Completely describe Project approved by the Grants Panel and in a separate narrative detail all revisions to the Project based upon the City Commission approved award. Please be as specific as possible; name of event, specific dates, venues, times, artists, etc. Use extra page if necessary. Project description as approved by Grants Panel: Ten public performances and events are proposed for the 2007 Florida Dance Festival from June 11-21, 2008, four of which are planned for Miami Beach venues. The proposed schedule for Miami Beach venues is: Bryon Carlyle Theater & Colony Theater JUNE 11, 2008, FACULTY GALA -TOGETHER & ALONE Byron Carlyle Theater (Colony Theater Alternate) Featuring dancer/choreographers who are part of the teaching faculty of the Florida Dance Festival. Faculty currently under consideration for inclusion in TOGETHER & ALONE are Michael Foley (Tampa, FL), Jennifer Archibald (New York, NY), Mohamed DaCosta (Gainesville, FL), Paul Matteson (New York, NY), Jennifer Nugent(New York, NY), Gillian Lopez (Miami, FL) and Victoria Marks (Los Angeles, CA). JUNE 14, 2008, KATHERINE KRAMER PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE (Miami) Byron Carlyle Theater (Colony Theater Alternate) Through the National Performance Network's (NPN) Creation Fund, Florida Dance Association will co-commission a new work with Co-Commissioner Helena Presents from Miami-based choreographer/tap artist Katherine Kramer. As yet untitled and still in the early stages of development, the work will incorporate various forms of tap and percussive dance accompanied by live drummers and musicians. Katherine Kramer has been a vital presence in the resurgence of classic jazz and rhythm tap since the 1970's and has appeared with such tap masters as Honi Coles, Brenda Bufalino, Gregory Hines and others. She directed her own company for many years, has toured two one-woman shows, Rhythms of the Heart and Tap Roots, and was a featured performer in New York's 1996 Tap Extravaganza. Since moving to Miami, she has produced two evening concerts incorporating live jazz music, tap dance, improvisation and poetry. She currently teaches at Barry University, Florida International University and Miami Dade College. JUNE 18, 2008, danceAble -DANCING WHEELS & CLEVELAND CONTEMPORARY DANCE THEATRE (Cleveland) Colony Theater These two companies are under consideration as featured artists for danceAble, a program within the Festival focusing on dance as a vital art form and means of physical expression for people with disabilities. Co-produced with Tigertail Productions, danceAble's goals are to provide access to high-quality dance and artistic movement education for people with disabilities, provide a forum for people with disabilities to interact with artists of excellence with and without disabilities, and to dispel conventional myths and open minds to the possibilities of who can create and perform dance. Specifically, these two companies have commissioned a work from renowned Los Angeles-based choreographer David Rousseve entitled "Walking on Clouds," which celebrates the common humanity that survives the boundaries of difference. With equal parts humor and grit, "Walking on Clouds" blends fact, fiction and possibility to find the connections between people with disabilities and people of color. Additionally, each company would perform a work from their own repertory. Information about the companies is available at www.ggqreq.com/dancingwheels.htm and WWW. CCdt. COm. (NOTE: Initial contact has been made with Dancing Wheels through their management company, G.G. Greg Agency, However, no firm commitment has been extended to the companies as of the date of this grant application deadline.) 6of10 JUNE 20, 2008, KEIGWIN + COMPANY (New York) Colony Theater Through the NPN Creation Fund, Florida Dance Association has co-commissioned a new work from choreographer/artistic director Larry Keigwin for Keigwin + Company in partnership with Bates Dance Festival in Lewiston, Maine. Larry Keigwin is one of the new rising stars in the New York contemporary dance scene. Using an incredible sense of wit, his work is an attempt to both tease and investigate identity in the context of contemporary pop culture. Although story drives the direction of his dances, the movement used is more than literal by being infused with theatrical nuance and the inherent abstraction of metaphor. Before assembling his four year old company, Larry performed with many dance companies and choreographed and danced for Broadway, Off- Broadwayand burlesque showcases. The cumulative effect of these varied influences helped him create a movement style that is at once dynamic and subtle. More information, and streaming video of the company, is available at www.keigwinandcompany.com. Ticket prices for Colony Theatre events will be $25 general admission, $18 student/senior and $15 for FDA members and groups. The Festival targets a broad general audience of all ages for its programs. Survey results from 2006 found that Festival audiences were primarily female (62% female, 38% male) with the largest age group (70%) between 26-70. Over 58% were Caucasian, non-Hispanic, 25% Hispanic and the remainder African-American, Asian ormulti-ethnic. Also, 40% of survey respondents traveled from outside Miami-Dade County to attend performances, a positive indicator that the Festival is contributing to the City's cultural tourism efforts. Project description as revised (if applicable) based upon the Citv 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. Changes in the Festival schedule and programming include the following: Due to decreases in funding sources the danceAble performance with Dancing Wheels has been temporarily cancelled and the Faculty Gala will be held at New World School of the Arts Dance Theater in Downtown Miami. We will present two performances at the Colony Theater.
