Primary Colors
The Dance Now Ensemble performs Primary Colors, Act I of its larger work, Secondary Colors. Blending ballet, modern and jazz dance forms, Primary Colors is a sensory experience of mood, music and movement. A sneak peak of new works set to premiere next season will also be performed.
Founded in Miami Beach in 2000, the Dance Now! Ensemble (DNE) is committed to the development of modern dance-theatre in South Florida. Co-directed by Hannah Baumgarten, a Julliard graduate dancer and choreographer, and Diego Salterini, a Roman born and trained Italian dancer and teacher, DNE has elaborated an emerging international style inspired by western dance traditions, but attracting and reaching younger, multi-national audiences through eclectic choices of music and contemporary themes.
The ten member Ensemble's goals are to choreograph and perform high quality dance, build community, promote diversity, and through teaching and outreach, help audiences gain a deeper understanding of the creative process in dance.

Quisqueya Henríquez
The World Outside, A Survey Exhibition
1991 – 2007
The World Outside, the first major survey of this Cuban-Dominican artist’s work in the United States, provides a selection of 22 sculptures, installations, drawings, photographs, videos and light/sound works spanning the last two decades of the artist’s career. Henríquez has gained international recognition for her concept-driven art, which she uses to bridge the cultural and psychological distances between the Caribbean and the “outside world.”
The works on view exhibit how Henríquez employs her sharp sense of humor and sensitivity to the struggles and ironies of everyday life to break down the barriers between experimental art and popular culture. She photographs construction sites, historical buildings, monuments and beaches strewn with trash, emphasizing how these sights echo global economy, culture, politics, and climate.

Women’s Stories
MOZ, Charoy, Kisling, Kelyne, Cabellut, Wesselman and Liu among others.
Opera Gallery’s comprehensive exhibit Women’s Stories features the work of twenty internationally acclaimed masters and emerging contemporary painters and sculptors, who have chosen women as their subject matter.
The exhibit encompasses a variety of media – oil, silkscreen, bronze and wood – and includes the irreverent and sensual paintings of MOZ, the gentle and feminine women in the art of Charoy, Kisling and Kelyne, and the over-sized, dramatic portraits by Cabellut. The styles of art are as varied as the simple lines that define Wesselmann figures, to the shocking bald-headed women by avant-garde Chinese painter Fei Liu. The gallery is donating a portion of their sale on opening night to Margaux's Miracle Foundation.
Throughout history artists have captured untold images of women performing traditional household duties, conveying homage to their fathers or husbands, or sitting idyllically in romantic landscape settings. In the twentieth century and a more liberal society, the images of women changed not only on the canvas, but behind it as well.
Opera Gallery is located in the Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Avenue, Bal Harbour. For more information call 305-868.3337 or log on to www.operagallery.com

Bartholomew Fair by Ben Jonson
NWSA Louise O. Gerrits Theater

General admission $12 / Students and seniors $5
Bartholomew Fair combines a celebration of festivity with an attack on the excesses of natural life. This is the climactic play of 17th century playwright Ben Jonson's great comic period. Using the Fair as a symbolic representation of religious, social and political conflicts in Jacobean England, Jonson presents unforgettable characters like Ursla the pig woman, and Troubleall the wandering madman.

Marry me - western Union
David Rohn
|
Marry me – Western Union will be Miami based artist David Rohn’s first exhibition with the gallery for which the artist will explore cultural and historical definitions of union, both temporal and eternal. Assuming the role of prospective bride “Esperanza” (which means both ‘hoping’ and ‘waiting’ in Spanish) the artist will address notions of unity, which he views as fundamental to the search for meaning.
Broadening his subject matter to include the theological, Rohn references the writings of the 16th century Spanish mystic Saint Teresa of Avila particularly from her book ‘Interior Castle’, in which she frequently described her union with God as that of a Bride to a Spouse.
Using live video feeds together with telephone and audio content. the artist will virtually connect the conditions within the gallery and those outside in the adjacent garden – stressing the relationship between internal and external consciousness and the part that technology plays in our relationships. |
