ArtStreet's New Media Evolution

We've partnered with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation for a radical project - an artistic enterprise unlike anything we've attempted before. WLRN is teaming up with the most exciting artists, musicians and performers in south Florida to collaborate on a series of videos designed for the web.

These videos will be fun, playful and creative. They will make history as Miami's artists take part in a project to define the city itself, using the tools of the internet age.

To learn more, check out the video posted below.

Yara Travieso comes to the NWS

Miami born director and choreographer Yara Travieso is an up-and-coming creative powerhouse. An original founder of the Borscht Film Festival, she has now turned her energy full time into producing, creating and manifesting wildly inventive mixed media performance pieces at world class venues like the Lincoln Theater in New York and the recently opened New World Symphony building on Miami Beach. Her latest show, presented by youngArts, opened to a packed house and was a bracing study of an emotional free fall. Although the show has moved on, I've posted the promotional video for it here. Enjoy!

Adventures of Discipline

Darren Hoffman is a Miami born filmmaker currently splitting his time between New Orleans and New York. He's working on a number of wonderful projects and this video is one of his newest. A dynamic multi-camera performance piece, the video focuses on a single musician, the great Jason Marsalis, as he plays the hell out of a drum set.

Focal Point Dance Studio

Focal Point Dance Studio is based out of West Kendall. That fact alone makes this a must watch.

For those of you not in the know, Coral Morphologic is a marine biology/art collective run out Miami by two mad geniuses, Colin Foord and Jared McKay. You can learn more about them by watching their ArtStreet segment, or by going to their website.
