Choreographer Jeanguy Saintus works primarily from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, but his creative work has global appeal. He is a pioneering artist who blends Haiti’s traditional music and dance with more contemporary styles of movement and music. He isn’t afraid to throw in some Tchaikovsky or Ravel.
Even zombies need sensible snacks. In Sheila Hammond’s case, that means a baggie of severed fingers, which she munches like baby carrots while stalking her next victim in a parking garage, her pink “kill poncho” pulled tightly around her shoulders. In Santa Clarita Diet, the new 10-episode Netflix original series,…
It’s been 15 years since the world was introduced to the boy who lived — and he’s still Mr. Popularity. Harry Potter and his motley crew continue to inspire rabid fandom across multiple generations. Now the famous wizard is making his way to the Arsht Center. The Harry Potter Film Concert Series will kick off June 10 with its first installment, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
Thursday Fluorescent flamingos, bejeweled breasts, a dizzying swirl of palms: This is the opening to Miami Vice, which forever froze Miami in a pastel-colored time warp in the minds of cable consumers across the nation. It’s also the focus of David Reed’s exhibit at PAMM, which will benefit from a…
It’s not easy having eyes all over the scene, being around to take in all the wild visuals at all the worthwhile places in the city. There are, however, those parties and gallery openings where a fortunate photographer can point and shoot. Every week, in collaboration with WorldRedEye, New Times…
Last month, the Women’s March brought a sea of pink hats to Washington, D.C. Since then, the pussyhat has continued its takeover of news feeds, magazine covers, and viral videos. The hats, all made by hand, have become a symbol of resistance, a visual marker against President Donald Trump’s policies and cabinet picks. Launched by Krista Suh, a screenwriter in Los Angeles, the Pussyhat Project has turned simple knit headwear into the unofficial uniform of the resistance.
Romantic comedies seem to have soured more than most movie genres. It could be due to their insistence on happy endings, or perhaps it’s the rigid structure that demands easily avoidable conflict followed by the protagonist breathlessly chasing down his or her true love just in time for the end…
There’s no doubt Gloria and Emilio Estefan are Miami’s quintessential power couple. As successful musicians, business owners, and activists, the Estefans make the Magic City proud. But the story of these two — who fled Cuba is search of a better future in the United States — isn’t exclusive to them. In fact, it’s the story of not only Miami transplants who left their homeland in search of opportunity in the Land of the Free, but also every immigrant.
In 1902, Dr. John Kellogg changed two letters in the word “sanatorium” — defined as a resting spot for disabled soldiers — and changed the world. “Sanitariums” became the health resort of choice for the wealthy and weary, instilling in the privileged a sense that they were perpetually ill, and…
Larry Flynt is, to say the least, one of the more polarizing figures in American entertainment history. The 74-year-old Kentucky native is the founder of the infamous Hustler, a porn magazine that since 1974 has pushed the boundaries of the public’s sensitives. It was his contribution to the porn industry that brought him wealth in the form of a diversified empire that now stretches into casinos, hotels, films, and retail outlets.
“Donald Trump” and “protecting patients’ access to health care” are two phrases that aren’t generally associated with each other. But that fact didn’t seem to bother the American Cancer Society (ACS), which hosted its fundraiser Rock Palm Beach at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago this past Friday night.
Happy Monday, Miami. This week brings plenty of events, and the best part is they all cost less than $10. Grab a few bucks and enjoy what’s new in town, from Tinder Tuesday at Bitter Truth and Sippin’ Singles at Concrete Beach Brewery to Bucks Beer Garden at the Raleigh Hotel.
He might have been born a girl and voted homecoming queen, but from the beginning, Los Angeles-based performer Scott Turner Schofield knew he was a boy. “I spent a lot of my early childhood trying to convince people: ‘I’m not kidding, this isn’t a phase, I’m really a boy,’?” Schofield…
George Miller’s sci-fi series began in 1979 with the low-budget, practically DIY gearhead grindhouse flick Mad Max, and it was revived in 2015 with the delirious action masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road. All along the way, these pictures have captured something about their times that has allowed them to break…
After announcing one of the coolest events in town for February (and likely all year) — the Coral Orgy — Borscht Corp. has continued revealing the expansive Borscht Diez film festival lineup by way of email. Unsurprisingly, the Saturday and Sunday events show no sign of slowing down what filmmaker Billy Corben says is “one of the greatest film festival lineups ever.”
Heads-up, South Florida singles; Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples partaking in appointment romanticism anymore. 1-800-Flowers and over-priced restaurants aren’t the only winners on February 14. Why? Because nobody is the boss of you on this day. Especially not your nonexistent significant other. For singles, Valentine’s Day is just another…
In the days following President Donald Trump’s executive order prohibiting Syrian refugees from entering the United States and banning citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries in any visa category, heated protests broke out at airports in many states where travelers were detained. For many people, particularly immigrants, it has been an exhausting and devastating couple of weeks since Trump took office.
Rejoice, kings, queens, jokers, wretches, and knaves! The Florida Renaissance Festival is back in South Florida for its silver anniversary, and you’re invited to take part in all the debauchery and shenanigans. The goblets, shields, and swords will get broken out for the 25th season of the Florida Renaissance Festival this Saturday, February 11, at Quiet Waters Park (401 S. Powerline Rd., Deerfield Beach). The festival is set to run through March 26.
Legion, the much-anticipated new FX series created by Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley, wastes no time plunging us into the murky depths of its lead’s unraveling mind, from blissful youth to harrowing adulthood plagued by a failed suicide attempt. Every scene is a dense visual and sonic cornucopia. Even quiet moments…
Boundaries are violated repeatedly in Fifty Shades Darker, a film that demands even more submission of its audience than its predecessor, 2015’s Fifty Shades of Grey. No safeword can protect you from the sequel’s depleting incoherence, its punishing pileup of plot and its inability to successfully stage, even once, the…
The best time of the week is finally here — the weekend. The next three days are filled with music, art, parties, and boozy beverages galore. From Coral Gables to Little Havana to South Beach, these are the best places to be until the sun comes up Monday morning.
