romance. Her ensemble produces a range of textures as diverse as the cultural roots of its members, an
international cast that includes some of the most exciting young talent from North and South America.
6of10
John Jasperse / Truth, Revised Histories, Wishful Thinking, and Flat Out Lies April 13 $ 14, 2012 --
The Colony Theater (two performances). Influential and innovative, American choreographer John
Jasperse's newest work addresses belief systems, the relative nature of truth, and how we construct
meaning in our lives. With a musical score by Bessie Award- winning composer, producer, and musician
Hahn Rowe, Jasperse develops the visual. design for this production, some of which is inspired by the film
`Who's afraid of Virginia Wolfe'. Known for rich content and a wry approach, Jasperse's choreography
explores heresy, radical ideas, delusional thoughts, and just plain nonsense.
Project description as revised (if applicable) based upon the City Commission approved award:
Changes to projects awarded under the Artistic Disciplines program must still adhere to the requirement that the
work is new or has never before been presented in Miami Beach.
In September, 2011, Miami Dade College's Cultura del Lobo Performance Series was given a new name, MDC
Live!, and is now under the leadership of Executive Director, Kathryn Garcia. The series has-re- located the Pig
Iron Theatre Company to the Colony Theater on Miami Beach for two performances, bringing the total number
of performances that will be performed on,Miami Beach to five. Also, Sofia Rei Kousovitis•will now perform on
November 11, 2011: instead of February 4, 2012. The confirmed 2011 -2012 MDC Live! Series Miami Beach
-presentations will feature the following artists:
Sofia Rei ,Kousovitis November 11, 2011 / The Colony Theater (one performance). Originally from
Buenos Aires, Argentina, Kousovitis' work is grounded in traditional South American rhythms such as
chacarera, zamba and.vidala from Argentina, Afro - Peruvian festejo and lando, Afro - Uruguayan candombe,
Colombian cumbia and bullerengue and other genres that merge involving jazz harmonies, electronic
sounds and rich',improvisations..Singing in Spanish, Portuguese or English, Sofia's voice is as graceful as it
is sophisticated, tying together diverse, influences in a program full of rhythmic complexity, melody and
romance. Her ensemble produces a range of textures as diverse as the cultural roots of its members, an
international cast that includes some of the most exciting young talent from North and South America.
Pig Iron Theatre Company •. Chekov Lizardbrain / March 23 & 24 2012 — The Colony Theater (two
performances). This. Philadelphia based ensemble will. charge Miami for the very first time with their OBI E
Award- winning concoction of neuroscience. and maladroit Russian melodrama. A lonely, Aspergian botanist
conjures up a parade of unsettling and comic recollections in an attempt to shape his fractured memories into a
comforting fiction. Pig Iron's virtuosic physical performers spin a dizzying and poignant web of memory,
vaudeville, and stories that won't stay straight.
John Jasperse • Truth, Revised Histories, Wishful Thinking, and Flat Out Lies / April 13 & 14, 2012
The Colony Theater (two performances). Influential and innovative, American choreographer John
Jasperse's newest work addresses belief systems, the relative nature of truth, and how we construct
