The weekend is finally here, and are we happy to see it. This go-round, the Magic City offers some of its finest local talent, from the anticipated premiere of Miami City Ballet’s Heatscape; the often-surreal Otto von Schirach; O, Miami’s techy take on poetry; and Miami Beach’s annual Gay Pride Parade. There’s plenty for everyone.
Happy weekend, Miami.
Friday:
- Miami City Ballet: Points of Departure at Arsht Center for the Performing Arts: The performance will include the world premiere of Heatscape, a dance adventure paired with art design by legendary creative Shepard Fairey.
- Fadenfest at LMNT: Trick Daddy and Otto von Schirach will perform at what’s essentially some bro’s birthday party. But it looks like it’ll be a damn good party.
Saturday:
- O, Miami Poetry Texting Workshop at the Chill Concept: Poet Elizabeth Jacobson will lead this two-hour session marrying the mundane, communicative act of texting and the beauty of poetic collaboration.
